I need a left fender and grille for a 1988 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. Might I be lucky enough for someone here to have one?

 

Not sure if this grille is correct for your year, it belongs to a friend.

 

I have a NOS Grille and a used fender, but I prefer not to have to ship large items...... Where are you located?

 

I also have a decent used fender in the northern VA area.

 

@AzChevs, Judging from your photos, it looks like that might work! What year is it? I can ask my friend who loves olds in my year, and he'd know for sure if it's compatible.

@CRUZN 66, I'm in West Oakland, CA. What's NOS? What year is it? Got pics?

@joe_padavano, What year? Got pics?

 

All 1980-1990 Custom Cruiser front fenders are exactly the same. Mine came off a 1984. There may be some differences in trim attachment clips. I'll get photos this weekend, but cross country shipping may be prohibitive.

 

NOS = New Old Stock

You would be better off locating those parts closer to the west coast.. As Joe said, cross country shipping may be prohibitive for items as large as a fender.

 

At least there's no road salt out there to chew up scrap yard inventory

 

You would think so, but maybe vehicles of that period (the 80's) are worth more as scrap metal and have been crushed when scrap prices were high... But that also could apply to anywhere in the states....

 

This, unfortunately. Cash for Clunkers did a lot of them in, also. Doesn't help that the front fenders are unique to the wagons.

 

Let me know if it will work for you, I tried to search out the images for the correct year on google with no luck before posting the photos. No problem on shipping and I do take Paypal.

 

You're preaching to the choir. I've found exactly one yard with anything more than 10 years old in my vicinity.

 

This is because the yard owners want to maximize profits. If you have limited real estate, you want cars that have the most desirable parts, thus newer vehicles. Keep in mind that we're talking a body style that was last built over 25 years ago. Few are still on the roads, so the profit for a yard owner is not worth the real estate it would occupy.

 

I'm down, let's do it. How much? For both the fender and grille? And Paypal details?

 

All I have is the grille, no luck on a fender. Price on the grille is $125.00 plush shipping which can go with Fed Ex ground or Postal service.
