Bought my baby some new heels ? Cooper Cobras? Salutations from San Diego!

What??? Us young bucks need this site in order to learn the ropes, I just discovered this sanctuary! The Reatta's comeback is only beginning... Hope to see this resources for years to come and thanks for all that you do ??

Can't even begin to describe the amount of time I do reading and researching through your archives. To the folks like me this place is invaluable ????

What a wonderful site here, bought a 1990 convertible in driftwood from a friends widow in August, got it just in time, mice started on underdash and console wiring but its all back and driving now and just purchased a 90 coupe thats pretty nice, but very rusty underneath, ripped lower control arm off subframe so lots of good parts and a good drivetrain. Looking on this site is like a shortcut thru the service manual.

Soon you will be getting paid to drive your Reatta.

Great looking car man. I like the camera angle you had when you took the photo. It really highlights the wheels.

I'm glad to hear Jim was able to provide the door handle you need.

I appreciate your weighing in on this. However, two things: 1) I already heard from Jim Finn who had the part available and I confirmed his sale to me. If all goes well, I'll have the replacement installed within the next 10 days. 2) My Buick dealer advised that he had a door handle break on his Park Avenue. Said he replaced it with an aftermarket part and the aftermarket part broke within 6 months. Caveat is that aftermarket not as good as OEM. Rest assured, though, if Mr. Finn did not have the part, and I was against a "rock" and a hard place, I'd surely go for the Rock Auto part. The alternative is getting in the passenger side, leaning over the console and reaching for the inside door handle to open the drivers door. My wife usually got stuck for the latter, and she ain't too happy about that. Thanks again.

I may just be a weirdo, but I like the original tire size and rim style lol! But I do enjoy seeing all the different upgrades that folks do

Ronnie, I love this site and really hope we can keep it going. I don't post super often, mostly because I have a young family and so time for hobbies is somewhat limited at times. But I have learned so much from this site and the forum. I can't imagine not having it. As for the cost, I am more than willing to contribute. I have in the past, (actually I am probably due again). Out of curiosity how much does it cost to keep the site up and going? Either way I will definitely throw some in the hat in the very near future. I would be very sad to see ROJ go. That is for sure. Here's a pic of my reatta from a short roadtrip to brevard NC

Thank you Ron. I'm glad you find this site useful.

I just completed an email to Mr. Finn, and will advise of my success.

Contact Jim Finn reattas60@gmail.com. He should have the part you need. He is honest and has reasonable prices.

Other then the wheels I run on the 'Red and the 'vert I like the 16" wheels on the 2000vintage Buick Regal. They are chrome and look great.

What 2seater said...plus 1991 Reatta 16 inch factory wheels/center caps will fit no prob' and look good, too.

Sorry I can't help you with ideas for the preservation/resurrection of the originals. Many of us really dislike the original rims as too small, too narrow and poor backspacing so they appear tucked under. I am one of them. I respect your desire to preserve the originality, so with that in mind, set them aside for restoration and get some later full size GM wheels and tires for daily duty. There are a ton of styles out there for good prices. The 5x115mm bolt circle is on almost all of the Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac and some Cadillac full sized cars for more than two decades. Just a suggestion
