[Bolt pattern for 1937 Buick Roadmaster?]

I was just doing some research on this due to finding a different size of tires in the sidemounts on my recently purchased 1937 Century. The old Torque Tube article that I just read indicate that the 40 and 60 series use 5X5 bolt pattern and the 80 and 90 series use 5X5.5 bolt pattern.

Thanks for your reply. Good to know the parts are all stock. I was beginning to wonder if my Grandfather got creative and somehow swapped wheel drums and wheels.

[Bolt pattern for 1937 Buick Roadmaster?]

Thanks for the info.

The first thread states a Century wheel as 5x 5 bolt pattern.

I had a more 5 x 5 GM wheel and tire that I was using to check tire clearance and I found the bolt pattern on my 37 Roadmaster has a larger diameter.

I have a template to measure bolt patterns and meaures 5 x 5.5 bolt diameter. This was pretty confusing to me because I had expected it to have a 5 x 5.

1) Does anyone else have a simular year Roadmaster and know if 5 x 5.5 was stock bolt pattern.

2) Deos anyone know if the Roadmaster wheels should fit on a Century?

Thanks

Appears that my 1937 Buick Roadmaster has 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern.

Can someone tell me if this is the correct bolt pattern for a 1937 Buick Roadmaster?

Thanks

Thanks Marty for your help.

Yes the other pictures are helpful as well.

Interesting that the door panels in your pictures show two rectangular shapes which is like cloth Roadmaster panels.

This is different than the 38 Century pictures Grandpa posted that show four horizontal lines across the top.

1) Does anyone know if door panels Roadmasters with leather interior always had the two rectangular shapes, or did they vary?

Thanks

Thanks for the info on headliners.

Does anyone know if these pictures of a leather interior in a 38 Roadmaster convertable are factory correct.

They are certainly fancier than the picture Grandpa provided.

Thanks

Thanks for the pictures.

Do you know if Roadmaster interior would be similar?

Do you know if the headliner in a leather seat car was leather or cloth?

Thanks

Does anyone have period correct pictures of leather seats from a 1937 Buick.

Is there a source for the color of the grey leather that was offered.

The model I'm restoring is a 37 Roadmaster, but any model from 37 may be helpful.

Thanks

[Width of radial tires that will fit in wheel wells 37 Roadmaster model 81]

Hi Frank,

That would be great if you have that information.

Tires I'm considering are 195/80R15, 205/75R15, and 205/70R16.

Thanks

[Width of radial tires that will fit in wheel wells 37 Roadmaster model 81]

Radials are same price if not cheaper so think I may as well do radials on all six tires so I can rotate them.

[Width of radial tires that will fit in wheel wells 37 Roadmaster model 81]

Since I'm planning on driving my car almost daily, I would like to use radial tires.

Has anyone else done this on their '37 or '38 Roadmaster and what width tires would fit in the side mount wheel wells?

Thanks

[Hardware questions for 1937 Buick]

1) Is oldbuickparts.com the best place to buy the 5/16 cage nuts used to attach fenders to a 37 Buick ($1.75 each).

2) My car had 5/16 studs and 3/8 studs with hex nuts used in some of the locations to mount the front fenders and front fender bracket. The 3/8 stud was fine thread on one half & course on the other. I assume these studs are used to aid in assembly when hanging the fenders. Can anyone tell me if these studs are typical original assy, or is it likely this fender was replaced?

3) Can anyone tell me where to buy these studs.

4) oldbuickparts.com lists "fender washers" and "fender star washers". Can anyone tell me what the differenct is and which was original?

Thanks
