41Roadmaster

Hi Grandpa, Anderson here, I'm new to the forum. I've read many of your helpful posts-thanks! Hope you don't mind a few questions on the vacuum antenna I see the photos and diameter listed here, but I'm curious about the length of the correct vacuum antenna (retracted and fully extended.) I'm on the seach for one for my '41-76C and just trying to learn as much as I can, so when an opportunity comes up I'll know if its correct or not. If you have a moment to share, I'd appreciate it.

Hi Dale, thanks for the welcome. She's an all-stock driver. I don't have historical documentation (but I'm working on that through a title search and the BCA) but it looks like she was restored in the late 1970's or so. Since then, I've just been driving it. Oh, I've done the usual oil changes, carb rebuilds, water pump replacement, etc. but nothing major. I'm not a mechanic, just an enthusist trying to keep a piece of history onthe road. But after 10 years of saving my pennies, I'm finally getting some much needed help to bring her back to former glory. It's been a long road, but I'm enjoying the walk. Looking forward to sharing the journey with all those interested!

Thanks Matt. I've got a thing for the convertibles too. I get mine out when I can, but it never feels like its enough. My wife calls me "the one car parade."

Thanks for the hello, David. Looks like you have ALOT of cars, my friend. I can hardly keep up with one! One of these days I'll get around to getting that leather back in. Its one of the items on my very l-o-n-g list!

Thanks for the hearty welcome and compliments John! I'll definately be at the meet in June, and I'll keep an eye out for you among all those beautiful Buicks. I heard from our President, Brian DePouli (also from Charlotte) that the registration numbers are high ALREADY. BRRR, I felt a cold draft when I opened your email. Schenectady must be native for "turn on the heat!"

Thanks for the welcome Woody. I had a '40 Super convertible and LOVED that car. But you're right, the 320 is the way to go for highway cruising.

Is this where the auto-holics meet? If so, "my name is Anderson and I'm obsessed with my car..." (everyone in unison, "Hello Anderson") I've enjoyed this forum for a year now, but have been only a wall flower, so I guess its finally time to step forward and say hello! I have a 1941-76C Buick Roadmaster coupe convertible, Royal Maroon body, red leather interior (well, vinyl) with a tan top. I've attempted to attach some photos...I hope they post OK. I've owned this car for 12 years and have enjoyed every minute of it (even when I was miserable.) I'm looking forward to getting to know the group better. I'm always looking to learn more about my car. Thanks for all the useful, and just plain entertaining posts!<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Hi Jeff, You wouldn't happen to have a working rear heat riser for the dual carb 320 would you? Much thanks, Anderson Charlotte, NC 704-333-5530

Hi guys, Looking for a 15" steel rim for my Roadmaster. I'm having mine blasted/painted and need a 5th for the spare. Light surface rust OK, just let me know. Anderson 704-333-5530 andersonpearson@bellsouth.net
