Very nice to have you here! We can help you with a lot. Are you able to get Buick parts there in Europe? I am looking for a certain part for my car that I suspect may have to come from across the way.

A question that is very important. There are 2 park avenues.

The European spec:

The American spec: (mine by the way)

Which do you have? That is important when you look for tail lights.

I am trying to find the front corner lights with no amber in them.

Wikipedia wrote:The base Park Avenue was available in Europe from 1991 until 1996 and varied from the North American version by featuring a truncated taillamps with separate amber turn signal indicators and red brake lamps, wider numberplate bezel, fitment of rear red fog lamps, headlamps with different lense pattern, white front side running markers, amber front turn signal indicators, side turn signal repeaters, "flagpole" external rear-view mirrors (mirrors on US version are fixed and do not turn), stronger seat belt and anchors, "softer" air bags, metric speedometer and gauges. They are to comply with the European regulatory and safety standards.

As suprise i have become really big rust hole on right rear "wheel box" that make whole trunk with water when the car race on rain ... so why is this possible on 1992y old car i dont now - specially that the rest o car body is good enough and has no rust :dontknow:

It seems to me that Most Buick's and H-body's rust out in that right rear wheel well just like mine did. So don't feel bad my car is mint and I have a rusted out wheel well in the same place you do.
