  1. Car pictured is a 40 Roadmaster. Model 71C. Totally different body and running gear vs a Special.
  2. I was very saddened to.learn of Earl's passing. He was very fond of Lassen Green 39 Buicks as he restored a Model 46C with this color. He stopped by my house several years ago just to view my original Lassen Green Model 41 even though it was a bit out of the way as he was going to a meet. He is a huge loss to the hobby. RIP Earl.
  3. Very saddened to just learn of Bill's passing. His contributions to the betterment of the BCA were immense. Followed his restoration of the 50 Estate Wagon with great interest. May he rest in peace and somehow know how much he will be missed.
  4. Just learning of this now John. Please accept my most sincere condolences. She is now at peace and and has no pain. The pain is for the rest of us to share. Peace to you and your family.
  5. I have used hydraulic jack oil in my prewar Buicks through the years. I'm told, though, that some restorers use front fork oil sold at motorcycle shops. No personal experience with this.
  6. Saw your car at Lisle on Saturday. Looked great even in the rain. Seems like you and Adam solved the problem.
  7. Correct. Bill. 37 through 40 had slight dome shape and no vents. 41 through 52 were much flatter and had 4 stamped in vents to control condensation that could short out the uninsulated spark plug wire ends
  8. Ben: The postwar cylinder heads did not have a threaded hole to make provision for the spark plug wire guide as pictured.
  9. Looks like car is equipped with the Lesabre 400 option which means 300 CI engine (Wildcat 355) with 4 bbl carb and 3 speed ST 400 trans. Std engine on Lesabre is the 300 CI with 2bbl carb(Wildcat 310). Auto trans would be 2 speed ST 300.
