Reason I ask is because I bought my 52 buick with out a bumper nor a grill . I'm a Kustom guy so like some guys , already figured swapping it or installing something that looks better and probably cheaper than looking for buick parts Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Are you asking if 51 parts will fit? Or looking for a custom look? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Im thinking 51 52 olds shell 53 chevy grill bar with extra teeth and chevy bumper Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Dislike the shape of both the bumper and grill , if people didn't ask a fortune for a grill or bumper I would consider it. I found one local the guy wanted $700 for the grill and 450 got the bumper with brackets ... I'll pass Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
To go custom you need to define your build era. I agree that a Buick grill is A BUICK GRILL. If u go custom you could perhaps go to a 50 to 53 Cad. 57 would look goofy and wrong era. Nothing beats a smooth Buick grill. go custom somewhere else on the car. Dont mess with the face.
I'm using a54 olds rear bumper, from your area, try death valley auto....I'm getting a quarter panel and mustache bar from them.
Well this car was a bad deal over all , I already have a 51 Chevy I am building from the ground up so I shouldn't have bought the Buick in the first place . But since it's in my garage and I have everything to get it running , I'm going to build it. I got a 50 pontiac front bumper for free do I'm going to run it with a floating bar most likely Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
See there? Not such a bad deal, after all! Here's a '50 Sam built. one of my favorites (and without the Buick grille!)
