GREAT FINDS are still out there guys!!  I am proof as well.  About 4 years ago, I was attending a BOP show in Kissimmee FL, a vendor fello had a beat up GM box, couldnt read the p/n or any id on the box...  and as I opened it, I immediately knew what it was... and he didnt.  he told me he's had this old box for many years, never being able to identify it.  Told me if I could use it, make him an offer to finally it off his hands...   
He sold it to me for $50. 

NOS 65 dash pad in Blue. P E R F E C T!!    :headbang:

No. sorry. its not for sale.   :nono:

A nos production style antenna was one of the things under my Christmas tree! This is one of three designs that are correct! This is the first nos production style antenna that I have ever had!(big ball on end) The two other styles are small ball and small ball with beveled grooves!

Dear Jon and mid-60s Buick owners who "have been good!"

A nos production style antenna was one of the things under my Christmas tree!

Golly, I didn't know that Santa had a big stash of NOS parts up at the North pole! :overthetop:

Seriously great find!  Thanks for sharing!

Cheers, Edouard

Was at the BOP swap at Kane County Illinois and picked up a very nice and straight set of wheel well trim, plus a set of GS vinyl top trim! For the Post car! The wheel well trim has smoke fire damage that I got two figure out how to get off so they can be polished! The vinyl top trim still shines good but does have some dings and dents can put on the car now and come back later and have it restored! :headbang:

Yesterday's treasure hunt yielded red kick panels and dash surround and nice door panels! For the Post GS project! And a bent up front bumper core!

You are very successful!  :thumbsup:

. . . In fact, you are finding more goodies that d'em swell fellers are finding on Oak Island!    Perhaps their problem is that they don't realize that the real treasure is classic Buick parts!! . . . .

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Always like dealers crest that have the name Buick or logo in them! From my out west trip! The Wyoming one is very unique as it is made from stainless steel! The Montana one was made by Douglas Stemac a company out of Minneapolis I believe.

Dear Jon and mid-60s Buick "prospectors,"

You remind me of the fellow who finds all the very rare parts for the vintage travel trailers on the TV series "Flippin' RVs."  Maybe we need to get a network interested in a new show "Flippin' mid-60s Buicks!"  :hello2:
