Just wanted to take a few min to thank YALL (one of the things I learned in Texas) for the great time in Plano. It is always nice to meet some of the people
on this discussion page. What a nice bunch of cars that everyone has. Everyone
is a keeper and regardless of where the Reatta will prove to be in the big scope of Buick everyone should be very proud of your ride as they are very special and should be treated that way. Again thanks for the good time and I hope everyone made it home safely. Any one ever coming to Wichita or Just passing through the coffee pot is always on and you are always welcome

When going through my shed getting ready for the plano show
I found a couple of old center caps. They have road rash and are
not very good quality, but the gold centers are real good. I will be out of
town for a couple of weeks but if you are interested let me know.
contact me at Igor@wichitausa.com

cars in the Wichita Kansas market always everyone who comes here....Lots of great cars and Quality people and never any problems.....Everyone is always welcome in the midwest.

found a new windshield last week. contact Debra Nance with autoglass outlet
at 316-263-3191. I think the price was aroung 500.00. dont know if it is
still available. she said that it had a very small oyster at the very bottom, but it was new and never installed.
-
Well Mike I went ahead and purchased the windshield for $900.00
plus tax in a crate where it is secure till I really need it. I had
them take it out of the crate before I bought it and it is perfect. I understand
that there is another new windshield in Tulsa Oklahoma and I was told that it
has a small osyter on the very bottom, I have asked for a photo to see the damage. I was told that the glass most likely was set down too hard and created the osyter, but it was so small that it would not be a problem. I asked the price and was told that it was $500.00. I was not interested but someone might be. If anyone wants more information E-Mail me and I will give you all the information that I have.
-
Hi Craig, yes I tried them and no luck, I have a star on mine and
I have been looking high and low. I thought that $600.00 was what
I thought that everyone was paying but I guess that times are a changing.
Are you going to be able to come to the Derby Car show on June 5? Should be a
big show and I think that we will have at least 3 Reatta's maybe 4 with yours

does anyone here know what a fair price for a new windshied would
be, i want to have one for a spare and have located one but the price is
$900.00. Is that a fair price it seems high to me, is there any help out there
thanks

Barney I have checked 3 other Reatta's in the Wichita area
and all 3 of them have the McGard Key. one has a pink dot, one has a
white dot and one has a blue dot, so I am assuming that they were the
company that furnished the locks to Buick. The only thing that I cant find
out is how many different locks were there. How many color dots could have been
used. I would venture a guess that there were not over 20 different locks and then they were repeted. I would bet that each set had a color dot. If any one has a key look and see if there is a color dot on it.
-
It would appear that the guard keys that lock the lug nuts
were color coded. Does any one have any idea how many colors
were used, who made them and are they available? How can I tell
which key to try to find looking at the wheel. The key that I have
has a white dot but it is not the right key. Any info would be appreciated.
and yes I know that I can take them off without a key but I want to keep the
car right
thanks

lots of e-mails around that may 19 is a dont buy gas day, how

out of control. sooo dont buy gas if you can avoid it and lets see what
happens. probably nothing, but lets try

Hey anyone living close to McPherson Kansas and wanting to go
to a super car show do so this weekend, the featured car is a 1929
Rolls Royce Phantom I It was awarded Best in Class & Most Elegant Closed
car at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. This show is at the College Automotive Restoration which is the only accredited degree restoration program in the country today. It is quite a place. Further information at www.mcpherson.edu. My ol Reatta should give that Rolls a run for its money lol.

the data base. really does have some good parts

I have found another car in a salvage yard in Wichita,Kansas
and it has lots of good parts. The car was in an accident and
the drivers fender is gone the windshield is not good, but all
other windows including the vent windows are there and in good shape.
three of the wheels are there and have the usual road rash. Both door handles
are in tact. This car is going to be parted out and when i talked to the salvage owner he was going to inventory the parts in the next week or so
so i told him that i would post the car here and if anyone has any interest in
any parts e-mail me and i would have him get back with you. I am going to take some photos of the car in the next few days and if anyone wants photos let me know Chuck in Wichita igor@wichitausa.comI also now have digital photos if anyone is interested....

You are 100% right, the 88,89 had 2 keys in the black plastic
case and the 90,91 had only one key in the case for the reason
you mentioned, this is important information for someone wanting to
have their car 100% right thanks
-
Mark I have spent several hours doing research on this subject and from
what I have been able to find out is that the '88 and '89 only came with
a leather fold over with the Pen and the plastic set of keys. The owners manual
was Approx 8 1/2x 5 1/2 and the pen was in a loop on the left hand side of leather foldover the plastic keys and 2 slots were provided for salesman cards.
The '90 and '91 came with the zippered portfilo which contains a Pen, Penlignt and tire guage along with the owners manual it is smaller 7 1/2 x 5. The portfolio also came with a plastic set of keys, a road atlas, the story of the Reatta " A Handcrafted Buick", a note pad and a card to order an engraved portfolio name plate to stick on the outside of the zippered case. There was a flap that covered up the owners manual and it contained the craftsman log. I think the early '90's some of them must have come with a side fold owners manual that was the same size as the other 90 91 items This was a side fold with the pen only on the right hand side. All three items have the gold Reatta in the middle. I have managed to secure all 3 of these and i can forward photos to to you if you like.
contact me at igor@wichitausa.com I had a hard time finding the flashlight and the tire guage but the pen seems to be pretty common. I dont know any for sale but you will find them on e-bay from time to time

Nic I am with you, lets hope and pray that the shooting stops
very soon, my son is at the age that he could end up there and
I can only hope that he does not have to go. Pray we get our young
folks home asap and in one piece. Boy there is a lot of people in this
world that have a lot more problems than I have
Happy Easter

I still have 3 center caps. I cant say that the metal part is in good shape but the letter R center piece is very good on all 3 if you want i can send you a photo of each one to see if you are interested. Or e-mail me at Igor@wichitausa.com

Today I came across Sylvania Number #889 Bulbs and according
to the book they are the correct number for the fog lamps in the Reatta
Does any one know if this information is correct and if it is does anyone need
any. They are $6.96 each and I would bet there are 50 of them. Any body wanting
information e-mail Igor@wichitausa.com

Simple tell him the Reatta needs to have the brakes serviced and the only
mechanic lives in L.A. Have him drive the Reatta out there get it serviced and then return home. You should have the ssr for most of the spring
Would work for me
FOR BARNEY-WEB PAGE PROBLEM

Mike you can also get on it by going to www.reatta.net
