Is no one making the repo consol lids for the gbody olds any more? I can't find them on the suppliers that used to. Thanks!

Not that I know of. These cars are getting so old that even the reproduction parts are getting discontinued. The point is, the things need to sell and keep selling to make a part worth keeping in stock. Since nobody bought a lot of these lately, I assume, then apparently even the aftermarket vendors aren't carrying them anymore. Also possible it was just a limited run of say, 1,000 units and that was it. I've seen that happen before as well.

Funny they make the repro button and bottom plate, but not the lid anymore. Who really needs those as much as they do the lid part?

About 5 years ago I did a repro/NOS comparison look at one of the repro lids. If you find one, they're worth buying. The only drawback anyone's really had with them is they tend to come to you and stay warped a little. Not horribly so, but if you look at it long enough, you'll see it.

So I should have ordered one a couple of years ago, lol. I'll have to paint mine instead I guess. Thanks!

Shoot Brian Weaver a message as he has been planning a lot of Oldsmobile stuff
So has a lot of people. Problem is, nobody's doing much as far as quality replacement. Most of what becomes available is ill-fitting, hot garbage.
