You are limited in your choice: the 71-76 Electra 4dr HT have the same windshields (the ONLY other choice you have is 71-76 Olds 98 4dr HT). [FONT=&quot]For a 2dr (71-76)Electra there are more choices:

Thanks for the photos. I'm in the final stage now (is a car ever finished?) for my 68 Wildcat sports coupe after a repaint. From experience: it is not the most easy year/model to get parts for :jeez:

Wasn't that 1970? And dealers could add an overflow to a 68 and 69 using a 70 over flow tank.... must have a scan somewhere... EDIT:

After the BPG Nationals we drove to southern IL and from there we now are following the Mother road.... Now in south-west MO and already had a great trip so far... lots to see and experience; The Buick drives very smooth... no sign of overheating in city traffic even at today's 102F temperature.

good story... reminds me of taking my 73 Buick long drink glass away from the route between my computer and the window :bgrin:

Sure about 1976, but at that time the tri-shield was in same color as mat (since 1974?)

For which model / year?
