Legendary doesn't have anything on their site about MD sale. Anyone know what it is?

Too early? (Re: Interior color: Gold)

Dear Iain and mid-60 Buick owners who always like a sale,

Legendary doesn't have anything on their site about MD sale. Anyone know what it is?

I think you are a bit too eager.  Usually it is announced only a few days before Memorial day.  Thursday is more like it.  Do you get Legendary's emails regularly?

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Hmm. Kind of doubt it's an in demand part. In the online catalog it's listed as $300 for the pair. 30% off that would be a fair deal.

WOW!. . .  :icon_scratch:  I haven't received any email from Legendary and nothing on their website.  The memorial day sale was something of a tradition for that company, but not this year.  The economy remains really tough, perhaps they decided they could suffer the loss of business.  Sorry to see this happening though. . . .  :crybaby2:

Oh well, . . . . Edouard

Dear Iain, Walt, Dan, and mid-60s Buick owners who like things on sale,

Sale is May 25 to 29. 15% off manufactured, 5% off distributed.


Silly me!  I'm the one who ultimately was too impatient!

The sale was announced later than I was expecting.  It is live on the Legendary website right now:

If I can figure out the right color I am going to order a headliner tomorrow before the deadline.

I need opinions.

Here's my 'pickle':

Years ago I had a guy do my dash pad, seats boxing, and rear armrests in the same color 'tan' vinyl. It looks great.
My door panels are original, except for the driver, which I did poorly in the same tan vinyl.

The reason I didn't order fronts is 1) you have to buy both 2) If I did, then I would have 3 different vinyls going on.

I have thought this one over many a time considering my options. I honestly cannot come up with a reasonable plan that I like. I am somewhat budget and time constrained.

My favorite plan has been to order the original fawn color from legendary (it does match well to the originals, though the originals are faded a bit) and do my best upholstery job on it. I would then have 2 vinyl colors but one would have to look closely to tell. Of course,  I don't have dielectric sealing equipment so I would sew to pleats. Possibly tuck n roll style.

Just to add one more thing, the front bench has seen some wear since it was done, and the substrate is toast. I really should have had it re-sprung. The guy used cloth pinpoint, he said it was original to an impala. I am not sure if that is truth.

so, what would you do?

What color are the seats in your fawn interior? Mine look kind of off-white and the headliner is white. My car codes as Saddle Mist with a Fawn interior. I need to get mine figured out too.

No, your code is 193, which is Dove, not Fawn.
