    I bought my 90 Buick Estate wagon last November. After resolving electrical problems. I have been working to get her ready for this years cruising. Last Thursday I got my new wheels & tires mounted. I was going to get estimates on repairs I could not do. Well some blind or distracted driver hit my Wagon when he crossed center-line. I need front clip & or fenders, Bumper, Grill & all related parts to get her back to original condition. Buick with new Ridler wheels.jpg AAA towing of Buick after crash.jpg

    Bastard, the driver is. Welcome to the board, you still have a nice wagon. Hopefully you can find the pieces you need.

    OMG so sorry for the damage. That really must have hurt. You have a sweet wagon there. When you get a chance post in the General Wagon Discussion a lot of the guys are there, not everyone visits the Welcome Wagon. Good luck and Welcome aboard.

    Dang it!!! You get anything from insurance? I hope the frame is ok. Start combing you local yards I guess? Hey it’s a good excuse for a new paint job! Welcome aboard! Keep us posted on your road to recovery

    I am waiting for claim adjuster to come Monday to see Hagerty is going to do. I have been looking at close by recycling yards. Nothing. Had a Not English speaking man called me with $4000 price for front clip plus shipping? All he wanted is my credit card information. I got my fingers crossed to find minimal rust front fenders, Grill Bumper etc. I was out looking at my Wagon yesterday. I loosened the mounting bolts for fender & liner. It popped back to un stressed location. Anybody with parts? Please contact me. Todd

    I found a Olds Custom Cruiser on here. Plus a Buick on Ebay with less than 4k. No left fender. I saw a 2 door Plymouth like your wagon today out cruising. Lots of old cars out.

    The bright side is it’s just the front. That stuff outta be easier to find than wagon parts. I feel like I see one of these Buick every time I visit the yard. And most are that light silvery blue color. I’ll keep my peepers peeled

    Sounds like you have some options.


    Really? That's cool. Not many of them around.

    Yeah, I get calls from those guys too. I got a front clip minus fenders and hood for $50 at yard and that’s with a $5 or $10 core charge if I bring the old bumper. Some guys offered me $100 as I was carrying the bumper out. Turns out they were demolition derby guys from up north who come down to Dixie for parts that weren’t so rusty. I politely told them that I despise their craft and explained that they could go have carnal relations with themselves before I let them trash another mercury
