Guest xpalexprincessx Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hello, so I'm trying to help my boyfriend restore his 1948 buick, and unfortunately he lost a part... I've been asking around trying to find the exact name for this part... but everytime I ask I get different answers... I'm trying to replace it for him but I can't look it up without knowing the name... If you could please tell me what its called, or where I can find it... I would appreciate it very VERY much! I am attaching two pictures, one of them is with the piece and the other is without it, so you know exactly what I'm looking for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 "Fender gravel shield" or "fender stone guard" are the common terms for those fender protection devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Looks like the wrong side is offered. You need the right (passenger) side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xpalexprincessx Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 thank you so much, you guys have been absolutely wonderful... one last question, so i managed to pry the stone guard off.... i notice it has a different attached part to it that it goes mounted on, i took a couple of pictures, maybe you guys can tell me what the part it called that it is mounted on to...? pretty please any help at all would be highly appreciated!

keiser31 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Upper part I would call the stone guard mounting bracket? Stone guard extension? If you are talking about the piece that the stainless is wrapped around, I would call that the stone guard base plate or similar term. Sounds like you need to find a parts book or shop manual and look in the "body" section of the book. Maybe the base plate is the actual "stone guard" and the stainless is called the "stone guard trim"?

keiser31 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) I would call it a headlamp bezel crest or bullet, but I am not a Buick guy. Edited February 16, 2013 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhambulldog Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 In Buick parlance the 'headlight bezel' is known as 'headlight door'I think Buick might call that piece 'headlight door trim piece' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Foggy norm Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 58 mustang, understandably, doesn't appreciate the "droopy eye'd" look of the headlight cover. I'm not a fan of the regular headlight cover, this style isn't far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 You didn't see what I saw. The car has had the roof and trunk area removed and some sort of bed installed, turning it into a giant roadster pickup thingy. It was a disturbing sight and she removed it right away. I have to live with the image burned into my brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
