FRED Z Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 l recently purchased a 1957 Buick Super Riviera and just detailed the engine compartment. I am wondering if this engine had valve cover decals, and if so, what type of decal? I called Bob's Automobilia in CA, but he was not sure, saying that 1957 was too new! I have a 1954 Buick Special Riviera and that car has the smaller V8 and has engine decals. Any ideas on what type of engine decal should be used on the 1957 and if so, can anyone describe? Thanks,Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 What a nice looking Super!1957 does not have any decals on the rocker arm covers. It does get a decal on the side of the air cleaner, having to do with air cleaner maintenance, and maybe a small orange one on the oil filler cap, and I think that's about it. CARS, Inc. has these in their catalogue. You also need to join the Buick Club to get the magazine, parts ads, and ads from CARS, Inc.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRED Z Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Thanks for the info. I will check CARS web site. I am already a member of the AACA, Buick Club of America, Cadillac-LaSalle Club and others. Since my car is so nice, I want to keep it as original as possible. Thanks again.Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Straight eight Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It might be a good idea to add Bob's Automobilia to your list. He can be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caballero2 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 It might not hurt to do a search. Not long ago an AACA member with a very nice Super Riveria quite similiar to yours asked almost identical questions. I agree that the engine itself was free of decals except the oil filter canister. The Air Filter (orange for 4bbl carb or white for a 2bbl carb) and windshield washer pump/jar top had a trico decal.Dan '57-76C '57-56R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
