Frank Wilkie Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Bob, you have a very nice car. My dad & I have had several 1934 & 1935 Buick's in the past. They were the 60 & 90 series. I drove one form Portland Oregon to Southern IL. back in the 70's. It was all original. It was the 1935 96C (pict).. Do you have a preference of a trade?

Dynaflash8 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) That is a very beautiful, well done car. If I wasn't looking for a CCCA Classic, I'd knock on your door for that price. Good Luck. My current interest is big and fast, no need for a closed trailer. Two more years I turn 80 and my closed trailer will become history.

amphigill Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 First improvement is going to be a Lloyd Young overdrive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 You will find Lloyd's work a major improvement in your ability to handle normal traffic and hills, but also to cruise at highway speeds. I was able to drive mine as a 5-speed (just for fun). What was a 4.88:1 ratio becomes 3.416 thanks to an overdrive unit reduction to 70% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tested out my new Lloyd Young o.d. and the car feels right at 60!!Smooth ,quiet, easy. To steer. Thanx Bob &Thanx Lloyd! Hope to put many miles on this summer.

C Carl Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Just be very careful , Tom. That ol' deathtrap does not have the handling , dynamic stability , or brakes to get out of the typical 60 mph incident we all can encounter at any time. It all happens in an instant. Lord : have mercy if you actually bang it. There is no safety engineering whatsoever in these crates. Most folks were not rip roaring around at 60 in the days of the birth of your car. Many guys use O.D. to just keep revs down at previous cruise speed. That said , there is obviously a safety factor in being able to go 60 if you absolutely HAVE TO. I have had to get my '27 Cadilllac up there for very short periods when not doing so would be a greater risk. I took the very first opportunity to get it back to its design high speed cruise velocity. 40 - 45. Please take it easy , Tom. We all look forward to seeing you and your Buick around for a long , long time ! I enjoy driving fast in my fast cars , and slowly in my slow cars. To your health ! - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob duffer Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 I wish that I would have taken the time to put the overdrive unit in. I would probably still have it now if I would have done it.I'm really glad you are enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAS VEGAS DAVE Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I put the overdrive in our 38 Special about 4000 miles ago. I live in Las Vegas and had to ship the torque tube and ring and pinion to Lloyd Young back east. He did a great job on his end. It was the first thing I did to my car and also easily the best thing I did. In my case I loved the car but probably would not have kept it without the overdrive addition. Now its a keeper and I have turned down some incredible offers. If you want to read more on this modification go to the pre war Buick site and look for "THE OVERDRIVE MOD BEGINS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
