Genuine NOS/OEM

The Gold Standard: NOS Genuine Ford, Autolite & Motorcraft Parts

For a concours-correct restoration, "close enough" doesn't cut it. You need the real deal. At Old Car Parts NW, we curate a specific inventory of NOS (New Old Stock) parts that were manufactured by Ford and its original suppliers decades ago.

These aren't modern reproductions in plain white boxes; these are the original factory components that offer perfect fitment, superior plating, and the authentic appearance required for points-judged show cars.

Know Your Eras: FoMoCo vs. Autolite vs. Motorcraft

To help you find the correct part for your year, we stock all three major generations of genuine Ford packaging:

• FoMoCo (1940s-1960s): The holy grail for early restorations. Packaged in the iconic red-and-white or early text-style boxes. Essential for restoring 1950s F-Series trucks, Thunderbirds, and Galaxie 500s.

• Autolite (1960s-1972): In the muscle car era, Ford branded many ignition and electrical parts as Autolite. If you are restoring a 1965-1971 Mustang, Cougar, or Fairlane, an Autolite voltage regulator or spark plug wire set is the only way to look factory-correct.

• Motorcraft (1972-Present): In 1972, Ford transitioned to the famous "Motorcraft" brand. We stock original 1970s and 80s "Red & Black" box Motorcraft parts that are far superior in quality to the current outsourced versions found at dealerships today.

Why Buy NOS?

• No "Sort-Of" Fitment: Factory parts were engineered to fit your production line tolerances perfectly.

• Superior Materials: Vintage electrical parts often used heavier copper windings and better contacts than modern lightweight replacements.

• Investment Value: Authentic "Blue Box" or Autolite parts hold their value and increase the pedigree of your vehicle.

The GM Gold Standard: NOS Delco-Remy, Guide & Packard Electric

If you are restoring a Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick, or Cadillac to concours standards, you know that "functional" isn't enough. You need Genuine NOS (New Old Stock) parts that feature the correct factory stampings, date codes, and plating finishes.

At Old Car Parts NW, we have secured a collection of rare, original GM factory parts from the golden era of production. These are the components your car was born with—not the "consolidated" universal replacements sold at parts stores today.

Know Your GM Divisions

We verify the provenance of our parts to ensure they match your build sheet:

• Delco-Remy: The electrical backbone of GM. We stock NOS voltage regulators (Delcotron), starter solenoids, distributor caps, and ignition coils often found in the original "United Delco" Red & Blue boxes.

• Guide (Guide Lamp Division): The original supplier for GM lighting. Look for our NOS headlight switches, turn signal switches, and lenses featuring the authentic "Guide" script casting.

• Packard Electric: The industry standard for wiring. We carry original ignition wire sets and connectors that feature the correct date-coded insulation.

• AC (Albert Champion): Before they became ACDelco, "AC" was the performance standard for fuel pumps, oil filters, and spark plugs.

Why Buy NOS?

• Correct Finishes: Modern replacements often use cheap zinc plating where the factory used cadmium or black oxide. NOS parts maintain the authentic look.

• "Hyphenated" History: For serious collectors, packaging matters. We stock parts from the United Delco (pre-1974) and AC-Delco (1974-1995) eras, preserving the history of your vehicle.

The Power Behind the Accessories: NOS Delco Appliance Motors

While Delco-Remy is famous for starting your engine, the Delco Appliance Division (based in Rochester, NY) was responsible for the creature comforts inside the cabin. From the 1930s through the 1970s, Delco Appliance manufactured the robust, small electric motors that powered heaters, defrosters, windshield wipers, and power seats for General Motors.

At Old Car Parts NW, we stock rare NOS (New Old Stock) and NORS motors from this legendary division.

Why "Delco Appliance" Matters

• Rochester Provenance: Serious GM collectors look for the specific "Delco Appliance - Rochester NY" tag on the motor housing. These are the authentic units required for a 100-point restoration.

• 6-Volt & 12-Volt: Finding a working 6-volt heater motor for a 1940s Chevy or Buick is nearly impossible at a standard parts store. We carry these hard-to-find voltages.

• Specific Mounting: Unlike generic "universal" motors that require hacking up your firewall or heater box, these NOS units feature the correct shaft lengths, mounting studs, and connectors for Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick, and Cadillac.

Our Inventory Includes:

• Heater & Defroster Motors: Restore powerful airflow to your cabin.

• Windshield Wiper Motors: Replace sluggish or dead vacuum/electric wiper units.

• Power Accessory Motors: Hard-to-find motors for power windows, seats, and convertible tops.

Factory Engineered: Genuine NOS Buick Parts

Restoring a Buick requires more than just "GM" parts—it requires components engineered specifically for the unique luxury and performance standards of Flint, Michigan. Unlike Chevrolet or Pontiac, Buick often used unique engineering designs (like the torque-tube drive and specific electrical connectors) that universal replacements simply don't fit.

At Old Car Parts NW, we specialize in authentic NOS (New Old Stock) items for the discerning Buick restorer. These are the original "Factory Engineered" parts found in the dealer parts bins of the 1940s through the 1980s.

The "Group Number" Difference

Serious Buick collectors know that accuracy matters. We catalog many of our parts by their original Group Number (e.g., Group 0.000 for Engine, Group 2.000 for Electrical) to ensure you get the exact part for your build sheet.

• Engine & Drivetrain: Hard-to-find mechanical parts for Straight-8 "Fireball", Nailhead (401/425), and Big Block 455 engines.

• Interior & Body: Rare NOS switches, emblems, and lenses that feature the correct chrome finish and script—details that cheap reproductions always get wrong.

• Suspension: Factory-correct knee-action shocks and heavy-duty suspension parts designed for that famous "Buick Ride."

Our Inventory Covers:

• The Chrome Era: Roadmaster, Super, and Special (1940s-50s).

• Muscle & Performance: GS, GSX, Grand National, and Riviera (1960s-80s).

• Luxury Cruisers: Electra 225 ("Deuce and a Quarter"), LeSabre, and Wildcat.
