Hi, I am restoring my 1950 Buick Roadmaster model 72. Unfortunately the center exhaust manifold is badly broken that I can not fix it. Does anybody know where I can find a new or used one? I have already checked Bobs Automobilia and oldbuickparts.com. Maybe a center exhaust manifold from another year will also fix my 1950 Roadmaster. Thanks for any help! Bernard.

I think anything from a 320 from '39-'51 will fit. Bob's list a new one in their catalog, but maybe they don't have them anymore:
