Kartman01 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I have a 1950 Buick Super Estate Wagon and the the 'hinge' on the drivers side vent window has broken. The hinge appears to be made from pot metal, so there is no way to weld or solder the pieces back together. I have attempted multiple internet searches for '1950 Buick Vent Window' but what is coming back does not look like the vent window on my car. My questions: 1) Does anyone know if the vent windows used in Buick Estate Wagons are different than production Buick vent windows? 2) Can anyone point me in a direction as to where to possibly find a replacement vent window? Thanks in advance for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estate Wagon door vent-windows (ventilators) are interchangeable with some other models since your 1950 Super Model 59 Estate Wagon, along with other 1950-1953 Super/Roadmaster Buick Estate Wagons (and some other years), rolled off the Flint-Michigan assembly line as four-door sedans (with the respective wheelbase) and were then shipped to the Ionia Manufacturing Company in Ionia, Michigan for the wooden body conversions. Note that ventilator windows from the longer wheelbase 1950 Super four-door sedans are not interchangeable with the shorter 1950 wheelbase four-door sedans . . . or ventilators from hardtops or convertibles. There should be plenty of other years, models, and some Oldsmobile vent windows to look for out there. Good luck.
