When did Buick have righty loosy lefty tighty? Sounds like Chrysler in the 60s

But not when you hit the floor starter pedal?

Does the ammeter needle move when you hit the starter?

I'm no expert but I think when they make these wheels, they heat the metal rim up to 600 degrees to expand it, then they put it around the assembled spokes quickly and let it cool so it compresses back down onto the spokes. I don't know how you'd go about doing that, seems like a job for a professional.

Towing that way can be tricky if the tires are 40 years old and chunks of rubber are flying off

Does your book list the 1918 E-49 brake parts? I'm going to head down to Midas this year and have them do my break job LOL. What book is that by the way?

40 Buick special not charging battery

There is always the chance it's just a bad battery. -
Here's how the side curtains look on a E-49 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrP1Eb6JNj4 .

Mark, What model 1922 do you have. I have all the side curtains for the model 49 (in crappy condition) if that would fit at all Morgan

Since I've never heard an English person say anything good about America before, I was surprised and pleasingly flattered by this bloke's assessment of the 1915 Buick. He says American cars were advanced over their cars at the time, and he was especially impressed by our Delco electrical system with the distributor. He's amazed by the car, actually. Makes me feel good to be an American:

If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.

Where did you get it? I want one.

It's worth 14.5 k just for the gear shifter knob that says 2 R ├─┤ 3 1

I was checking out the light bulbs at the Auto Zone. Some of them with the super low numbers, like 2 digit numbers and even 1 digit numbers (!!), I guess those bulbs have never changed in over 100 years. The voltage on the side of the bulb says 8-10 volt, so I think you can use the same bulb for 6V or 12V, I see no reason to change the bulb for 12V. I figure the same bulb can go both ways. I doubt 12V would burn it out.

I don't know why anybody would convert a 6V car to 12V. Maybe it's better to double everything. My car has a 3 speed transmission, maybe I'm going to make it 6 speeds. It has 4 wheels, I think I'll convert it to 8 wheels. It has an engine, maybe I'll give it two engines. Just double everything.
