Parts for a 1965 Cadillac de Ville

[Roger Zimmermann]

It's a surprise to me that parts for a '65 de Ville are not easy to find, despite a large production number.

A German customer has a list of parts he would like to have to complete his 1965 de Ville:

Fillers for the lower radiator grille, Gr. 1.266, #1483112 & 1483113
Both turn indicator lamps on fender: Gr. 2.580, #910779 & 910780
2 Headlight housings, Gr. 2.726, #5956379
4 Nuts, headlamp mounting, Gr. 2.729, #1355003
Shift lever knob, Gr. 4.006 black, white or red
Hood front molding, Gr. 8.015, #3632626 (kit)
Rear lid molding, Gr. 12.182, #3632650

For most viewers, the addition of the group and part numbers is not making a lot of sense...

What do you have?

[Roger Zimmermann]

Not a lot of answers...Maybe because I forgot to mention that the owner don't need NOS parts, just good used ones. The part numbers are here just as a reference.

Hi Roger,
I am away for about a week, so I didn't answer because I couldn't help right away, but I do have some of the parts on your list. I have the rear deck lid molding and hood lip molding for sure. Some of your other parts are going to be harder to find, and since I am not home I haven't had the ability to look up the groups numbers you list. If you want to email me with some pictures it may speed the process up a bit.
Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael
Thanks for the reply. It will be hard to send you pictures when the parts are missing, for example the turn indicator lamps on the fender's top!
Look what you have; the owner would in any case have pictures from the offered parts (maybe he bought some which were not usable...)
If I do recall well, your vehicle's "park" is in the US and you are located in Canada.
