Having problems uploading the images, it says 'stale_thumb216c.jpg' Any IT geniuses out there who can help?

Hmmm. I have just posted and thought I'd included the photos...

Hello Anthony What a great car you've acquired, well done! I'm sure you will get a great deal of pleasure in recommissioning it! I enclose a couple of images of the rear window of a 21-45 McLaughlin Buick I owned a few years ago. I sold it to a Frenchman in La Rochelle. As you can see it has the same, lovely shaped, bevelled glass rear window and also cute oval ones for the side curtains. The McLaughlin Buicks were very luxurious, with their wooden dashboards and lockable cupboards and also the nickle plating on the metalwork for the top hoops. Looking at these photos after such a long time, make me regret ever having parted with the car...

What a fun thread... I enclose a couple of images of what I found in the clutch cover of my ex-Bob Cole's 1918 Buick E-6-45. (Terry Wiegand knows this car well) Can anyone identify the rodents from their skulls, or the type of nuts they've collected? Answers on a postcard etc...

Just read the link posted above by Ben P re Rex tops and enclose some photos of the original Jiffy rain curtains which came with my super original 1918 Paige 6-39 Linwood 5 seat tourer. It also came with a fitted hood blanket and radiator blanket which unfortunately seems to have shrunk and is difficult to fit without damaging it.

Hello Terry Oh dear! I received the same message today at 18.46 UK time - the same message. I've deleted it as well. Best wishes, Nick Bell from across the pond.

Yes they are incredibly rare and intact snubbers (?US term) or shock absorbers (UK term), I'll take some more pictures of them. Even the canvas straps are in unworn condition which is a testament to the probable low mileage of this car.

Yikes! That is a serious infestation, US mice obviously have good taste going for Buicks.

More pictures of the E-6-49, it is super original and complete - including the obligatory mouse nest in the front seat!! However have you ever seen the correct beading along the top of the front passenger seat and the fabric covering on the bodywork above the robe rail? First job was to remove that terrible fender from the front of the chassis, looks better already. I'm going to recommission the mechanicals and leave the rest as is...

Don, you are correct in thinking your 'pinwheel' is in backwards. I've just taken a couple of photos of mine in my 1918 E45... I've recently cleaned it out and replaced the cracked glass and it works fine now.

Well, here she is... Thank you Terry and Larry for not 'stealing my thunder'. Fresh out of the container this morning, having crossed the Atlantic Ocean to start her new adventures in the UK. Coming to join my E-6-45 which Terry knows well and on which we've just completed a 350 mile tour to Wales from Oxford last week-end.

And a couple of views of its rehabilitated engine with nicely aligned valve cages!!

Here are some more pictures of my E45 in its new habitat, as requested by Terry...
