55 SURVIVOR

He needs to find A different hobby.

What happened to Kosage ?

The only skill they did on their cars was signing the loan and making sure they make the payment every month. Mark

Bernie you sure know how to use your head!!! Mark

I'm for leave it as is. N.O.S. I have bought many many N.O.S. body and trim parts when I did my 59 Plymouth. It is A standard term, and have got very good quality pieces,some still in factory wrap.As far as carb. parts, rubber, gaskets,etc. etc. etc. use your head!! Many parts I get CANNOT BE FOUND. And parts cars and junk yards good luck. Most are worse than what I have. I will always look for the N.O.S. term. And I don't need to hear "we're talking Buick not Mopars. It is the same across the board, I own both, when parts are scarce you get what you can. 99.9% of the time N.O.S. is better. alot of stuffs hide in the nooks, crannys. It was New, but Old Stocked never used is the way I see it. Just my thoughts. Mark

Just A few shots,and my other project 59 Plymouth Mark

It is bone stock,sounds good,AM only.I had to replace the rear speaker but used the same grill,the paper was toast.I think I got it from A company called electromotive,out of California,I think.They also do old radio to modern conversion,try googling it.I'm using and leaving it stock,it is what was in it when new,the radio works excellent as well.Hope I helped you,good luck Mark

This is what mine looks like in my 55 Buick, Dealer install when the car was new,the fader is A shade of brown.It has "front,middle(both speakers)back". Mark

I like it the way it is,I can take the issue to work,read and sit at the breakfast table with A cup of coffee,take it out on the porch,etc.etc.etc. I do not like sitting at A computer everytime I want to read something in it,as far as the 15.00 difference I would say I have A bigger problem if I was to kick about that.I enjoy the club and the magazine that goes with it!!! Mark

Willie:battery ok,internal plate shorted?just A thought Mark

-23 at my house in Erie Pa. Mark

NTX5467; Sounds like good advice,If 89 doesn't say thanks I will!! Mark

89; Just google Julius "Jules" Kutner and find his obituary,he died 10yrs. ago and lived in Boca Raton Fla.His wife is named Gertrude,he was the largest Buick dealer in Pennsylvania,and 3rd in the country,I see A King Buick in Philly,and North Hollywood California,He was president of King Buick as of 1986,play detective and contact or locate the dealer or A family member,I am sure there are some items to be had. Good luck Mark. P.S. I just read the obituary it is still there.

89 It's Pennsylvania ave. sorry!!! Mark

89;All the badge said on the back above the trunk key was just the name Kutner,that is all.I'll se if I can find A photo of it but I can't get A picture because it is now in storage not at home.I know he closed around 1994,his son took and opened in L.A. as King Buick,I don't know if he is still going or not,try an L.A.directory and maybe talk to A relative.My original owner lived on Pennsylania ave.near that dealer,maybe you can help me?Last name, Demi his daughter is still alive.I can get more info maybe we can talk sometime offline?
