The Strongsville Holiday Inn was the site of my very first Buick National - having lived 'just up the road' in Rocky River. Many miles and many Buicks later, I am looking so forward to returning to my old stomping grounds!

Way too funny. I had never heard that about Sky. That could open up the possibilities for buyers.

Pick up in Central Florida.

Vintage Pennsylvania 'Bicentennial' license plate. Perfect for a '53 Skylark. Good condition - but year stickers worn. $35 includes shipping.

Finally got some photos of the nailhead. And I didn't even break a fingernail! Could not move it as the cradle it sits in is not in great shape so I couldn't photograph the other side. If it is a '53 would it be a 322? Any guesstimate as to the value? I do want to sell it, so I hope there is interest somewhere. Thanks for everyone's help!

Hey RV- That's a great idea. Hopefully I can do that on Sunday. Getting the GN ready for NPD's big GM show ai Silver Springs on Saturday. Haven't had to detail anything for a long time!!!

Mike - Sure appreciate your response. The driver's side is up against the wall!!! Maybe this weekend I will try to put an the floor jack under the cradle it sits in and see if I can move it enough to get to the number. I'll post it here when (and if) I find it. And yes, I can get my fingers dirty - just as long as I don't break a nail1 LOL! Thanks!

Thanks to all for trying to help me ID this engine. I am having a really hard time trying to find numbers on this engine because: 1 - I can't move it because I weigh less than 20% of what it does, 2 - Scraping the dirt off is really an issue because I might break a fingernail, & 3 - Digging around in my garage in 4" high heels is really an issue. But seriously - I had listed the 1343840-4 number as the number on the HEAD, not on the engine block. I might know model numbers of Buicks, but I really don't know engine parts. Other numbers I found on other components include 1343872-1, 1342865-4, and a partial that looks like 13 388 that appears to be on the block. I do know it's a V-8. Previous occupants of my garage included a 1953 76C and a 1955 66C, so I am guessing that it may be a 322. Bottom like is I need as much help as I can get as I would like to off this engine (in addition to two others - 340 and 455) so I can have some $$$ to finish my GS Convertible Any thoughts as to what the nailhead may be worth? Again - thanks!

Have a nailhead in my garage that hasn't see daylight in quite a few years. I have no way to move it, and was hoping someone could give me direction as to how to identify it. What numbers should I look for and where to look. I did find #1343840-4 on one of the heads. The numbers on the block itself are hard to see. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Paula

Gone!
