    Steele is my choice particularly for the older Buicks. They seem to have most everything for them, too.

    Thank you all! I did a bit more research and compared Steele, Metro & another company Rubber the Right Way which came recommended. I am aware of the JUNK sold by OPGI and some of the others so I was careful to stay clear. I called all 3 companies...The people at Metro were clueless - I don't think they know what a Roadmaster is. The people at Steele were not much better and were a bit short / rude as if they were doing me a favor letting me purchase their parts. I called Rubber the Right Way a few times and they were very friendly & knew my car. They put together a list of everything they offered for my vehicle which really helped. They were transparent and let me know who made their parts, the pricing etc. It turns out they use many suppliers including Steele / Metro, and they discount the pricing so it really made sense to buy from them. They also made some parts themselves.

    I ended up going with Rubber the Right Way. Apples to apples they were by far the best price / value and a pleasure to work with. My order arrived yesterday and I am very pleased. The parts are all USA made and very high quality.
