    I'm going to be ordering a ton of steering / suspension / weatherstripping for my '59 LeSabre. They seem to have the best overall pricing. How are they quality and service wise?

    Web orders can be slow at times, best to call and see if they have the items in stock.
    Service varies, sometimes good, sometimes not-so-good.
    They do offer many items that are difficult to find elsewhere.

    I agree with Walt. If you can order stuff through their ebay store, it is shipped very quickly. I usually email my orders straight to Jeff, or call them in if I can remember during the day.

    DON'T forget to ask if the items are in stock or else you could be waiting many months to get the order completed.
    Just a FYI.

    Thanks! I was planning on calling because their website is a mess. What about classicbuicks.com? Looks like I may be getting some odds and ends from them too.

    I used to order from Classic Buicks, and had no issues. Haven't ordered in several years, though.

    I ended up buying through both...most of it from oldbuickparts.com. Most items came very quickly. A couple were a week behind. They called me about one item that will not arrive for a few weeks. All in all Jeff has been great and all the parts are correct / seem to be good quality. There were a couple odds and ends that I got from ClassicBuicks. Communication was a little less clear and I was confused on some items due to no build of materials. The good news is that I have everything needed now to complete my restoration from a mechanical perspective. Not all I need is time.......
