Packard used the same Delco parts for the starter switch. ****** When properly adjusted, the starter should engage with half of the pedal travel. Full pedal travel disengages the choke. So, That would conflict with a cold start, We know the nailhead needs a choke until warmed up... Mine does at least, it doesn't run well until it reaches 150 deg or so. As far as when the pedal start was introduced, the year was 1936 or before. Dad's '36 Buick had a factory pedal start

I've only seen that type of telescoping column on 65-66 Cadillac

Yep. Loose shoe (lining)

Hooray !!

Cadillac ?

Point well taken Lamar. It's the AACA's forum and AACA's rules.

The answer to that is; Have the laws changed so that the loser of a lawsuit pay the attorneys' fees of opposing parties. That won't happen until we stop electing lawyers to the states' legislatures

I also recommend NAPA and Rock Auto CARS old Buick parts Kanter auto parts

Thanks for that. When I saw that hood, I thought LaSalle .... (apparently incorrectly) and of course if it were LaSalle it would be '27 or later

Thanks for that correction Of course Viking is correct What was Pontiac's companion? Or, was Pontiac a ​companion?

You're welcome. LaSalle was the 'companion' car to Cadillac The 'companion' to Buick was Marquette 'Companion' to Oldsmobile was Knight. EDITCorrection, As John has pointed out VIKING was Oldsmobile's companion I like RR locomotives, too. I know a steam locomotive from a Diesel/electric locomotive. Edit Thank you for that correction!!

My NAPA is just four blocks away. They're opened on Sat. They keep a great stock of things. What they don't have in store, they'll have in a day or two, no shipping charge. They'll look at nearby NAPA stores stock, and say we can get it here tomorrow, or you can drive across town or downtown and get it today.

Yes. I think it is a 1925 LaSalle here is another from the LaSalle site

Looking at your photo here, I'm less sure now than I was before....

I Posted that before I was through writing. sorry Of course you know it's a RR inspection car.... sorry to be Captain Obvious. I think it's a 1925 LaSalle, with bobbed off front fenders and the headlights removed, it's hard to be sure.....

it's a railroad inspection car. That's a cow catcher on the front. .....

welcome Scott. No need to change to an open drive line. I've had my car for over forty years. one rebuild of the transmission 12 years ago.... never a problem

Very Nice !! looks like great weather thanks for those pics

Very Nice !!! I love that car !! Nice color !! Thanks for sharing those pics

Highway Patrol TV show used Olds, Mercury , and '57 Buicks. They only had the two '55 Buick Centuries. And they were prominently featured in the show's introduction for each episode. I've read of one surviving that is purported to be an original model 68 (Century) There are are at least a few Special model 48, modified to be model 68 (as I suspect the color photo I posted is)

from V8Buick

You're more understanding than I am. I don't get it. ... no buts

that's right. The '56 took the oil up to the radiator to be cooled. rather than bringing the coolant back to the transmission

Forum rules prevent us from using sharing the names of vendors that we have bad experiences with.

duly noted I agree 100% !!!
