RivNut Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'd say that probably all of the washer bottles that Buick used are the same. They would hold a small triangular shaped bottle of washer fluid concentrate. You'd add some of the concentrate to some water and wala! - washer fluid.That would mount on the front of the passenger's side inner fender.Next you'll need to find a good bottle with the proper label and cap. Good luck - Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bepnewt Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks, Ed. I'll grab that one from him.Luckily, I'm not doing a restoration so I am not concerned about labels, etc. I believe I've seen the bottles for about $30 on CARS or one of those place. I'm not sure if it had the label or not. I'd look right now, but I'm heading over to the local Auto AC place who said they can test these R-12 canisters to see if they really are R-12.-BEPNewt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) There are two fluid bottles on those old Buicks. The big white plastic one that holds the fluid and is connected to the pump, then there's the smaller glass bottle that holds a concentrate. The big white plastic one is up near the brake booster, the smaller glass one is on the inner fender below the a/c compressor and behnd the horns. (pause)I just went to the garage and looked at both the '63 and the '64. The '63 has the same holder and bottle where I said it would be, but the '64 has only the two mounting holes in the inner fender. Don't know if it was never there or the previous owner removed it. Paint indicates it was never installed. :confused: Some one else with a '64 that's "known to be authentic" will have to chime in. Brian, I took a couple of pictures and will post them if YOU ask me to. Right now, downloading pictures is a PITA with this new computer.All GM companies used the same bottle and bracket. You can find replacements from some of the bigger Chevy repo companies. The differences are in the decals used on the bottle from year to year.Ed Edited November 10, 2011 by RivNut (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 That bracket looks the same as one used in many GM cars of that era. It's certainly in usable condition for a driver vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTX-SLPR Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 N2Buicks is a true standup guy so I'd say if he's listing it as a Riv part, it's a Riv part. That being said, I have one I pulled from my car when I put the fuse box in that location that I'm not needing, so if it falls through or you don't want to take a chance on it I'd let mine go for the same price.

bepnewt Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks, everyone. I'm going through with the purchase on the one I linked.It's not a part I need right now, but I will eventually. I haven't even looked to see if I need the other container - I just knew I didn't have this bracket or the glass bottle.No need for pics, but I appreciate the offer.-BEPNewt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheezeMan Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Would anyone know what color the original Kleer-view concentrate solution was, for the 1st gen era?Mostly I see green and blue liquids. I was going to try to get the correct color liquid to put in.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
