Godspeed my friend. For 3 years, actually the last three he attended Hershey, I would sit and talk with him for a couple hours. He also helped me with seats for my 47’ convertible. What a loss to everyone. Please convey our condolences to his wife and family. Matt

How did he title that Pontiac as a Buick???? “Call Only... Solid body, clean title in my name”

How about POS?

Feel free to call and stop by my place. We can talk cars and possibly visit a friends small collection. pm sent Matt

That interior is not correct. The window switches are wrong and the dash color usually matches exterior color. Matt

A 48’ Buick should have the number in two locations. One, inside the drivers door above the top hinge and the other is above the data plate. My convertible has both. Then, the last is on the frame rail as noted before. Matt

Take a pb blaster can and put the red tube into the nozzle. Stick the nozzle into the clip groove and spray a little bit in there. Tap the outside of the handle a couple times with a soft blow hammer. After a time or two over the course of a couple hours, it should break free.

Congrats my friend! Cannot wait to see all four together

Bernie, you are a riot! Cannot wait to have a beer wth you some day! Matt

Very nice car! Might I also add that it could be that your timing is just a little off. With the hit engine, it has trouble cranking.

This is of my 47’ last year. Color is really beautiful this year and have been having linkage problems. Maybe tonight.

I don’t know if I would want my car under that much radiation........might tend to glow in the dark afterwards.......

Yessir, er um Ma’am

Bob When I got my Pa plates/registration they told me to either take it to an inspection station to have the vin verified or bring it to them so they could physically look at the number on the plate. Matt

Has a hole where the door was. ?

The vacuum advance plate in the distributor requires lubrication at least once every 50'years or so. A little (few drops) of clean motor oil will help the plate move freely. There is a hole in the plate and actually says "oil here" if I remember correctly. Made the problems on my 56 Special go away. Matt

Hubcaps have chevy emblem. My guess is 42 or 46 chevy

BTT This car will be in the Car Corral at Hershey for those whom wanted to have a closer look. Have a great week! I have family obligations and will have to miss this year. Matt

It does have. Look at the pictures

Probably 50's. Late 40's switches also incorporated a hydraulic valve at the end of the actuator Matt

Wonderful! One could only wish to be so unattached to the worldly items we surround ourselves with.

Sorry to not report back. I was able to fabricate another spring to work in the latch assembly. Matt

Parts were shipped on Friday last week in the afternoon. Parts were delivered in Spain Wednesday afternoon. Pretty quick service! Very happy buyer! Has parts to move forward with his 46' Buick convertible build. Thanks for all of the comments Matt

They still check the VIN to the title and if the VIN tag is not original or looks "fabricated", they will question and then could open a can of worms. They would then refer the car for a VIN check, upon which they would have to try and find the same number on top of the rear fram rail. Which, by the way, cannot be seen because it is between the car body and the frame. And would probably need to be scraped or wire brushed to be able to see the numbers. I love the car, just we were hoping to see the model number in the body tag to better identify the body style. Matt

Guess we will never know as the tag on the firewall is not original. I don't even think PA would accept that as is "homemade" and not original.
