    wheelz 'B' is for Buick.

    Lets say you are in Detroit in late 1965, you walked into a local Buick Woodward Avenue dealership PARTS DEPARTMENT looking for a particular part for your 65 Gran Sport. This COMPLETE BODY & PARTS MANUAL would be sitting on the counter and the Parts representative would flip open this manual to the correct 1965 page, you would see every part named, some illustrated, every corresponding part number, each Group number sequence identified and indexed into a detailed part description... you would point out what you wanted and badda bing, badda boom, the parts clerk would go get it for you.
    Those were the days, right?

    I've had this in my office storage bin for maybe a hunert years . . .(well, not quite, but definitely for a very long time.) I forgot I had it buried 5 bins deep, sealed in old files area.

    This COMPLETE parts and body panel manual is a MUST for all the younger restoration guys... OR for collectors who have that "GOTTA KNOW" stuff about every part our beloved Buicks were assembled with. (Duane perhaps??)
    Electra, Leslabur, Wildcat, Gran Sport, Riviera, "A" body wagon and Estate wagon, verts, folding and sliding tops, rear end ratios, paint codes, interior codes, trim pcs, glass, on & on & on.

    This baddboi is heavy, 4 inches thick and is absatively loaded with really really cool detailed information.

    This particular MASTER PARTS BOOK edition was carefully compiled to cover Service Parts Available on models up to 1973. New and/or "revised or superseded editions" were published Bi monthly and mailed to dealers across the nation to insert into this counter catalog.

    Kinda hate to sell it but, I havent opened it it prolly 30 years.

    This Catalog has GOTTABE worth $150 plus Media shipping.

    ..for some reason, there is a full equally detailed section in the back, covering the Chevrolet VEGA...?

    Get in line here first, then PM your zip and payment intention.
