Hi John, Yes that’s always the case...I took a break from shopping for a while. Thought I would just peek in and saw your ads. Always good to have a backup of hard to find parts. I’ll keep browsing and hope to buy from you in the future. -Frank

Hi John, Frank again! I have the same question about this carb as I did on “the one that got away”... Does the starter switch contain the cam? If so, and still available, I would like to purchase the carb. Thanks, Frank

Hi John, Thank you for responding. I see you have another AAV-16 posted for sale as Carb #2. I’ll respond to that post. Regards, Frank

Hello John, Does the starter switch contain the cam? If so, Can I please be next in line to purchase if Buicknutty decides not to? Thank, Frank

Thanks John! I located the photo of PS 273 across the street from the Packard Service Department, even if only the pumps appear at the far right. -Frank

I could not find a picture of the Packard Dealer, but did find the service garage. Could this picture pre-date it becoming Packard? then and now....

Yes correct there should be hyphens, so 97-02 through 97-20. John S. Thanks for the info! I’ll see what I can find.

These storefronts on Jamaica Ave are 9702 through 9720. I had to back down the street to get the correct angle for the “now” picture, and must be in front of a different address.

I see the mounting holes for the Packard sign are present in the “now” picture, so that means the Oldsmobile storefront is gone. -Frank

Hi Paul, I’ll see what I can find. Love this thread, great pics in here. Let’s keep em coming! Thes next pics are from another angle. See Pontiac on the corner. Looks like Packard is gone. Relocated? Oldsmobile is on the far right of the shot -Frank

O.k. Found another one...a Pontiac dealer on Jamaica Ave Woodhaven Queens. Then and now. I searched but cannot find the dealership name. It looks like a few dealers in a row. Pontiac, Mercury, Packard, Oldsmobile, Plymouth and can’t see the whole sign but I think Studebaker, all between 97th-98th streets. I’ll post some of them next. -Frank

I don’t post often, but just couldn’t resist ...this Buick dealership at 18230 Jamaica Ave. in Hollis Queens N.Y. Then and now. Anyone know the name? -Frank

Nice collections...I didn't see any like this, so I thought I'd share...my only keychain. I bought it to use but it's too nice! -Frank

Hello Everyone, I know it's a long shot, but...I'm looking for the hardware to install these. I've searched everywhere with no luck. See the picture of how it's attached (thanks to TG57Roadmaster!) Thanks, Frank

Thank you Straight Eight, I'll keep Joe in mind. TG, Thank You! Wow those pictures are fantastic and just what I needed to see. I understand these are a rare accessory, so the brackets are probably more-so. I hope I can figure this out!...maybe post a "wanted" ad? Stranger things have happened. That is one nice Buick by the way...love the colors. -Frank
