Where to find Buick center caps....

, thanx Jim, now that we are back on track...., I'll search Year One. Ive broused a few Buick forums but have not found what I'm after.


SH**, if I could find 2 weatherd ones like the pair I have I'd be happy

 

The caps Tedy is looking for are not for a GN or T-Type. The wheels, and center caps only came on B and D body Buicks and Oldsmobiles. GN or T-Type centers will not fit, the wheels are very different, the centers are too small of a diameter (I've tried). The only place you will find those flip'n center caps is on eBay and the like, and that will not be easy. You may by chance see them on someones car, but I've never seen them out and about, and I always look. I check the Buick center caps in the eBay listings a few times a week. I only found one, a few years ago, and I bought it. They are probably not going to be expensive, after all they are "just" wagon center caps. It's going to be next to impossible to find them.
On top of that, those center caps leave your lug nuts exposed, try to find chrome lugs that fit those wheels.

 

Thanx for the info, even though you say "it's going to be next to imposible to find them"....but is'nt almost anything when it comes to our wagons? I knew they were rare, but could'nt post a pic of the 2 I have, hence the confution.

I also have the same delema with lugs nuts for 2 wheels, the 2 that had the Buick dog cap.

My mis-matched caps "n" lugs were this way when our friend Suzie bout the car years ago.

Cheers again for some solid info, although it was'nt the news I wanted (but kinda expected), cheers none the less

 

teddy, your best bet is going to be checking with the Grand National guys. They may have some stored up. ive also seen some imitations on ebay where you buy the cap then it comes with the self adhesive buick emblem for the middle.


are these close?
