dibarlaw Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Congratulations! The 1933s and 1934s are such regal looking automobiles! I wish mine Buicks looked half as nice as this example. Merry Christmas and many Buick Bliss miles in the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob duffer Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Marty, What type of gas do you use? Do you Have to put lead additive in or anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) You don't HAVE to put anything in, especially if you don't ever drive the car hard, BUT.... for a few bucks more.....I use:only No-Ethanol - except when unavailable on tour. Even then, for each 10 gallons of gas , I add:4 oz Marvel Mystery Oil1 oz Alemite CD-2 Lead Substituteand I also add Star-Tron with every tank to reduce the effects of Ethanol Gas, and as a gas preservative for storage (you never know when a car might get laid-up unexpectedly)...all this despite the fact that when I rebuilt the engine I went with Stellite hardened valve seats, a 3-angle valve grind (and balanced aluminum pistons)..... by the way, all of my cars get the same combination of additives, and YES, some will tell me it is a waste of money, natural resources, and is hurting some endangered species somewhere, but I'm comfortable with this regimen, and so far, my cars seem to be thriving. They generally survive even the long drives to-and-from the tours without complications, and think they are the Energizer Bunny, going, and going, and going...

Buicknutty Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm late picking up on this thread, but I too want to offer my congrats on the purchase of such a fine looking Buick. I should perhaps take a lesson from you, as I somehow don't think that my wife is going to buy me a much longed for Buick Woody for my Christmas present.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and I wish you many happy miles of cruising in your new Buick Baby!Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob duffer Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Stunning car- Amazing how close our dash's are- , me a 33. I see you got the rare locking radio too. Good for you-OCMOutlaw car man,Do you have any pics of your engine you might be able to post? Both sides if possible, i want to see the colors . I am wondering about the valve cover and oil pan and other small parts.My pan and valve cover are green (2 different shades ) and i'm not sure it's right. I'm looking to paint them black. I have the lock for the radio but NO radio under the dash. I am looking for one if you know of any for sale.ThanksBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 There is a gentleman here in Ontario, Harold MacQueen, that has many thousands of vintage car radios, and he may have one. I don't believe that he has much of a web presence, so if you want his number, PM me.Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
