Found in 1930 Buick Model 68 - Misc parts (Message 2 of 2)

I recently acquired a 1930 Buick Model 68 Victoria coupe and found a series of parts in the trunk. I am trying to identify what these parts are. Some may or may not go with the car, although I am not sure. Any help in identifying what these parts are would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael

Part #9:

Some sort of rod, 32.25 inches long. Attaching 3 photos showing full length of the rod and each end.

Part #10:

Obviously a Buick running board step plate but what year is this for?

Part #11:

A Buick hubcap for wooden wheels but what year is this for? Not sure of the year as my car has wire wheels.

Part #12:

Have a pair of these. Chrome plated fairly heavy gauge steel with a spring inside in the center.

No.9 choke rod.?

No 9 looks like a throttle rod, not sure though

No 11 does look correct for wire wheels but i defer to the more knowledgeable

No 12 is the crank hole cover foe the engine crank, could be for your car.

No.12 belong to no.1. Runningboard step plate seems to be for 1928-9 to 1931. Hubcap seems to be for 1930.

Many thanks to Leif and Brian for responding to my query. I am pretty clear on what these parts are now. Part #9 turned out to be a control rod for the carburetor heat control that runs from the dash to the carb. Some one removed the entire system from the dash forward sometime in the past. It will be a challenge to locate all the other parts to complete this.

Thanks,

Michael

Part number 12 are caps which go over the sidemount locks pictured in your first message. When you turn the key the chrome cover is released allowing you to remove the sidemounted spare. Regards.

Thank you for that description on how part #12 works. I discovered that they were part of that sidemount anti-theft system earlier, but I did not know how they actually worked. This helps fill in some of the blanks.
