NTX5467 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 To get an idea of what goes where, if you don't already know, you can see if you can find an old Chilton Crash Manual for those years of cars. There should be some illustratons and such. Similar and probably bigger pictures would be in the GM parts books too.<P>Unless those emblems cross with other later cars, the salvage yard should be the best source or maybe the NOS parts people. I suspect most would attach with adhesive tape at that point in time.<P>Enjoy!<BR>NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Another good way to check out the emblems is by looking on ebay and collecter car trader online at the cars for sale. Many times they show several angles and can answer a lot of questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dans 77 Limited Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Heres what I can share with you emblem wise. on the trunk lid there is a small crest & "BUICK" on the right hand side of the trunk. at the end of each quarter panel about halfway down is a "LIMITED" script emblem. The hood ornament is a round Buick trishield with a chrome band running all the way around the emblem. Hope this helps & did you get the websites I sent you ?<P>Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
