  1. Hey, was wondering if anyone knows if these are available anywhere? Thanks
  2. Hello all, I'm Jack from Portland Oregon. Been working on my 1956 Buick Special hardtop for about 5 years now. I just found some answers to windshield clips here so I thought I better sign up! When I was about 14 years old the first car I ever drove was a 1956 Buick Special 4 door, I always loved and owned a few tri-five Chevys but about 5 years ago when I went looking for one even a basic starter car was out of my price range. So I thought about the 56 Buick, it was actually quite similar and held a special place in my heart, and of course was much cheaper to start up. You can see the extensive details of my journey at my website but a short history: Rusted out 4 door 1956 Special $500. 1985 El Camino (It had been modified already with a different drive train including changing to a manual trans.) $2200. Cut 5 inches from the length of the Buick body at the back door to fit the 1985 Chevrolet G-Body frame creating a 2 door car. Although I loved the 56 Buick dash it was really wasted, and I love the 55 Buick gauges which made a perfect switch for the Auto Meter gauges I used. Been a long 5 year journey for me but anxious get an old mans final hot rod on the road this summer. Apologies to the purist :~)
