GS Air Cleaner
« on: January 28, 2016, 06:02:04 PM »
I recently dug out my air cleaners so I could ship one to Richard and one of my chrome ones had a chrome plated cover, not factory of course. I ordered the new Cars reproduction decal and just set it on there with some tape and it looks pretty good. I think I'm going to do that and use it on one of the cars. Pictures of the lid with and without the decal below. I will use it with one of the chrome air cleaners, not a black one.

Dear Jim and mid-60s Buick fans of so much chrome you need to wear sunglasses to look into the engine bay!  :glasses9:

Thanks for sharing!   Perhaps it isn't original, but Buick didn't seem to understand that - OUR - cars weren't run of the mill factory offering and needed a whole lot more - luv - to be happy!

. . . After all, if every Buick that rolled off the line in 1965 looked as beautiful as our cars, they most of then would have survived and they wouldn't be worth a dime! . . . :laughing7:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Jim,

When did you buy the air cleaner emblem?

Mark, I just checked the invoice and it was 8/20/15. I ordered a couple of them, looks like they went up now.

Thanks Jim. I ordered a week or two after that. Still don't have them.

Oh, I got the two I ordered, but they were damaged. Been trying to get replacements ever since with no luck.
