Hello Friends! The high beams on my 1930 Buick 60 C Roadster aren't working. When i use the lever on the wheel, it just gives me the low beams. Can anyone help me troubleshoot how to get them working? (I think the bulbs are ok.) I am assuming there is something at the end of the stalk mechanism that I should be looking for. Thanks! Michael

SOLD 10/28/20 Thank you!

The wood is in need of attention around the cowls. There is light damage on one side of the car. I caught the door backing it into the garage. Will need body work and new glass on that door. The top wood of the car is rotting out and will need replacing. Needs new tires. They hold air but are deformed from sitting. This is definitely a project and want to be as honest as i can about the car, hence the low asking price.

Hi - In the original photo, the door is just not closed. However, in the later photo with the cracked window, that door is damaged due to me catching while backing up into the garage and will require body work. I use that photo to illustrate this will need attention. Regardless, the wood will need replacing in both cowls, causing both doors to sag when opened.

Just messaged you - thanks!

Bob did wrong by me years ago. At his stand in Hershey, I bought a rubber GM floor mat, which he told me would fit my 1930 Buick Roadster 64c. I laid out about $500 cash for it. When i got it home, it did not fit the car. When i called, politely asking if I could please return it for a refund, the answer was a rudely delivered "no". Guess I am not the first with this experience, and sad for our community. Hate to knock a small business owner, but it really stuck with me, and i will never patronize him again. I still have the mat.

SOLD 10/28/20 Thank you! FOR SALE: 1930 Buick 68C Victoria Coupe ACAA Full Classic. Needs Restoration; does run and drive. Complete car. Was a good driving car before I parked it 4 years ago; life unfortunately got in the way and it has sat covered and under a shelter logic car tent. I had intended to restore the car, but have decided to pass it onto a new steward with the time and resources to give her a new life. Car is located in Bucks County, PA. Glad to show in person anytime. Asking $6,500 cash. I will update this post with photos in the coming days.

Thanks all. Here's my findings: Both VIN plates were indeed behind right front wheel on frame rail. (Thank you!) On the roadster, the VIN plate number does match what the previous owner had it registered under. However, on the Coupe, it does NOT match what the car was previously registered under......wonder why? I'm not sure if my local tag office will go for it. Anyone have experience with this stateside?

Hello friends. Recently moved to PA. from NYC, and am trying to register both my 1930 64C roadster and 68 Victoria out here . (no more inspections!) I must photograph VIN #s for tag office. On the roadster (Non Fisher body) I cannot locate a plate, and see only what look like part numbers on manifold/block. On the coupe (fisher) there is a ID plate on firewall, but no VIN on it that I can see. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Buick friends - I have a 1930 68 victoria coupe. (I also have a 64 roadster that I brought to Allentown) The coupe is a great running car that i drive everywhere, but is in need of body work. Both doors are coming unhinged due to wood rot in the door sills. The rest of the body seems to be staying together, but the doors are a real issue. I'm looking for recommendations in the Buick community who could do the body work, without taking advantage of me price-wise. I don't have the money to do a frame rebuild, and just wanted to see if a partial frame repair is possible to get the doors back on. All Best, Michael

Hello! I'm looking for a complete set of wheel lugs for my 1930 Model 64. I have STEEL WIRE WHEELS. Anyone know of a source for these? Many thanks, Michael

Happy news: I was wrong! when the wheel came off, nothing snapped. Upon further inspection and comparing with my 68, the area i thought that had "broken" near the chassis is really a damper meant to slide in and out. However, it does look like this area used to be covered by a leather boot. Anyone have a source on these? I will still need to find the correct wheel lugs, too. Any leads there? Many thanks, Michael

Greetings, Community. Sadly, the wrong wheel lugs were used on my 1930 Buick 60 during a recent service. Consequently, the passenger front wheel came off while driving. Luckily I felt it about to happen and slowed to a stop just as it happened. I have the steel wire wheels. In the process, the passenger right upper arm housing that mounts to the chassis cracked right down the middle. Apologies for not knowing the correct term for this part. The rod inside seems ok. I need to find a replacement. I may temporarily take the one off my series 60 coupe so that I can make the show in Allentown later this month, but hate to do that to her. Does anyone have a lead on where I can find one? Does anyone make castings of these? (doubt it!) Or is there stock somewhere, anyone parting out? Many thanks, Michael
