trying to order seat covers
« on: March 10, 2016, 03:38:06 PM »
So when I they tried to order the seat covers for my 65 gs from legendary they don,t list a black rear seat cover , only the fronts .
I called them and they said black was,t an option for a 2 dr hard top .    :help: :dontknow:

Call back and ask for someone who knows something (he says subtly).  The back seat in my 65 GS hardtop has black Legendary seat covers on it as do some others on this site. Why would they even offer black front seat covers and not rears ?

Make sure they know you are talking a Gran Sport and not a Skylark.

Looks like their 15% off sale just ended.
Now they have 10% off on web orders.

At times they have 20 to 25% off sales. You might want to wait if you want a better deal.

Well , I called back and talked to corey , I was very specific telling him it was GS 2dr hd top , even gave him the trim code ( 158-B      J-2 Paint . )
He tried telling that there was only 3 colors available for the hd top and black was,t one of them . :BangHead:
He did say they would get it figured out and that I should call back tomorrow  :argue:
Walt , I did notice the sale price went down it was 15 % last week     :sleepy2:

ASK for a discount, they may just give you one. It depends on how busy they are. I'll guess Dec-Jan is slow, hence the larger discounts.
Someone mentioned a July 4th sale. Thought they had a Memorial day sale too.

Does anyone get e-mail notifications of their sales? I only get a postcard once a year...

Dan ,
I should clarify something , the web site DOES list the front seats ( black w/ buttons on the back ) but then they listed the back seat for convertibles and not a hard top .
He said they can make them but it was more money because they had to make them .
Thats hog wash !!!!!
Its like ya say I just need to get a hold of the right person

John,

Corey gave me the same runaround about black last year when I wanted to order door panels. I thought I had sent him some factory
literature about that, maybe he doesn't remember.

I had the same thing with Corey in January I also told about the silver headliner . He had no idea that silver is unique to a GS. After a number of discussions I thought maybe black interior was no longer a issue .

Maybe these will help. From the 1965 Buick Color-Trim Book. Close-up is of the hardtop page.

I don,t have a catalog , but thats the page Corey was looking at and it says the black 100G was not available in rear for the gs for 65 .  :dontknow:
Anyway He never called me back today and I was to busy to give him a call .
Dan , soon as I call him back I will send him that info . I will get it figured out I just don,t feel like paying extra money for something I KNOW they have .

Someone needs to call Corey for an intervention.
Loren?
Ron is the guy who runs the shop. Maybe give him a call and explain the situation.
