Hi,

I'm in desperate need of some items: Fender End Caps on both side, interior rear lamp cups, fuel tank fill cap door (you know what I mean?), the chrome thing on top of left side tail lamp bezel etc. Suggest other parts too.
Plz contact me here by private message or email: jussi308@gmail.com

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm not sure what you mean by your descriptions. It might be best if you posted some pics of your car and show the parts that you are looking for.

OK that's much better. Have you tried ebay? I found a taillight bezel right away:

Also, this guy is selling some dash parts for a 98 like yours. Maybe he has other parts as well.

The "caps" you mentioned are known as filler panels and they are a common issue with cars like yours and mine. There are companies reproducing some but I'm not sure about the '73 year. Do some homework on google, ebay, etc. I got a company in Florida to reproduce the rear fillers for the '75 and '76 Ninety Eights but I don't think they make sets for '73 yet. If you get enough of a demand for them, they probably would make them.

Thanks a lot . I surfed in the ebay.. I don't know why I didn't find those taillight bezels right away. I'll ask those sellers if they have also other parts that I'm missing.
I found one company that's producing these fillers but it seems that they're the same ones I have in the garage. I tried to mount them but I'm not happy about how they fit in. They are these:

Glad to help. As for the fillers, the company you posted the link for is not the company I deal with. I believe those are fiberglass and they are not a quality reproduction which makes them fit poorly. Below is the link for the company I deal with in Florida. They make a high quality (ABS plastic) part but again, for '75/'76 Ninety Eights. Even these parts took a long time to make because they were not making them prior to my contacting them. I rounded up a large number of Ninety Eight owners that all needed fillers and then spent a lot of time working with the manufacturer while they got the parts as close to perfect as possible. The end result is a very high quality part that can easily be mistaken for an original. If you call them, ask for Caitlyn and tell her John Capone referred you to her. Again, I don't believe they make your fillers but it's worth calling to see if it gets you anywhere.

Again thanks for the help I got from you. In Finland it's not so easy to get these special parts anywhere.

I'll ask the company you mentioned if it's possible to manufacture those fillers, and if not I'm gonna try to find another manufacturer or find NOS parts which can be very tricky task...

At least I bought the taillight bezel today so my Olds is going to be a beauty but it just takes some time Tomorrow it's cruising time.

Hi, give these guys a try. This is a well known yard in Arizona, US that specializes in classic cars. I was there back in '04 and was amazed at their inventory.
