Exterior trim on E-bay. What '56 Buick do you have? (Special, Century, Super, Roadmaster ? 2 doors ? 4 doors? hardtop? sedan? conv? wagon?)

A dynaflow will have a torque tube drive (enclosed driveshaft inside a tube)

Right BhigDog NAPA Kanter CARS old Buick parts For drums try EBay

I agree A size on the diameter would narrow it down Perhaps , another photo of the gauge accompanied by a ruler

Very Nice ! Thanks for posting

The Chrysler turbine eventually found a production vehicle for the turbine; The M-1 Abrams tank

Hello, Welcome to AACA forums!! Instead of starting a new thread , You should post replies in your previous thread(s) Readers will see waht you have said previously and there won't be a lot of duplication of effort and information

nice !

You're so right Rusty. But, it doesn't stop there. jeeps are related to most every make. Bantam's design. During the war manufactured by Ford and Willys. Then by Kaiser. Some of the 1970 AMC Jeeps had Buick engines. Later Jeep was sold to Chrysler. Chrysler lately owned by Daimler, and now owned by Fiat.

ten years under a tarp... no water pump .... that's not running, for a buyer that means a discount in the price equal to a complete overhaul. Maybe an engine replacement... And, the trans mission will need going through, too. The wisest would expect a complete rebuild . The Hydraulic system includes the power top and power windows. It will need complete rebuild of lines, fittings, valves, cylinders and motor/pump. These are all negotiating points that lower the value. Don't listen to people that disparage Dynaflow. A Dynaflow in good working order is as reliable or more so as all other automatics of that day. But, any auto trans mission from 1950 sitting for ten years will need a rebuild.

My Prayers for you and your family

Get yourself a flux capacitor. And, go back to 1977 to find a DeLorean owner…

I remember a car show 1975 at the Alabama fairgrounds in Birmingham , one of the Chrysler turbine cars was in the show. It was big deal for a kid to see that car

Congratulations!!! I've been watching this thread, If I had more $ and more room, I might've been vying for it. It looks to be a very nice car..

I have occasion to drive a '52 Bentley and a '39 Rolls Royce. What you speak of, is a maddening feature...

I too, try to stay home when it rains.

On an uphill run. She does better downhill

Interesting point. Avanti is a great car, The Turbine might have been as well

"A show on the grass with plenty of shade and no trees that drip sap" and birds that don't poop ..... and let's not have any rain either... ------------------ I vote for pavement for a car show ... If you want shade bring an easy up tent and umbrella

Roger GB I would suggest you post your progress on the other thread.. (that one linked in this thread) It could helpful to others down the line, to have it all in one thread Good Luck
