ThomasL Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Looking to purchase a NOS or good used center armrest cup holder for a 1989 Buick Electra Park Avenue. lynde2375@charter.net Thomas Lynde BCA 46614 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 The internet site www.car-part.com enables you to search participating junkyards. You can enter the type of part you want; or else, I figure if they have the car at all, you can call to ask specifically about the cup holder. Your car is new enough that there should be some in junkyards. All the best to you in your search! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialEducation Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ha! Me too! After working my way all the way to the back of the yard today, I remembered that I needed one. I was frantically trying to remember were all of the Caddies, Olds, and Buicks were that had that goofy armrest. I found none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Thomas, Welcome to the AACA Discussion Forum. I guess I will be looking for one soon too. I noticed recently that mine is starting to show a small crack in the hinged area that looks like it is going to break if I don't glue it or make some other sort of repair. I guess that is a weak link in our 1989 Buick Park Avenues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Does anyone know a source where you could have new ones molded in a stronger material? Perhaps ABS plastic? It sounds like the plastic deteriorates with age, not by overstressing. Therefore, used ones might just be problems waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 John, I doubt there is enough of a demand for them to justify molding new ones. I suspect that it would be possible to find one in better condition or repairing an existing one to handle most of the demand. I have seen a few similar vehicles still on the road locally so there are still some out there to potentialy end up in a wrecking yard and supply one, but only time will tell.
