Thanks, Edouard! That thread is the exact recipe that I plan to follow. I do hope that Loren still has his contact for the paint work. I guess I can use the appliqu?s that CARS sells if I have to, but the red & blue shields are reversed on those, which is kinda hard to overlook. I appreciate the link!

Thanks, Glenn. I did find those decals from CARS & bought a set for my convertible. Is it just me, or are the colors on the shields reversed?

Sean, The front side of the emblem will have the colors red-white-blue from the front side and will be reversed blue-white-red on the back side.

Please don’t throw away the original tri shields - I’ll gladly take them off your hands!

Dear Sean and mid-60s Buick caregivers with an eye to fine detail,

UPS delivered the package yesterday, and I am quite happy with the parts! The rear center emblem is especially nice, and the hood ornament is definitely restorable. If y'all need anything, I would recommend this seller!


Congratulations!  You have indeed gotten some very nice parts.  How were you planning to restore the hood ornament?  There is an old thread on how to restore hood ornaments:

http://65gs.com/board/index.php/topic,2709.msg17347.html#msg17347

I don't know if Loren can still have these ornaments repainted you might touch base with him and find out.

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:


  My contact has moved across country , I'm not able to offer the hood ornament painting. Sorry guys!
