    Is there a list or book existing , where I can find out , which parts of my Buick Electra 225 Year 1960 401 V8 four door hardtop
    are compatible with the '60s Cadillacs parts ?
    If there is - where can I get it?
    Please let me know , because I'm far away in the black forest Germany.
    Thank you Oli Herby

    An old 'Hollanders interchange book' would be your best bet but they are hard to come by. Occasionally they show up on Ebay but can bring fairly decent prices though.
    Good luck on your mission.

    Great !!!

    First of all - thank you very much for mailing back so quick !!!
    I will look out for a Hollander , like you told me. Do I have to look for a special one? Or do you know anyone , who has one?
    It is kind of hard to get that things here in Germany.
    Also I'm looking for little parts for my car - so if you know any Buick Electra 225 '60 in your neighbourhood , please let me know.
    Now I wish you peaceful days between christmas and new year and of course a wonderful 2007.
    Where are you from ? I will travel with my girlfriend to Tacoma and Seattle next year , also I will go to NY next year.
    Let me know - take care - greetings from the black forest Germany -
    Herby

    A 60 Caddy looks nothing like a 60 Buick and the powertrains were different.

    Little or nothing will be compatible. Even the interiors were different. You might find an odd item like a knob, a door striker or something like that interchanges but I cannot image why you would be looking to a Caddy as a donor. You need to find another 60 Buick. What do you need?

    the parts

    Hi - I'm looking especially for the two backup lights and the two dome lights and both headlights ( also some chrome parts ) ahhh - and maybe a new starter. That is not much for now - but I can't find them anywhere and so these things are a big thing for me. thank you Herby
