Rooster Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I have this chrome piece from what I believe is a 1959 model. Any ideas of what it is and where it goes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I have a '59 Electra, but I don't recognize that. Does it have clips or screw holes on the back for attaching it somewhere?Pete Phillips, BCA #7338Leonard, Tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50jetback Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Would have thought you would recognise a chrome plated Boomerang when you saw one Rooster!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72gs455 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 At first glance I thought it was one of these, but i think it's different. So I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 It's got 4 mounting points on the underside. Maybe it's not '59 but another year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigDogDaddy Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Does it have a part number on it somewhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trp3141592 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi,Makes me think of the mid-50's "V" of a Cadillac V hood emblem.--Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 No casting numbers on it. It seems like it may not even be Buick at all. I got it with a bunch of other Buick stuff so thought it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 OK I have this part also that came along with the chrome piece. Anyone recognize it as Buick ? Looks like it forms part of the air system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry W Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It looks to me as though that part would be located vertically between the left end of the dash and the inside of the cowl of a mid fifties GM vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 That's what I'm thinking also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 59 Buick dash vent, I think. Does the bottom pull out toward you at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Nothing pulls out Adam. The only thing that moves is the air flow direction knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Straight eight Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Looks like the V shaped object comes from the rear fender wings on the very end. Probably from the senior series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Straight eight Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Check the advertising literature for next years meet in the Bugle. This part is on the car, right?Look at the photo S Martin submitted above, your part is the outline of the rear fender.

JohnD1956 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I agree with Adam and add it's probably the drivers side dash vent for factory A/C in a 59 Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks for clearing that up for me. I am almost sure these parts are off at least a Buick of some year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
