Rusty Heaps Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I’ve been going to this junkyard for odds and ends for my ‘52 and ‘53 Specials. There are still some good parts on these ‘50s era Buicks. A shame to see them going to waste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Heaps Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 And these, along with others that I have not photographed. Close to two dozen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Phillips Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Rusty Heaps, grab that '58 upper grille bar extension! Those are impossible to find in undamaged condition. If you don't want it, I do!

Rusty Heaps Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Those ‘53 convertibles are Roadmaster and Special. Unfortunately the driver side door from the Special wasn’t usable for my coupe, too far gone. The top bows are there with the exception of the leading edge of sheet metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy to look and scavenge for parts whenever I go. If I can help fellow old car nuts when I’m trying to rescue my own, then so much the better. I’ll grab what I can, just let me know.

buick man Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Grab the center grill and badge bar off the 57 Buick before some hick kicks the nice chrome teeth in and it has a good windshield as well. Also, the bumper assembly on those 53 Buicks are all there and intact as well. Edit: Oh if the owner is very reasonable you could always flip the parts either here or on sneeze bay for extra cash. Stock up - Cash out. Edited March 22, 2021 by buick man (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Heaps Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Unfortunately the windshield is trash , but there is a ‘52 Special 2dr sedan with good 3 piece back glass and quarter windows not terribly delaminated, all in the E Z Eye.

drptop70ss Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) any 47-48s? Need some side trim for my 48 roadmaster sedanette, looking for right side stainless spear that mounts to the rear skirt and also the curved piece of trim that goes in front of it.

Rusty Heaps Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 I don’t recall seeing any Buicks of that vintage, but I will look next trip. Are those the same pieces as the ones on the other 2dr cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Heaps Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 The ‘55 in the photos has decent sheet metal, including the quarter panels. No hood, no floor pans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
