MY BEST EBAY PURCHASE EVER!!! Earlier when I first join I posted a thread and asked what color should my soft top should be. Everyone who replied was very helpful. Even to go as far as to scan their own trim book to show me a sample. I want to THANK everyone for their great help. After posting that thread I thought about checking ebay for any trim books. And low and behold a gentleman by the name of Greg had acquired this trim book from his Grand Father who owned a dealership in the 1970s. This book has all the codes for ordering your favourite Buick. Skylark - Skylark350 - SkylarkCustom & GS Sportswagon LeSabre & LeSabre Custon Estate Wagon Centurion Electra 225 & Electra 225 Custom Riviera Wheel options for all the models - (cool pictures) Consoles (pictures) Exterior Moulding Options Steering Wheels - (pictures) Expanded Vinyl Section Sun Roof Section Vinyl Top Section Then another booklet called; 1972 Buick Exterior Color & Top Selector Inside it has all the Vinyl top Color Samples, Covertible Top Color Samples, Exterior Color Samples and what models the colors were available. Only certain models had colors available. Very cool section!! The last page has; Buick Interior Color Coordination. Buick Exterior Color Combinations. Riviera Vinyl Top Combinations. If anyone one needs help decoding any 1972 sales codes. Please contact me and I would be more than happy to help. Thank you for your time. Bert P.S. I almost forgot. A whole section on the Buick Opel Interiors & Fabrics.
Those Color & Trim Albums are really nice to read... and becoming more and more expensive (last week a 71 T&C album was sold for $129 on Ebay). Got a 74, a 75 and a 76 T&C album. (the 76 album without any photos.... :ball: )
I also have the 72 Big book and the 72 salesman handbook. The handbook is a condensed version of the bigger book less the pictures. The 70 Trim book it the most desirable and one sold on ebay yesterday for 150$. Dustin.
sickness I find the literature end can be as addictive as the car end - Everytime I get a new car I go crazt trying to build a literature collection for it's year. My 67 literature & related "stuff" collection resdies in and fills a fireproof 4 drawer file cabinet. :Brow: Just when you think there is nothing else to get, some Corporate memo or showroom decoration shows up and it's back to buying.
Ebay and Paypal are killing me... ; maybe purchase this one... http://cgi.ebay.com/1975-Buick-Rivi...7181273507QQcategoryZ1315QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Only $9.99....... shipping another $10 orso
Dealer Colour and Trim Manuals While this is not the appropriate place to post, the topic suited the situation, and may help out fellow Buick enthusiasts. o No: I have a complete '69 that's up for grabs (make me an offer), - it didn't sell on evilBay with a reserve. :ball: I'm looking for a complete '68 C&T in good condition, since my car is a '68. I have the '68 Buick Features binder (salesman version). :TU: If anyone is interested in a trade please PM me, maybe we can work something out ! :beer
Those with the most stuff and the end - WINS!! I was the only bidder on this book and only paid $60 US. Was willing to bid higher. And yes MY3BUICKS. I have parts books for looking up my own part numbers. Service manuals, GS Facts and Figures, magazine ads, brochures and much more. I only had to collect for my '72. Then I bought two 1970 Rivs and it started all over again.
Keith,what does the `67 color and trim book look like i`m in search of one and i just want to see what i`m looking for? Thanks
Here you go! Here you go George!! If you don;t have the 1967 Buick Selling Manual, that is one you need to pick up also.
ebay George, they show up fairly often on ebay - this would be your cheapest bet - some of the Literature places will have them but $$$ If you need something ASAP let me know and I can copy it for you.
Besides ebay do you know anyone personally who might have them to sell even if its a literature place? Thanks
