O.P.G Buick Parts Catalog

[Phil Genario]

I just got a copy of Original Parts Groups NEW(as in never done) 63-76 Riviera catalog in the mail, it may be worth calling and getting a copy since quite a few of the parts listed will fit our, b bodys,really a neat catalog with items ranging from trim to mechanical stuff,they even reproduced the Brake pedal pads,sans the disc brake logo ,but told theyre coming and i heard that they are possibly going to do a full size Catalog.They have come out with a few catologs dealing with big cads, and others no one has cared to focus on. This is one of the best and probably only full size catolog to date that deals with some stuff that we could use, they finally did it for the Rivies!So its a GOOD SIGN! OTHER then the Cars Catalog(my favorite folks!LOL),so its worth a copy and a look,there number is 1-800-243-8355

Hope you are not serious about CARS and the LOL actually meant something.

Their site is : http://www.opgi.com/product.asp?catmainid=9

They also have this page for the Buick Full-size catalog where you can choose the LeSabre and then a style option which also contains the Centurion ! :

Yeah kurtis,The laugh DID mean something,Dont get me started here!One thing i cant stand is attitude, something i dont tolerate! There personnel is snotty and unprofessional,and have the intellegence of the "Beverly Hillbillies"and that remarks a disservice to Jed, Granny and Jethro!I Even spoke to the owner Glenn Ceccine about his "PEOPLE" and hes as big a moron as they are!Over the years,like 20 i have ordered numerous stuff from them, theyre overpriced,and a couple of times i got duped!A nos side mirror that cost $75.00,that the chrome was peeled off(in the box),(A set of door Edge Guards with one missing in the paper envelope)BOTH times i was hassled about a return!The Mirror he was adamant about and wouldnt take it back, until i drove there and literally shoved it in his face!(I usually get my way !)In front of 3 customers after i showed THEM the parts he sells and wont take back!So its good that other places are selling the same general stuff they do, Half the generic"JUNK" they sell you can buy at Napa!So i learned from it and now if i buy something ,i deal with The Buick farm,or reputible repeat Ebay sellers,or i srounge through hemmings!Almost always i find what i need without B.S So the laugh means something, it should be a growl!

Would be in 100% agreement with that entire statement. Never could figure out how they stay in business.

I try to make it a point to talk to Jeff when I order from them. I've never had a real problem with their stuff. The only thing that bugged me was a power steering return hose for a 60 Buick was made from steel lined hydraulic line....looked nothing like stock, so I made my own at a hydrailic fitting/hose store locally.

OPGI site seems to be down, I can't "see" anything! Anyone else having this proble too?

[Joy Ehlers]

Do they have a website or something? Have you tried purchasing their Buick Parts (www.thepartsbin.com/guides/buick.html)? What is the means of their delivery. I'm just wondering if how much would be the cost of shipping and the cost of buying personally in the store. Thanks for the reply.

I've called OPG twice to get the full-size catalog. Both times they told me it was out of print. Ok, I'll just barely accept that excuse from a company that makes their money from catalog orders. Once. twice is just stupid. Now, after reading this thread, wjy should I even bother for the third and final time?

[Phil Genario]

Thats weird? maybe they stopped doing them(parts)How could something be out of print..do they have an online catolog ?I just found Repro sill plates for my 72 from Ames Performance 1800-421-2637. They specialize in Pontiacs. Part is the same. Many places i called said they were discontinued.. they were $35 each side and look exactly like originals. Some places were getting $100 a set.

[Smartin]

I wouldn't even worry about OPG as a parts vendor. You're better off finding whatever you need on the boards or at the known Buick vendors.

[Phil Genario]

Well all theyre doing is buying off suppliers anyway and a good amount of what they have comes from outside manufacturers.

[Redrob]

The OPG Full sized Buick catalog is not available at this time, with no estimate of availability. This is om their website and calling their 1-800 number.

I just got one of their catalogs in the mail which now seem to have been severely condensed and combined with Riv and Skylark stuff! They seem to have much less items then before, perhaps their wasnt a a demand for many of what they had and some of the items were very generic and you could find them by scouting ebay and other parts sources. .
