buick840 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 I've got a left front fender spear that would fit a Century...Thanks for the offer but I have all the stainless polished and ready to go back on.As I've not had any luck finding some good re-plated parts I've taken the plunge and visited some chrome shops this week. I Located one that has a good reputation and checked out their work........they already have 3 sets of 55 Buick bumpers in various stages of being repaired and plated.I'm beginning to think there are more 55's out here now than left in the whole of the USA:)I should have some nice shiny bumpers and other parts to go on the car when re-assembly begins.I still need to find some nice (preferably re-plated) Tail light housings for 40 or 60 series..................I'll post a new wanted advert for them.

bhambulldog Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The portholes and front fender spear are about the only trim that are common between our cars.But, I'll keep my eye open for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
