I was going to list my films next month on E-Bay, but if you are into Buick Films. I have a set of 10 Original Buick films for the 1970 Buicks. All are stillin their original boxes. There is a short film and a record in each box. I don't have the player. I am not sure what subjects are covered. All are different subjects. I will have a reserve of $300 for the set, sounds high but finding the set is very hard and these are rare. Greg: did you read this.

Hi Philippe The letters are from the hood, to use on the stars cleaner you will need a flat type speed nut, check the old letters on yours. Good luck Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com

I had the same problem several years ago with my 70 Wildcat. Purchased one of the form fitting carpet set. The center hump had the same problem , when I called the supplier, This is what he told me to do. You may have to heat the underside of the carpet, he said to lay it out in the sun for a couple of hours or use a heat gun to warm it up. After 3-4 hours on a nice hot sunny day I reinstalled the carpeting and it fit perfectly. I was told NOT to cut the carpeting. I know this sounds like a lot of work, removing and installing again, but cheaper than replacing with new carpeting. Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com

Charles2 I had my running boards re done in 1999. A 1940 Century. Contact Hunley Acuff, 1423 Wilson Rd., Rossville, GA. 30741. Price was $ 750 at the time, and cost an extra $50 for him to remove old rubber. The new rubber is form bonded to original metal. Excellent workmanship, cannot tell from original boards. Several other I know had theirs done by him and all raved about work as excellent. I can't find a phone number at this time. Try information and call him. I don't hink steel has the correct design for your boards. He will do almost any car make running board covering. Good luck Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com

Anyone know of a Kaiser- Frazer site??? JimSchilf / palbuick@aol.com

Hi Rich Check with In Line Tube. I purchased the parts you are looking for some time ago. I thin they may have several sizes. It might be cheaper to have them bend you new lines. www.inlinetube.com Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com

Hi Rick. Some information you might use to restore the STar Wars. The Round insert emblem is standard from a 63 door panel, the letters on the front, BUICK, are also from 1963. I have restored a couple of these Air cleaners. As for the color I found that 1965/66 Buick Flame red was almost an exact color match Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com

Hi Gary. Hows everything going up there in the cold north. VERY few of these original Limited emblems have survived. I believe that they were cracked or broken during early delivery or customer broke them and were replaced with the tri shield. I have only seen two Limiteds with the original emblems. I have a NOS Limited insert for these but have never found the main base. When photographers were taking pictures of the new line of cars sometimes they would alter certain items for the camera, either by air brushing or changing parts, which ever looke best to them. Remember the 68 Wildcat with the mag wheels and the 65 hubs and several shows, The owner had a promotional newspaper picture of the car, with them on and would not believe anyone that they were wrong. I have no idea of how many Limited were produced in 1970, but a lot less than electras, so the popular replacement was the tri shield. Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com
