My winter project, getting the dash pad restored. Other than Just Dashes, are there sources that have provided quality work, fair prices? It's not a show car, but a nice driver. All recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks! Jerry ROA 8691 BCA 1518 ,

We drove our '63 Riviera to Wilmington, NC last weekend to attend the AACA NC Region tour Monday & Tues. We logged approx. 700 miles, car ran great! Over 40 cars were on the tour. We all had a great time! Jerry

A friend recently bought this car. He is hoping to determine how many Regals (4AJ57) with the S/R option were produced. The BCA roster show total production figures only: 174,560. Can anyone provide this data? I know that many times, specific options are not broken out. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words, Rivman! Jerry

I'm 71; drive a Teal Mist '63 I've owned since 1975. the daily driver is a '97 SC.

The rebuilt pump from O'Reillys was bad. Exchanged it for another one, installed it, bled it & all is fine; quiet and performs well. Thanks for you prior replies. Jerry

Ben & '39 buick, thanks for your replies, this has been very helpful. Jerry

I've acquired this gear set, being told its for a '41 Series 40/50. Probably fits other years, models, & perhaps makes. Here's the numbers: Ring gear:7817 44-10 Pinion: 8817A 44-10P Would some one with reference books kindly identify what years & series these parts will fit, also the ratio? Many Thanks!

As the temp dropped this fall, the P.S unit was noisy until it warmed up, then fine. After discussions with a couple of repair shops, the consensus was a bad P.S pump. I replaced the pump & hi-pressure hose, now its noisy all the time, even after warm-up. I bled the system as per the Chassis manual, ignition off & turn the wheel lockto lock 20 to 40 times, etc. Before I bled, the fluid was clear, no bubbles or foam. After, lotsa bubbles & brownish foam. I did the bleed routine twice, still very noisy. there's no leaks @ the pump, hi & lo pressure hoses & the rack. I believe the pump is faulty; Any comments, suggestions are appreciated.

Sad news. Our sincerest condolences to Libby & his family. I've known Lewis & Libby for many years. Lewis was an inspiration & a wealth of information with regard to the restoration of my '41 56C in the early '90s. He gladly opened his shop & museum in N. Wilkesboro, NC to many car clubs; personally conducting the tours; always having a story about each Buick & Cadillac that we walked past. I fondly recall the '41 Buick "showroom", complete with period banners, desks, & phones! I recall the Ivory Soap '40 Special, sitting in the replicated living room of the contest winner! And speaking of winners, Lewis' Buicks & Cadillacs were the best in the country. At numerous AACA, BCA & CLC National Meets, Lewis would bring not one car, but several cars, all top flite.

My Carb an internal crack in the top casting. Please PM with what you have. Thanks Bunchabuix

Thanks all for your concerns. I'm still working with Mike Book to identify neighboring vendors, who may have seen something helpful.

Sat. afternoon, my remaining parts were stolen, as I went to get my vehicle to then pack up. Taken were 1941 parts: Radiator, with a copper overflow tube soldered to the filler; rear bumper, used, fits 50/70; 1955 grille, 40/60, decent, minimal pit ; 1961 water pump, rebuilt, for 401 w/ AC; late 60s-early 70s rear air deflector for station wagon, beige color. This stuff may already be @ the metal scrap yard. My space was behind the Inn @ St Marys, backed up to the highway. the hotel security cameras did not have the correct angle. I filed a police report. Mike Book @ the BCA Nat'l Office was notified. Please be on the look out for these things. Thanks!

Hi Pat, I'm interested in this part. Please PM me with you phone #. Thanks, Jerry Bodden jbsbuix@embarqmail.com
