« on: February 05, 2017, 07:31:39 PM »
Was there more than 1 style of the paddle type interior door handle ?

John,

Should be chrome, not brushed.

Or just search for '66 Impala, since that is probably the most popular application.... something like 1,000,000 of those made! (right Mark?)

John, I bought mine from Year One.  And they are correct, very nice and made by Trim Parts.  Their PN 2073.  I bought them from Year One during one of their sales events and they were cheaper than the ones on Ebay.

Dear John and mid-60s Buick bargain hunters,

Was there more than 1 style of the paddle type interior door handle ?
mostly in concerns to the raised part of the paddle , I,m seeing the raised part in smooth chrome and a brushed chrome .


You may (or may not) be in luck.  OPGI is having a sale on these sorts of parts:

http://email.opgipromotions.info/public/viewmessage/html/37539/g9bxmknon5ze80sa25xjnn6mpyd7c

Usually, OPGI doen't discount individual items enough to make up for the shipping cost, but if you have some other things to buy from them, you might end up saving some dough.

Cheers, Edouard
