oldstyle Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 A 37 Zephyr sedan! This one is a driver and mostly complete. A much better start then my first one. I did notice a few strange things.1. The engine has a oil filter.2. Missing the seat chrome bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBoz Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Yep, it shouldn't be missing the chrome bars, but it *should* come with an oil cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstyle Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 I've noticed even more odd things as I look through these threads. -The cowl handle is on the passenger side. -I have a hole on each side of the gauge panels. Maybe vents? Or interior lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Coupe Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Nice looking sedan, congrats. Good looking colour too, but then I may be slightly biased there.The cowl vent handle can bolt on either side of the vent (for right or left hand drive I guess), easy fix if it bothers you.The holes you mention , if you mean the ones in the closing panels from the lower dash panel to the firewall then they are for the heater outlets. They should have an adjustable chrome pod in them.Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstyle Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 I think Ill move the vent handle over to the drivers side. Well, Im missing the heater outlets then. The previous owner must have removed all the heater parts. The list grows....Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBoz Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) About those holes on the console covers ... it looks like your car never had the heater system. I *think* what you are a very early version of the heating system vents, which may or may not have been used depending on whether the heater options was installed. I have a later 37 and the heat outlets are up higher and are basically holes cut out with chrome half-domes that can be opened or closed. Cool looking car all-around, though!

Lil Red Coupe Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hey Cecil, I think you are right, but when you look at oldbuicks pics you can see what looks like a hole cut in the same place as the heater outlets on yours. It's a bit obscured by the cowl vent handle but from what I can see it looks like it could be a heater hole (especially if there is one each side. Maybe somebody cut some in over the years.I thought the holes that oldbuick was asking about were the top holes and not the bottom holes. I could well be wrong though Paul.

oldstyle Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yes, I was talking about the top holes that are cut out on each side. It is hard to see them in these pictures. There are also a lower set of small holes cut in a pattern. Cecil, same holes you have in your pictures. Too be honest, I'm not sure what the lower pattern holes are for either!
