pplaut started following Original Shop Drawings Question
-
When I was a kid, my grandfather had on his wall, the orignal shop drawings for his old Packard. I have never forgotten them and I am close to 60 now. What I an trying to do is collect or grab these images, clean them up and put them in mugs, stickers, etc. Below is an example of what I did for the Jeep L4-134 engine. https://peer-plaut-media-holdings-llc.myshopify.com/collections/plaut-motors/products/jeep-cj2a-l4-134-engine-5x5-sticker-free-shipping Does anyone know where I could get old Buick engine shop drawings? Thanks! ~P.

The weather finally broke and I was able to take the car out for a quick spin on some country roads. I was amazed at the difference. She road like a Buick instead of a go cart. Thanks to all for any and all advice. ~P. -
Do the bell's point outward or inward? This may become apparent when I go to put them on. But, Just in case either horn will fit either side, I appreciate your feedback. Thanks! ~P.

36 Buick Model 48. My car has had the suspension modernized. So, not much help here. But! I did take it to a spring shop that has been in business since 1935. They put more arch in the rear and cut a little from the front. She is now level and drives like a dream. The distance between the rear fender and the rear tire- not stock rear tires - was so close I could barely get my hand between the two. I can now easily get my wheel tire strap off with no problems. Now that it runs right, I plan on doing more driving and less towing. -

I too am doing some final tweaks on the 36 Model 48. I have about 50 miles on mine. I need to adjust the suspension. Using the running boards, unless someone else has a better idea. What is the distance from the front running board to the ground and the back of the running board to the ground? I'm going to a suspension shop next week. Appreciate any help. Thanks! ~P. -

Hey all- I need some help. I have a '38 Model 48 - two door Victoria Coupe. Several years ago I disassembled the car, not thinking it would take five years to complete the work. #longstory However, I have my interior guy working on putting the seats in and can't seem to figure out how it goes back together. And I think I am missing a piece or two - or three. Uploading photos. -

IT's not just the Pontiac. They don't have 36 Buick model 48 interiors either. -
Thanks for all the help! One key fits all! I like that. Simple.

I am going down tomorrow morning to look at the ignition key.

Thank you so much! I will let my locksmith know! ~P

I have a working ignition key that came with the car. I also have a glove box, driver door and trunk. Is it safe to assume: When getting the locks keyed for the rest of the car what is the pattern? examples- Ignition one Key - everything else another key? Ignition one key , glove box one key , trunk and door another key? Ignition and doors same key - glove box another? I am sure there is some sort of valet parking theme here. I am trying t make this as correct as possible
