You are correct. The springs drop into the holes on the throttle and advance/retard levers and the stoppers sit on top. When assembled the springs pushing on the stoppers supply friction against the hub base and keeps the levers at the desired position. In the case of the throttle an early cruise control ( if your game!! ).

No. There is no filter inside, just has vanes to circulate/spin the air and the theory is large particles will be thrown to the sides and out the small vent in the base. You should soak it in kero every so often and blow out with air.

You can tell it's raining here - plenty of time to fiddle with the computer. This old thread would seem to tell us your hubcap is for 1932 because of the double vertical bar on the B. I would think it would be easier to locate a full set of 1930 wooden wheel caps than several 1932 caps.

Well now I'm confused. With the two photos together I see the "B'' is different. This link may help especially the last couple of entries.

When you say you have larger ones are they the same design as this? There is a size difference between the Series 40 and larger series in 1930. Can you measure the thread diameter to compare with file photos I have, I'm fairly sure you have a 40 Series cap.

Purchased this VANE ( 1960/70's ) engine analyser a few years ago. Works good and is helpful when tuning older cars. y

Even with added 5% buyers premium still a pretty good buy.

If it sells for the HIGH estimate someone will get a real bargain. SHANNONS have put a link to our Western Buicks site and the article I wrote years ago about it's purchase and restoration and your help is mentioned in that Rooster.

Thought that myself.

Being sold as part of a deceased estate. https://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/2022-shannons-autumn-timed-online-auction/D15CAF75KIX81GRG/ Still looks good and if it sells in the estimate range will be a bargain for someone. I'm surprised at SHANNONS lack of knowledge about Buicks. Some interesting comments in the vehicle report i.e. under electrical they note the clock isn't working. If they opened the glove box they would have seen the clock is mechanical and requires winding every week or so!

I thought this was just linoleum in the local GM dealers waiting area ( circa 1930 ) but looking closer it could well be a persian rug. I'm thinking it may be the go Lamar, especially with some wicker furniture, potted palms and a couple of pith helmets!

Have you tried old tanks suggestion yet?

I know Scott got 1930 parts from someone in Canberra.

Paul - I can't believe you cannot source these on the east coast ( of Australia ). Your originals are probably restorable. Suggest you contact Scott BARKER from the West Australian Buick Club as I know he refurbished his originals and also got a lot of parts from fellow members in the East.

1936 60 Series wheel is 15", one year, one model only.

Some time ago at a swap meet I purchased the below tool kit. It was missing 7 or 8 of the tools but surprisingly the remaining were in impressive condition. After research I am satisfied the kit is manufactured by Vlcheck and I have purchased the missing open end spanners ( but they have the Vlchech logo ) Dating by the Zipper pull tab puts the kit around the 1920's with some individual tools being used in the teens and others still used in kits much later. The kit itself is leather and considering it's 100 years old is also in great condition. I know one of the remaining missing tools are pliers. Anyone able to tell me what would be correct to complete it?

When open the bottom edge of the rear seat sits against a cross timber between the main sills. There are no stops as such just the complete bottom sill of the trunk lid resting against the full length of a wooden crossmember.

The car for sale in the Netherlands has an Australian built Holden body which are a little different to the Flint USA version. This one which is Flint built RHD for export was sold in the UK last year. I'm not sure of the sale price. You will notice the different side molding and the golf door is on the opposite side ( drivers side ). You may recognise the car it is parked next to in the second photo.

? What aren't we being told Mr Earl!!

I have one of these but some other 36 Buick owner should grab this. The asking price on them is usually much higher than the buy it now price on this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/194704573481?hash=item2d554c0429:g:rUIAAOSwAa9h1SlF
