If my body holds together my wife and I will be bringing a large number (Suburban load full) of 1939 Buick small to medium-size mostly NOS, some used 1939 parts, a number of 1941 Buick parts, a few 1964 Buick Wildcat parts, and a very few 1971 Riviera parts. Many of these parts fit 1936-1953 Buick as well. C4V23-24. Earl Beauchamp. Have a pair of 1939-40 Buick factory skirts (will fit many 1939-1940 cars like all GM, 1939-40 Ford, 41-47 Packard, 40 Chrysler prods and so on; and a new pair of 1964 Buick LeSabre/Wildcat skirts. A dozen or so used Buick wheel covers, 1960s, plus one 1956, cheap.

I'm bring a batch of NOS 1939 Buick parts with some used; also a few NOS 1941 Buick parts with a few excellent used; plus a few 1964 Buick Wildcat parts and finally a very few nos and used 1971 Riviera parts. C4V23-24.

I have a gallon of unused black lacquer I bought from another collector when I was thinking of touching up my car. Instead, I repainted the whole car in basecoat/clearcoat. Have no idea if it is 9300 though. I don't think anything is marked on the can, but I am willing to go look. I always thought black lacquer was black lacquer.

DUH, HE DIDN'T GET THE HITCH LOAD BARS OR NO-SWAY BAR, BUT HE DID GET THE BALLS ON THE TRAILER FOR THOSE. I THINK SOMEBODY COULD GUY THOSE PIECES AT A TRAILER SHOP.

No, a guy in Arkansas, retired sheet metal guy, copied an original and offered them for sale in the club's Buick magazine. I knew about them, but had never seen or found one; just a picture copied from a dealer's parts update book. I'm not sure the fellow hasn't retired again though. Check with Buick Club of America editor, Pete Phillips.

Roger is correct....gray all over.

See you there. Norm Hutton is ferrying my '39 Special sedan to and from the Tour for me. Don Barlup is housing it for a few days until I pick it up in PA. Don't know how you can afford gas to tow that big Roadmaster. We are in an awful situation. I put an electric fuel pump (with an on/off toggle switch) on all of my cars so I can run ethanol if I have to. That crap will vapor lock on hot days. I also installed a radiator shroud on the '39 and boy did that help with the cooling. Wrapped the steel lines with foam wrapping designed to keep home water heats from freezing in winter up north. Heading out for a one week trip to Virginia around 10-10:30 AM today. Earl

I have many 1939 Buick NOS parts boxed (in 12 boxes) to take to Hershey if I can make it. There are also some 1941 and 1964 Wildcat parts in those boxes. One or two 1971 Buick parts left also. Sold a number of 1971 Buick Riviera parts yesterday. suzybelle39baby@aol.com.

Mr. Lindsey, I did reply with an email to your Gmail address. Earl B

No, they are smooth.

I have a rear window for pickup and also a dash pad that was crack-free when I put it in the rafters of my garage, but it's really hot in Florida.

I have a complete set, except one or two issues all the way back to 1962 and a very few that are black & white that are older.

I have a good used 1969 Buick Electra tilt wheel steering column for sale......$75 plus shipping. Also a set of used 69 Electra hubcaps, $38 plus shipping Earl Beauchamp, Sebring, FL

This is just to let you all know that I'm slowly going through my bins that hold my FIFTY year collection of NOS trim and mechanical small parts for 1939 Buick Specials as I begin easing toward very old age. I'm "only" 83 now and this will be my last Hershey sell-off I'm pretty sure. Much to most of this stuff is mechanical and fits Series 40, but some spills over to Series 60 and a few pieces will also fit 80-90 cars, but not many, just some of the small trim pieces. Some of the items are also good used, like a 41 60-70-9 Y-Pipe. There is also a smattering of 1941 trim parts left over from last year. Finally some of these pieces also fit through 1955, if they also fit 1939 40 or 1941 70. At one time I had three 1939 Buick Specials, a 41, a 41C and a 46C. a few pieces go back to 1937 also. I hope to bring v.good used rear bumpers for a 41 50-70 and a 41 40-60-90 (this one replated poorly), as well as a new 41-49 reproduction gastank and a good high-speed 41 rear end carrier complete, proven to be good (3.23 for 40-50-60-70). These last items are available through shipping before Hershey. Also found a few pieces for a 64 Buick Wildcat and a 69 Electra and a 71 Riviera today. Will also have some books and showroom pamphlets for the later models. After Hershey I'll still have at least one each of all of the items I'm selling, as well as a full set of used fenders, nose, hood, trunklid and soforth, as I plan to keep my 39 Buick 41 until I die or almost. So look for those in 17 more years 😄 Earl Beauchamp, Sebring, Florida

I'm very sorry to hear that West. I corresponded with Dave Brownell to publish articles for me in both Cars & Parts (The First Roundy Round) and in Old Cars (a number of articles) when he was there. Earl Beauchamp

No, the rear. Had snaps on the inside that held it to the pull-down license plate over the gastank filler.

Wayne: Gonna be up there in God's Country part of two days end of May. We're driving up to Tappahannock the third day, then to Baltimore to see my daughter, go down to Arlington with her to see our new grave stone (planning ahead you know), put flowers on mine and Judy's (Fairfax) graves, and then the next day back to Tappahannock to get ready to blast off back to Florida. Not staying on the Neck long this time. Might visit Jimmy & Joyce Davis one of the evenings since they're the only Neckers who come down to see us anymore. Sold my trailer and using the money to pay for having the '39 transported to the Sentimental Tour in Gettysburg and back to Florida after the tour. Probably our last Sentimental Tour unless I ride with somebody else in two more years. Earl

Mr. Franklin: How do you even deal with doctors? They won't call you, only text. I hate text, coming or going.

This is Past President Earl Beauchamp writing. People bringing up my 16 year old post, Wow! Some things live on forever. Today I couldn't get my Verizon bill on line because I goofed up my password a couple of times, nothing changes. I print the "Speedster" at my expense because it is difficult for me to read it on line........simply my problem. The people next door have all sorts of problems because they refuse to get a computer. I wonder how many more older people are like them? I hate all of the new cars full of electronic gadgets I don't need or want, but they are there, along with their hard seats built for younger people. I did progress to a "smart phone" but I still can't do more with it than I did will the flip top, except read a few text messages. It's hard as hell for me to type a text message....fat fingers I guess. I do read a few emails, but more often I get up and read them on the computer and use the phone just to know they are there. Apps, too complicated for me at 83 and I don't need any of them yet. After all there is nothing on TV now except the same news 5-6 times a day. Everything keeps moving away from you as you get older, so you just have to keep running after thiings as long as you can. So far I'm only about ten steps behind. But I am down to just one of my beloved '39 Buicks and two modern Buicks. In Florida, old people need A/C. Sold my old trailer last week and plan to use the money to transport my '39 to what will probably be our last Sentimental Tour (up in Gettysburg, PA). Been culling out multiple extra '39 Buick parts and after this coming Hershey flea market we plan to sell the 2007 Suburban too. At least "I ain't dead yet" as that old saying goes. 😁 Earl Beauchamp "

I know a lot of people who wen to the National in Puerto Rico, held yesterday. Anybody heard how it went, quality of cars and how many? Just interested.

It's early alsancle. I sold it WITHOUT the hitch and stuff.
