where to buy spare parts for a 91er Buick Park Avenue ... ?

OP is looking for a Fender, English style :-))

Buick Park Avenues are automobiles in the US, not aircraft. ;)

Ok, ok, ok... NOW I know that it is "fender"... ;) But I am wondering a little bit: my dictionary says that the german word "Kotflügel" (which means fender) also could be translated with "wing". Is there maybe a difference between british english and american english? Or should I better ignore my dictionary?

==================== There is a vast difference between between English and American English. Also most europeans learn Enlish English:-)) Don't be concerned though, we all speak approximately the same language. I came to Canada in '64, and since then have been told daily I can't speak English. Oh well! I must admit a lot of the things I said in England were not correct. A lot of the things said in Canada are also not correct. Such as oot and aboot.(out and about) but I love Canadians, and surprisingly enough, all the Americans I have met speak very well. :-)) I have never met one I didn't like. (except in bussiness with GM :-)) )

There is about a 200 year difference between British 'English' and American 'English.' Hugh difference when one 'Knocks up' ones girlfriend, for example. Try EBay, WBMA

"Wing" appears to be correct from my point of view because in french, we call this "Aile" witch is the exact word for wing.

I was just curious, and since no one else has asked, how did you manage to get a US built 91 Park Ave. into Germany? Did you buy it new? Or used? Can't imagine there would be too many Buick dealers in Europe!

I suppose its like owning a non-north american car in north america and having to order parts from overseas, even simple things like thermostats, etc.

Perhaps if you were to do a simple Google web search for "Buick Parts" you would turn up something.

Thanks for your tip, Shane. Yes I bought it used. The pre-owner imported it from Florida thirteen years ago. The official german GM Dependance is "Opel" but the prices are way harsh. An exampel: a new fender costs about 750 Euro here, if I import it directly from the States I will pay 120 Dollar (plus
