drivearolls,
Try posting photos and wheel base measurements so we have something to go on.....

I am wondering if you can possibly help me. I found a car in my tree grove this year and my husband wants to send it to the junk yard. I really am not sure what it is but it looks like someone could probably make good use out of this antique I would hate to just throw it away. Could you look at some pics and tell me what u think and if someone would be interested in it? Here is some info off the car

Fisher Body Corp

Abby, replied to you in the other topic area, but will do so here also.

Do not let your hubby get too quick to call the tow truck for the junk yard. You have a 1926 model 27. I have attached a picture from a quick Google search. Post a couple of pictures and we can tell you its approximate value for parts or a complete car.

We await more information/pictures. John

Am I missing something? I've been away for a couple of months and upon returning to the Pre War Buicks it has a new look. Is there a way to overview the posts and then open the ones that interest me? The way I see it now I have to scroll thru all the posts or view a Windows type drop down.
Any help would be appreciated.

New software changed things a bit....

I am new, with a mostly unmolested 1937 47. All but two others (Model A & AA) of my projects are foreign (all English plus 2 SAABs), so I have much to learn about Buicks. I have the shop manual but it is woefully bare of such useful information as how to remove the hood! Is there a more comprehensive manual? I have seen a reference to a 1928-42 master chassis parts manual, but at roughly $100 I didn't want to buy it if it was not fairly thorough. Any pointers would be most appreciated!

Addendum to my last post: According to an entry on my page, which said "Welcome, Jeffrey17" "You last visited: December 31st, 1969 at 23:00." If any of you have been wondering where I have been for the past 40 years, this statistic is NOT about me. Indeed, as a relatively longtime user of tools computational (since 1972) I am quite sure this forum did not exist in 1969! Seriously, I am indeed new here, so pls treat this newbie, although old in years, with compassion.

Jeffery17, I cannot speak specifically about the 1937 Shop Manual, but my '36 Shop Manual certainly describes the hood removal process. Are you sure you didn't over look it? The '28-42 manuals you are seeing are for identification of component parts and corresponding Buick part numbers only. No maintenance instructions. Newbies are welcomed with open arms! In my opinion we are all newbies on some level with different Buick years and models.

Jeffery 17,
I have sent you a PM about the hood removal. If what I sent doens't meet your needs I suggest you make a seperate individual new subject post in the Buick pre-war forum with a subject line like "37 hood removal question" It should get more hits and responses that way than under this general post about the pre-war division. But I hope what I sent will help.
