Dale Smith (aka buick1) [ View ] [ dlsmith1@comcast.net ] [ Car Ads ] [ Blogs ] Indianapolis, Indiana (317) 849-4284

My 41 Buick Limited has stainless head light trim rings with a heavy pot metal piece riveted on top that matches up with the turn signal fender piece. I have smoothed the fenders so now am looking for rings that are smooth. Mine like many I have seen have a MALE tab that hooks into the mounting piece under the trim, and one screw in the bottom. Are GM rings the same, and any suggestions on a supplier is most welcome. I can weld up these, but they are dented so new is what I prefer. Thanks, Dale Indy

If your rings look the same the chevy rings will work. They have the same mounting as you describe. They are available at chevs of the 40's or I&I reprductions.

I found a Buick supplier in CA. that has new stainless for $44.00 for the pair. The ID meaurement is the same as many other cars, but the OD on the Buick 41 is larger.

I would like to get new rings for my 37 Buick. I've found that very little Chevy stuff will fit the Buick.
