Seafoam65 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Wow, those are awesome! Somebody needs to tool up and make the bezels for the trunk lock on the 65's. Turbinator you are the man! The price is amazing as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanZverina Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Do they also fit the standard wheel cover as shown here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Yes, at least the originals were interchangable. Buying base wheel covers was how I used to find good examples of these centers for the spinners I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always came up with the emblems that were cracked and hazed. Turbinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbinator To clarify, Turbinator had them tooled up and manufactured while the rest of us were at home watching reruns of The Andy Griffith show. When he gets in a fresh shipment of these emblems, he ships them to AOC who certifies that no fossil fuels were used in the making of these products, then they go back to Turbinator's garage where they await your satisfied purchase!

bodayguy Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Wow really really nice. Now just make some with the 64 design too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbinator Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Thank you very much. The supplier is going to make the 64’s. With luck just in time for Christmas. Turbinator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I don’t want to rain on anybody’s parade, as they look terrific. But...RRB, if you are having these made, and selling them, have you checked into copyright laws? That Buick trishield is copyrighted. So is the Riviera R. GM gets really fussy about reproducing their parts with logos on them without expressed written permission. Sounds like an NFL ad, but it isn’t. GM can and will come in and take all stock and molds for these parts and have them destroyed. I’ve seen it happen. Even small quantities like this and only advertised here on the forum violates those copyright laws. Need to do some checking into this before you tool up and get a bunch of money tied into this.

Turbinator Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 On the whole I’m pleased. The product is truly a very fine replica. Im in hopes the supplier may find some 64’s for the cast aluminum covers. My vision is to fill the gaps with products , I know about, that are not yet filled. Buick centers has outstanding products. I’m not interested in offering what is already covered in the market place. Hopefully, customers are happy with the product and the price of the goods. When you deal with the Turbinator you always come out a winner. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanZverina Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I ordered and received a set of these tri-shield wheel emblems and am delighted to report that they fit perfectly and look great. My '63 came with the standard wheel covers (not the spinners or simulated knock-offs). Congrats to Turbinator for a job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanZverina Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 All the credit goes to Bob - I just bought them and very carefully managed to peel back the tangs and replace the center emblem, and then press the tangs back down with a small block of pine and arm power while the wheel cover was face-down on a soft surface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
