Todd, I think we have the same Becker Buick license plate frames. Anything else available from that dealer out there?

Sorry, missed this question. Becker is several hundred miles away, but will be within spitting distance this weekend. I will see what they have.

Re-chromed shifter and consolette back where they belong.  New air cleaner decal in place. I still have a lot of decals to go.

Dear Buick_65 and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Re-chromed shifter and consolette back where they belong. 

Looking nice!  :hello2:

New air cleaner decal in place. I still have a lot of decals to go.

That looks nice also!  Unfortunately, if you are really trying to get a 100% stock restoration, you'll have to put a decal in every place Buick did so back in the da' day! 

Even so, if you keep pluggin' . . . . you'll eventually get there!  :icon_thumright:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

I saw that Jim.  I will see what kind of doo dads they have for sale.  Did you need a new set of license plate frames?

No, I would only be interested in something old from back then. Actually my frames are in very good condition. I sent the owner a picture of the car and email but I never heard back.
