1938 Packard Twelve

Donald,
Welcome to the unofficial 41 Buick owners association. I think Anderson may have some trim parts that you may want for the car. Best of luck and have fun with it. What state did you buy the car from?

A Buick dealership not supporting the brand? I would imagine their new car sales are limited if they hide the Buicks in the back of the lot. Someone should alert Brain Sweeney-Vice President of Buick, GMC Sales & Service.

Does anyone have any pictures they would care to share with the rest of us? Thanks:cool:

John, I am trying to figure out a way to get there by bypassing most of the major highways without taking me two hours one way. Any suggestions? Thanks

From where to where? Gas tank to dual carbs or somewhere in between?

For those who could not attend the car show day at the CLC National I have attached several pictures.

If it was upholstered by someone unfamiliar with cars of this vintage, they may have used padding along the sides of the top irons that's too thick. It makes for a nice, smooth curve on the sides, but is too bulky when you try to collapse the irons. I saw this problem on an Auburn recently.
When I had my own Auburn reupholstered years ago, I specified that I wanted the top to "stack" very flat, and the upholsterer used thin pads that work well.
Is the solution removing the padding?

I am having trouble collapsing the convertible top to my phaeton. It does not appear to have any binding issues, but it seems like the irons will not collapse fully. The issue many be the fact that there is alot of fabric to fold between the irons. Is there anyone who has had the same issue, and if so, how did you correct it? I have attached a picture of the maximun it will close. I refuse to try to push it any more. Thanks.

Thanks for the great pictures. I was hoping someone would post some from the Pierce-Arrow Meet. How many cars are in attendance?

January??? No jackets?? No snow?? Looks like it does in June here!
I like the looks of the Lancaster Gray on your car. Nice choice Anderson.

Where and when is the 2014 BCA National meet?
-
Thanks again for the pictures! Are there any estimates of how many Buicks were at the meet?
-
I have one car with the Pertonix and one without. Both on different engines as well. They both work very well, but I like the reliability of the electronic ignition. That is my opinion.

Pete,
For those of us who could not be there, THANKS for the pictures!

Why do you think so many dealers/sellers spend their time advertising cars for sale and then do not state the sales price?? Do they think INQUIRY is going to get them more interest in the car? I have never made, nor will ever make an inquiry because my first belief is the fact that the car must be grossly over-priced or secondly, feel they are testing the waters and may be ashamed of the price. Are there any dealers/sellers that feel this is a successful approach?

On 1941 Buick's with 16 inch wheels they call for 4" whitewalls, while 15 inch wheels call for 3 3/4". In my opinion the more the better.

I purchased a 6 volt jump start several years ago on ebay. It was made by Battery Butler. I believe it was made in England. Not sure if they are still available, but I carry mine all the time.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I purchased EZ Cool insulation and will install that tomorrow. The bags of ice would only work so much. I will update as soon as I have tested it.

I am looking for suggestions on how to stay cool on a very warm day in a prewar car. Last weekend I went for a 40 mile ride on an 80+ degree day and thought my sneakers were going to melt to the floor of the car. Actually I thought my feet were going to melt to my sneakers. The heat through the floor/firewall was incredible. Without dismantling the car does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Juan,
Welcome to world of 1941 Buicks. As the adverstsing said "The Best Buick Yet". You have already found Bob's and he is a good source for parts as well as Old Buick Parts in NJ. A must have is a book by Bob Anderson titled "Restoration Facts: 1941 Buick". It is a great reference to have and can be ordered at www.andersonautomotiveenterprises.com.
As you will find they are great driving cars and very reliable too. There are plenty of 41 owners on this blog who I am sure will be willing to help you through the process. Best of luck.
Looking for a 6 volt battery

I am looking for a better than average 6 volt car battery. The last one I purchased in 2011 form Interstate is now failing. I am looking for one with good crank, but is also must fit inside my battery carrier. I don not believe an Optima battery would work. Any suggestions? Thanks
