Kanter is going to replace the carpet and make it right. Very good company to deal with.
Can anyone tell me where to get the black plastic that wraps around the front seat of a 1050 Buick Special? Do they sell them after market? Mine are cracked and worn and I'd like to replace them

Just saw an ad on Craigslist for a rechromed front and rear bumper off a 1950 Roadmaster, anyone know if these will fit a 1950 Buick Special?
Anyone have any experiences good or bad with I believe they're called a Fulton Sun Visor? Saw a couple in some pictures and they look pretty slick. I've also read about some problems if you're going...
