dmfconsult Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 My 67 Electra is body color inside the trunk. Every late 60's/early 70's is painted body color. Thinking about it, I don't think I've ever seen a post war buick with the inside of the trunk painted anything other than body color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmfconsult Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Just saw a picture of a 69 LeSabre and it looked to have the splatter paint finish for the inside of the trunk.

dmfconsult Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 someone with a 69 or later Electra should chime in here. The LeSabre was a "lower" model, so not sure if the Electra's received different treatment in the trunk. I know skylarks have the splatter paint instead of body color, but it's possible Buick did a bit more work on the higher line cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 LeSabre trunk will have splatter paint, Electra won’t...it will be sloppy body color with all the trunk boards covering virtually all of the trunk sides. It will also have a felt-like trunk mat to cover the floor. The LeSabre will only have a rubber trunk mat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 For a 72 Centurion. Underside of trunk lid plus the gutter and hinge boxes are body color. The rear tailight panel is body color. The trunk floor and quarter panels are essentially satin black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the delay in responding, I had a problem on my computer with the last forum update. Thank you for your answer 😉 , when I stripped my trunk I only found body-colored paint on the panel (interior side) of the rear lights in the trunk. I did not find any body paint on the floor and the interiors of the rear fenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebastienbuick Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hello, I have been looking for "nut retainers" for a while to maintain the bottom of my front fenders on the Buick.I had to cut out the original nut retainers to be able to remove the front fenders, but I can't find new ones.Here is a diagram with the dimensions, I'm sorry the measurements are in centimeter ( centimètre (cm) ) If anyone can help me find this, thanks 😊.

sebastienbuick Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hello, after some research I saw that the nut retainers that I had found were not the right ones. And I continued to search but I did not find anything. I converted the dimensions from centimeters to inches on my diagram. If anyone has this to sell, I am the buyer thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
