I guess you could come up with a way to factor in shipping cost, sales tax if applicable, etc. Anyone asking higher than that, you're counting on some value from the existing seal & clips, or you may as well go to Bob's. My dads 1948 Buick had one - Rods on the Bluff - Friday night cruise - Riverview Ca. So if you'd go down the path of wanting a used ring, and figure that the seal and clips you'll want to buy from Bob's anyway (they may be adequate, but they're going to be dried up and/or rusty), the top value for a single, perfect ring is $22.25. Or they may just (pretend to) not know what they have - the seal fell out, the clips rusted & broke, so here's your ring. A seller may assume that the seal isn't included, or the clips aren't included, because in the catalogs, those are all separated out. So if going the "used part" route, there's actually 3 parts you want to consider when asking for a "headlight ring". This is agenuine GM part, not a reproduction. For the clips: $4.25 for 1 headlight's worth. This is correct for the following 1950 Buick all series. $45 each from Bob's right now, and that includes the rubber seal and seal retainer clips - I list these below so you can see the value there.īob's price for the seals: $18.50 each. They're also available in reproduction from Bob's and CARS, Inc, so get those catalogs so you have a "top end" for price. The Parts Place Chevrolet Truck Hood Ornament Emblem - GM 14000797 4.3 out of 5 stars 26. With this, you will find out that the headlight rings are common to several years (1949-1952 in this case). Hood ornaments (or car mascots as they are known in the UK) were especially popular in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s as a way of individualizing the car and representing an automakers vision of their cars. There's a little bit later edition that would be prime for '54 to '60 or so (ask me, I have one). I took several photos at the 1997 St Louis National meet (or 1998) of the pre war Buicks including several of the 'Flying Lady' BUT not necessarily of the cars the 'Flying Lady' was attached to. One of the guys on the forum recommended this:Īfter spending way too much on several "not quite right" books, I have found that this one is THE one for the early 50's, through about '54. There is a seller on the Buick Buy/Sell selling a described 35 Buick hood ornament. Do you have a set? If so how much? Thanks Needing the head light rings for a 52 buick super.
