1961 Buick Hood Interchange

**USMC4LIFE** · 07-01-2013, 10:47 AM

I have a 61 LeSabre 4-Door Hard Top. What other models of the 1961 Buick have a hood that will interchange with LeSabre? I am currently looking for one, so if any of my Buick brother know where one is at, please let me know. Thanks for reading.

I have an interchange manual at home. When I get out of work and get home I will check for you.

In the Hollander interchange manual it lists all the full size Buick's as having the same hood in '61. If it is true, than hoods from the Invicta, Electra, Wildcat and Lesabre should all interchange. The book listed a different hood for the '62 model lines, I don't know where the difference lies.

Thanks for the help. Does your manual also have what hood hinges interchange?

While your in the Hollanders, see what fan shrouds will fit a 1962 Electra.

Sorry guys, the manual doesn't cover every part for the cars. Neither the hood hinges or fan shrouds are listed in the book.

same as the hoods, the hood hinges from the Electra, LeSabre and Invicta will work (no Wildcat in 61). The 62 hinges are slightly different, not sure if they will work or not, but would not be correct.
