  1. Looks like Roger Tyska's 1913-31 is forth in line. Now owned by Larry Schramm.
  2. I realize that Hugh is working with what he was given and with the customers monitary constrains. But just for reference this is what the seat patern was for 1927. Very simple. Not a pleated design.
  3. I have the same mount style on a brass headlight (right side) that someone did a 120V AC socket for a wall fixture.
  4. Put another 6 miles on Remley. Still sorting him out. I had him over 45 mph for several miles. Brakes still need some adjustment. The Speedo by Hugh is spot on for calibration! Now over 21012 miles on the odometer. So 10 miles since I have had him back on all 4 wheels.
  5. John: Just a warning as this is probably what happend to my 1925-45. Rear bearing seized and wore some of the bore. These should be a fairly tight fit. The previous owner had bought new bearings and poured solder around the outside of the shell to take up the space. I cleaned mine up the best I could and fit .005 shim stock in the damaged bore. Wraping the outer shell. It was a good drive fit and now the rear wheels no longer wobble. The fully wrapped area with the .005 shim stock was able to take up .010 total play. I also made a .020 brass shim washer since the bottom of the bore was scorred also.
  6. I do not know if you found any paint on the inside of your bell housing. None of my earlier 1925 units and my 1937 show any such paint. Just saying with the cost of paint I would not have wasted time and materials painting insiide. On the other hand, when I had my engine rebuilt the oil pan and lower crancase was re-coated with red Glytol. The oil pan does get pinholes from many years of acid effect of oil and combustion byproduct.
  7. That is how it was designed. I thought that mine was worn on my 1925-25. I changed it out for another slightly less worn. No noticeable change in how the clutch engaged.
  8. Probably one of the 115 1926 model 49X chassis for export. As there is no listing for a model 49 7 passenger touring except for (1) as an enclosed touring. 1927 listed no 5 or 7 passenger tourings on the 120 or 128" wheel base chassis. Only 1927 tourings listed were for 5 passenger standard sport touring and the model 55 4 passenger sport touring. Looking at the style of the top bow it may have been one of the 1927 McLaughlin specials.
  9. I have contacted him for my friend who is about 10 miles from him. Just a trial for me conversing through facebook. He changed the designation to 1932-68 so it is to have a 272 cu in engine. Now if only he will give me his # so we can give him a call.
  10. You show the heat riser being painted. Make sure the inner steel tubing sleeve has no pin holes. Or you will have runability issues. These sleeves were a common replaceable service item by the late 1920s.
  11. Mick: Just let me know which units you need.
  12. What the 1924-44 is to look like. One for sale over 10 years ago in it's correct Cobalt Blue..
  13. If you choose to accept this mission I have some 1924 6 cylinder parts. 1924 shell on the right. Also a 24 Radiator with good tanks. Windshield stancheons from this 1924-45 cowl.
  14. Mel Drapper made the socket set for my 1925 Buick. He also had local people make the Bows.
  15. After a lot of work straightening, body work and filling.
  16. I ran the process for about 6 hours. The carrier looked like something found on the deck of the Titanic. Also pretty bent up.
  17. I had to get into the ad title on facebook before it saw the noted Md 58. I do not understand why the wonky angled photos. Just down the road from Middleburg my friend just sold 2 of his 1932s. Several years ago we looked at this 1932 Md 96 near Pittsburgh. Then of course with the liquidation of Mac Blair's estate there seems that many more 32s are now available.
  18. Not a 1915 but it is an early 1916 build (fall of 1915) similar to Terry Wiegands car.
  19. Any idea what series this is? 50? 60? 80? 90? I believe 1932s had 18" wheels.
  20. Kiddie pools are great! I used mine to do electrolysis for de-rusting my 1925 Buick spare tire carrier.
  21. Apolo when he visited me several years ago. We have Buick buddies from coast to coast.
  22. Kevin: When I installed my tank to my 1925-45 I cut up one of my old leather belts. I punched holes and riveted. Now I guess I need suspenders.
  23. Olsons Gaskets would be your best bet. My 1925 had a later composite gasket on it also. The coper asbestos version would be the correct replacement.
  24. Thanks Pete: Looks to be a 1926 Model 48. Master. Noted to be on the 128" WB chassis. Original color notes as being Lotus Blue.
  25. Robin: I will inquire as to who was the purchaser after my attempt as I believe he had some work done by a restoration shop near Uniontown PA. The original restorer/owner may be well documented in old AACA records. As you see by the 1950s AACA and Glidden tour badges on the dash and below the seat. If I had been able to buy the car I would have pursued it. Note Mark Shaw's photos show the correct sidelamps. Mark Shaw and I had long conversations about this car when I was considering a counter offer.
