I’m looking for the plastic wood trim that goes around the hvac and radio for a 86 Lesabre limited.

Thank you for the lead. Unfortunately they don’t have it.

They were nice looking cars.  Is yours a coupe or 4-door sedan?

Can you post a picture or two of it?

 

Collectors little realize that once-common cars, such as this

LeSabre, are few and far between today.  They disappeared

without car fans even noticing.  It's easy to find a 1985 Riviera,

or a 1990's Roadmaster wagon, or a Reatta convertible, but

many other models, made in substantial numbers and once

common, are rarely seen today.

Thanks. It’s a coupe. Making it a bit more uncommon.  I’m glad you appreciate it

Another place to check is www.car-part.com.

There, participating junkyards list the cars,

or the parts from cars, that they have.  You can

enter your car, and the category of part you need.

I think that, if they have such a car listed for any

type of part, that car may have its interior trim intact too.

Thanks. I did search there and put my info in if they ever come up with one. I do have a lead on one. Hopefully that comes through

I like the front-end styling of the 1986 LeSabres,

much more than other years of that body style.

I believe that grille was for one year only.

 

Your car looks excellent, Df824, and is much scarcer

than people realize.

Thank you! I always say to people “when was the last time you saw one”. Especially the coupe. Those you never see. 
 

The grill and quad headlights are one year only. Which is a big reason I bought it. I think it really says “1980s”.

To try to help, I did a search there for you.

Entering "dash bezel" in the search criteria yielded

nothing, as you found out.  However, searching for

"dash panel" (whatever that is) gave results.

If a junkyard has a dash, they may have what you need.

It's surely worth giving these places a call!

Let us know if you find the bezel.  It's always heartening

to see fellow hobbyists succeed.

 

And if they have the right car, and their prices are good,

maybe get a few extra items to set aside.

They appear to have the bezel. I also ordered another part that I think is wrong. But the bezel was the main thing. Once I get it in I’ll post a pic. Hopefully it gets here in one piece
