    The '62 LeSabre used part no 4753019 Lock, rear compartment lid. Usage on other Buicks (except wagons or power trunk release) was:

    '59-62 All
    '63-64 Special, Skylark, Riviera
    '65-70 All
    '71-72 Skylark, GS

    The '63-64 LeSabre/Wildcat/Electra 225 used a different part no. So if the seller's part came from a '62 or '65-70 Wildcat, it will fit the '62 LeSabre.

    Many other '59-72 GM cars used the 4753019. Found lots of availability in used/NOS/reproduction on the Net.

    thank you Todd! really. i bought the part. not perfect but for a Hundie what can you expect. i've seen perfect NOS go for over $400. well, at least that's what he asked. i doubt he got it but who knows.

    can i ask you about the standard antenna? where can i get one for this car if you know? and also if you know anything at all about the ash trays, and brackets that keep them from falling down.
