The Long Island Chapter Show Will Be On June 10th Weather Related decision Hope to see you there Thanks

Sorry to say but we have postponed the May 27th show to the Rain Date June 10th the weather for tomorrow does not look good for a car show so we hope the weather will be great on the 10th We Hope You Can Make It Marty

I don't think her model year looks quite the same, but most of the 61 Buicks i see these days look great!! LOL

Just about 2 weeks away. Please see our website for info and entrance form, hoping for great weather. Three hours south of Lebanon Valley BCA race day. Race on Saturday, Relax on Sunday. See you soon Marty

not sure about the spring but i believe that the plastic is the breather for the power brake booster, if you look above the brake pedal under the dash you will probable see the tube about the size of the hole where the spring is going in in the picture. there is supposed to be some sort of filter material in the plastic so no dirt is sucked into the booster

My friend collects 61s he is not a member of the forum if you contact me I will give you hid contact info. He is interested Thanks Marty

Absolutely love this cars and looking like a train does it get any better. Probably pulling that brick down the pike brought the gas mileage down to almost nothing but look at the great looks you would get, lol. Does anyone know if this was privately built or did a trailer company offer it?

My preference is westleys bleche-wite but i prefer to use on a cool motor, it will take off light grease dirt and grime, usually doesn't harm paint but check first and do not leave it on to long, and don't let it get on the paint in the hot sun. i also have had good results with super clean but watch out on aluminum parts it can make them look oxidized, and DO NOT spray on polished aluminum you will be sorry. And remember to cover up your electronics from water!

i had 2 of these limo's for my wedding in 1983! i know that these are usually used as funeral cars, but my wife wanted modern limo's and i wanted Buicks, so it worked for us and has been for 35+ years. i know this has been talked about elsewhere but having a wife who enjoys the hobby helps out so much and i know how lucky i am. Seeing these pics bring back some great memories, Thanks

If it works and wont strip the bolt use it, so many sizes are so close between fractional and metric

concerning the tools needed for these new cars, if you don't have a 5.5 mm socket in your 1/4 drive set make sure you add one. i checked my 91 and that is the size of bolt that holds the coils on. you can buy them individually from craftsman or husky at Home Depot. for the price you might want to get a couple, very easy to lose. That size appears more on even newer models.

I would just like to go back a bit and ask DAVES89 what sequential kit did you use and how easy was it to install/where did you get it /how much thanks for the help Marty

PEAK lists it on their website as the GREEN antifreeze but on the label it is listed as being for GM cars 1995 and prior the PEAK part #s are for full strength PKA0B3 and for the 50/50 ready to use RUAB53 amazon has it listed for sale Barney i think what you may be experiencing is that even our newer collector cars are getting to the point where the replacement parts are not selling well in the stores so they are not being stocked anymore. i think that means we are getting even older LOL my local Advance auto part used to carry the PEAK but they have a house brand for older cars

just to add to this topic another reason the coolant had to be checked in the older cars was that there was no coolant recovery tank and if the coolant expanded and spit out it was gone! also an important note is to use the correct antifreeze for your year. the late model antifreeze sometimes have additives that can attack gaskets in the older engines, GM went through this when they came out with DEXCOOL in 96 it was attacking the gaskets. i dont know if any of this has changed but advance auto parts and PEAK have antifreeze for the older cars. TRYING TO KEEP FROM FREEZING IN NY

Thanks much for clearing that up, at least in my head! lol now i'm just waiting for the winter weather to go away to go topless Marty

quick question on this. i just purchased a 1991 convert about a month ago and it does not have the lighted lock cylinders, i had a couple of 1990 parts cars in the past and remember they had the lighted cylinders. did Buick do away with them for the 91 model year? this car is a repaint(DONE BEFORE THE PRIOR OWNER BOUGHT IT) and the detail to pieces put back together probably after the repaint leaves me questioning if the non lighted cylinders are correct. I realize twilight sentinal was added in 91 does this have something to do with it Thanks for the help Marty

Just wanted to say thanks to all those who put on a GREAT regional. My wife and i really enjoyed the weekend, sorry we had to leave the tour after lunch but our visit to New Hampshire was calling us. thought i would give you a view from the pace car, following all the cars especially the 27 was such a treat. cant wait till you guys do a National!!! lol Marty and Grace

The Long Island Chapter members and myself would like to thank you for your hospitality, and your love of the antique automobile! Marty Jablonski Director

WHAT A WEEKEND The trip back to Long Island although rather short compared to some members journeys, ended up being pretty much like the last couple of evenings RAIN!! Well as we all know there is nothing we can do about the weather. To Mr Bulgari, the BCA board, and all the members and volunteers who helped run the event we thank you for all your hard work! What a great time. What a wonderful venue. What Beautiful Automobiles I can tell you that all the Long Island Chapter members who attended had a great time. My only question is when the National returns to the Northeast is there a chance it will be here? one can only hope! Thanks again Marty Jablonski Director Long Island Chapter

Great to see so many fine Buicks registered, cant wait!! On the new info on the main page of the BCA website for the show it states that the hours for trailer parking wed thru fri it states lot hours are 7am to 7pm, does this mean that the lot is closed to all other than those hours, and is ther security on these lots during the closed hours or at all time Also in a prior post it states the show field hours are 7am to 6pm wed-fri on the new info as above it states 7am - 5pm please clarify Thanks again for all your doing Marty

Thank you for the info. Looking forward to being there,

To all the members running the meet Thanks to you All i know some of this might have been asked before but to clear up some questions please 1) the hours from 7am to 6pm wed thurs fri and 7am to 3pm on sat does that mean if you are not leaving your car on the show field it MUST be removed by 6pm? i see there is no 24hr access but are those hours the only hours that we can be on the show field, and if we leave a car can we get back to it to access it at any time other than those hours? 2) the 10 x 10 tents allowed does this mean there will be enough room behind each car for a 10x 10 tent? if so there is a perfect spot for chapter banners! 3) for those of us that are not attending the Banquets or Dorney park does anyone know of any local cruise spots we could invade with our Buicks? 4)is Saturday the only day that BCA members will be able to view Mr Bulgari's collection or will it be available other days? 5) will there be available car wash as the host hotel usually has at other meets? if not is there any local NO TOUCH car washes in the area? again thanks for all the hard work marty
