I would like to get the correct trunk mat for my 66 Grande Parisienne. I assume it's the same as the one in my 66 Strato Chief, which I'm sure is the original. When Ken owned my Grande Parisienne he put in a repro mat but from what I can tell it's from a US Grand Prix. It's very different. So my question is, does...

The paint on my 65 skylark was oxidized and had dull patches. It was always stored inside and waxed periodically but it was looking old. So I had to Wash it several times to remove the wax. Then I went at it with the maguiars #7 show car glaze. I watched the video by Mike Phillips for instructions first. App...

I just purchased this little Buick from a pontiac buick dealers collection. It is an all original 32k mile car that was last registered in 81.

What is the correct trunk mat to use? Would it be from a 1964 Chevelle or a 1964 GTO? Or are they the same? Frank

I know lots of guys (including myself) enjoy this kind of stuff so I thought I'd post it here. I had occasion to be under a 40,000 original mile 67 Beaumont and noticed this. I assume it was done to let assembly line workers know the diff was filled with oil?

A different thread that a site member started about a Beaumont bronze interior has gotten badly derailed (and I am partly to blame!) so I thought it might be best to separate it. The discussion focused on the specific mats put in Canadian GM products, that they just have a GM logo and not each brand's spe...

In October Beaumontguru and I spent some time in a wrecking yard that has a lot of cars 70's and older. I saw these under the hood of I-can't-recall-what and had to grab them. I've never seen anything like them before. Anyone have experience with them? They say AN737 RM30 and 4/52 on them. Looking onli...

What's the best way to clean up these ground straps? They get so grungy looking. I assume Evapo-rust isn't the answer because they aren't really rusty.

I think this stuff has been talked about before here, so forgive me if this is a rerun. I finally bought some Evaporust a few weeks ago (it was on sale for $26/3.8l jug) and tried it. Wow!

Does anyone have experience with using some sort of dip to replenish the coating on these little guys? I recall 35 years ago when I was a volunteer fireman we refurbished a bunch of our tools/equipment that had a coating similar to this stuff on handles etc. One of the guys showed up with a pail of some so...

You purists will say "cool" and the rest of you will go "huh, what's the big deal?" I pulled these off a wrecked vehicle this morning, they're in premium shape still, came off like they were brand new. I had a couple before but after I clean these up I'll have enough to do both heater hoses on my car. I love...
