MrEarl Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Tha's awesome Bob! Love the wear on it, shows it wasn't just put in a dresser drawer and forgot about but rather used to light up a few. Wonder where the original owner is now... pushin up daisy's after dying of lung cancer maybe.... Glad I quit tobacco some 40 years ago. Well maybe a cigar ever now and then. Thanks for sharing. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah, I imagine that lighter spent more than a day or two knocking around in a Buick plant. Maybe Flint........................Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 One thing a lighter ISN'T good for, is removing the fuel cap off a rental truck with external large tank, with short fill spout to CHECK FUEL LEVEL. Had a customer start to do that one night, and we saw his intent, JUST before he LITE up the lot. Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOMETOWN BUICK Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Not sure what you would call this, but its from a cigar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Quote Not sure what you would call this, but its from a cigar. Hey Hometowner, You'd call it a cigar band, and you'd casually toss it next to your Buick Management Meeting cocktail coaster, during your pow-wow at the Flint Industrial Executives Club. As the representative for Folger's Buick, Charlotte, NC, celebrating the FIEC's 40th Anniversary, the subject of your meeting: Reliability Is Your Business. If you were a thoughtful type, you'd bring the cigar band home to your adolescent son, who would either wear it himself as a ring, or give it to his girlfriend. Sadly, I imagine there's little left to celebrate these days, and wonder if the Flint Industrial Executives Club's building is still standing.

How about Pratt Whitney radial aircraft engine, but that`s not Buick. The cigar is shorter, must have had another puff, did Buick have a line of cigars.

MrEarl Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) The Pratt & Whitney R-1830 1,200 hp radial aircraft engine as on display at the National World War Two Museum in New Orleans, LA. Out the total 173,618 R-1830s that were built during the war, Buick made close to 74,198 of them in the government owned plant in Melrose Park, IL, west of Chicago. This was 43% of the total. The engines built by Buick were used exclusively on the 18,190 Consolidated B-24s until April 1944 when it was contracted to build R-1830s for the C-47. It should be noted that Chevrolet was built R-1830s for the B-24 and C-47 also. Doesn't that green look a bit familiar Edited March 19, 2020 by MrEarl (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pont35cpe Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Lamar, I spent 2yr(Navy)at Fallon, Nevada `67-`69, the base bird was a C-47 which made regular trips to the Bay area, when that thing returned, a crew came out immediately put drip pans on the ground(Oops, deck)under the engines and gave it a complete wipe-down, it was one major oil leak. The saying was "Fill it up with oil and check the gas". Edited March 19, 2020 by pont35cpe (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
