Guest caballerotogo1 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hello to allI have a problem and am hoping for some help please. I have a buick caballero and I was looking to replace my grille because of pitting in the chrome. I have located another grillethat is nicer than mine but I am not sure that will fit. The serial numbers on my original grille is different than what is on this other grille.They do look exactly alike in a photo and same number of bolts to hold it in place. Could anyone tell me if there me what the parts numbers are for a Caballero grille. Is a Caballero grille the same as all other 57 Buick grilles.Is the Roadmaster grille different than a Caballero Grille? (longer, wider etc.)Did Buick produce only one grille that fits all Buicks that were made in 57?Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help.

John348 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I would invest in a Buick parts book from 1957 if you can find one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 One from 1960 or so would be better. It takes a few years for the parts to catch up to the book.............Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
61polara Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 You need to be looking for a Special or Century grill. The Super and Roadmaster grills are wider and will not fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed this with Chevrolets a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
