Thanks for the internet links ! I didn't know that they remanufactured the dashboard speaker .
-
Yes, the speaker support is made by the magnet, and finding a new speaker is not easy. Here are mine from my 1969 Electra

Thank you very much for this information ! Indeed on my parents' 1941 Buick there was the handbrake cable which hurt the torque tube and I didn't know that originally there was this rubber washer. So I attached the cable so that it no longer moves, but now that I know that there was this rubber washer originally, we are going to order this part ! . THANKS !

good job, this color is very beautiful !

You did a good job on this beautiful Buick . The rust can be repaired and your Buick is in good condition Some people use the phrase " car for a parts " and I don't like that phrase, I like American cars, and I like to see people saved, they're beautiful cars that make us dream all over the world !

Great work !
-
The dashboard is very nice, and it's good if you were able to find the right U-joints
-
WOWWWW VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL !!!! All of them are superb, I love them ! And this 1959 Buick (Electra?) convertible is magnificent, and the other Buicks are magnificent too !

Hello, I took my u-joints to a turner/miller (machinist) to rectify the "edge" that I circled in red, the arrows in red show what I had to remove for it to be like original The model of these u-joints are: Dorman 81002 You can find them here on this link : https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-HELP-81002-U-Joint-Repair/dp/B000CO7ED0 Or here https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-18591-81002.aspx Normally it's the same model as mine
-
The u-joints you are looking for, are those of the transmission shaft / axles? If that's right, I had to change them on my Buick, it was complicated to find, but I found a model that was similar but I had to modify the new joints so that they correspond with the 'drive shaft . here are photos of the original u-joints and the new ones : the original one on the left and the new one on the right, you can see that the new one is different and I had it rectified so that it is like the original

The Buick will soon be ready for painting ! Rust in the trunk could also be water condensation over time ?
-
I was also looking for two mirrors for my 1969 Electra, and I realized that there were two models available. A non-adjustable model, and another slightly larger model which is adjustable from the inside thanks to a joystick. Are you looking for an adjustable or non-adjustable mirror ? If you are looking for an adjustable one, there is an adjustment joystick on the door panel or on the dashboard

I may be making a mistake, but if you turn the propeller in the other direction, does the rotation change ? (the propeller sucks on one side and blows on the other)
-
Okay , good luck , your Buick will be very beautiful once finished
-
Thank you very much , I will keep you informed if one day I come to Miami
-
Agreed, yes it's a beautiful city, and if one day I go on vacation to this region, I will visit this city Your Buick is very very beautiful, and the work done is fabulous, it is superb !
-
Superb photos, your Buick is magnificent and the other cars are very beautiful too . And I really like the landscape, the buildings,...
-
Are you the one going to paint the car ? Or is it a garage/body painter who will paint it ?
-

-
My Electra 69 does not have this option too

Hello everyone, on a well-known sales site in France I found someone who was selling a lot of American leaflets and there were some from Buick. And so I bought this Buick leaflet ! 1949 Buick 1950 Buick 1955 Buick 1956 Buick 1957 Buick And 1958 Buick I'm happy to have bought this Buick leaflet, I found it very beautiful I don't know why, the photos are not in the right direction, they are sideways -
Woww beautiful bumper ! and that steering box is superb ! I am currently working on the steering box for my 1978 Dodge Monaco. This interior mirror is very interesting, I had never seen this option with the integrated light. Did you have the manual with the options available for Buick 1968 ? This option may be there. Is it a light bulb ? it's not a probe? Were there disc brakes (at the front) on this 1968 Electra ?
