    It is still 1972 Buick related!
    The 1972 Buick Riviera Silver Arrow III had those. Hard to see in the photo (can't find a better one at the moment)[​IMG]

    Just last week I primered the Electra (except for one fender skirt... but that will be solved soon thanks to David :thumbs2: )

    Looks amazing, and even a bit evil in it's present state. Stephen King would love it I am sure!

    Thanks 'Vid.
    If you think it looks evil now, just wait until it is all together and coated in black epoxy primer.
    It will, for a while, look like Christine's younger, more down-to-earth sister...evil, yet so practical! :rofl2:

    David :)

    Here's a more close up look on those 72 Silver Arrow brake/blinker (?) lights

    [​IMG]

    From 74-76 those lights were on the Riviera near the lower rear window as Olds had those on the Toronado from 71 (?? Jeffrey.... help me out here )

    I still have those bezels/lights/sockets here from a 75 Riviera parts car... if you can use them David, please let me know.

    not sure about Riv, I think they were 74 75 76 like the Toronado... Toronado started in 71, thru 78.

    I had a 76 Riv once that I really liked and was looking for a boattail when the Toronado found me.

    The Rivs look good, added on but very nicely styled. The Toros are definetly more plain, but more integrated.

    a 71 currently not moving on eBay for the 5th relisting:
