Thank you Thanks Great Idea

Thank you. That's a great idea. I would guess that city directories might be housed in libraries only in adjacent areas. I will try via the internet. Thanks

Can anyone tell me how to find what Buick dealers existed in 1938 in the Pittsburgh and Allegheny areas of Pennsylvania?

State license info is a good idea. Now all I have to do is get the DMV of a few East Coast states to cooperate! Thanks, Billy Buick

Hi Terry, The '38 Buick was assembled in Flint Michigan. Thanks, Bill

Thank you for your response. I only know the name of one previous owner, but inside one of the pages of the original shop manual, I found a model description and price card. It says "prices for the Allegheny and Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania. I have to assume the car may have originated from a dealership in PA. I bought the car from a private owner in New Hampshire who says the car spent some time in Massachusetts. But it all the info I have. I am trying to find out which Buick dealers were around in 1938 in the Pittsburgh and Allegheny area. Any suggestions you could give would be appreciated. Thx.

I don't have a '41 Buick but in the '38 shop manual it suggests to depress the clutch pedal then push the starter to the floor. I do this all the time and it works fine for my '38. It might be worth a try.
