i do wish they had made the removable hardtop its a pretty good looking car

i am not familiar with these particular drums but on certain drums the wheel studs are rolled over and the rollover is what holds the drum to the hub again not sure if this is what you have but you need to have a machine shop with knowledge look at it in the case above there is a special tool to cut the stud rollover off to let the hub drop out again someone with knowledge and as always pics help. Marty

when posting a question like that let us know what part of the country you are in sometimes we know of junkyards that have these cars in them just an idea Marty

Today there was rain forecast for later in the day but I was craving some Buick time out for a couple of hours just me and the Reatta. Great South Bay of Long Island from south Amityville It's times like this I really appreciate Long Island

Beautiful Job I just dont think i could walk in that room lol

more than likely you have a clock most clocks of this vintage work sometimes at best see if there is a fuse for the clock if so pull it and see if that changes things if it is you have to see if there is anything else on that circuit and if so you would have to unplug the clock i would also consider putting in a battery disconnect, takes away all the headaches Marty

yes i am sure but remember with a push button you have lost your essence of cool lol

i am going to repeat myself again Man you gotta love the 70's and i just want to make a fact clear did anyone notice that there is a young lady standing on the roof of a car in a mini skirt man oh man lol

for all the above Please be aware that the pedal start system on the B60 works through the generator for some grounding so you may have to do away with the pedal start when changing to an alternator Marty

he's keeping it nice and clean for us collectors lol from the plate that car is brand new and i see a car seat with the steering wheel in it so probably cleaning up the kids mess wish my 60 looked that good marty

Very Nice keep up the good work it is definitely paying off

I see that you just joined thank you for the ad but the better way to sell it is to attach as many pictures as possible people would like an idea of the car to see if it matches the asking price Good Luck

This photo actually is a significant historical photo. The building in the pic is Sperry headquarters in Lake Success NY and still stands today, housing Celestial brands and Northwell health When this photo was taken it was probably 49 or 50 and this is one of the buildings on Long Island that the United Nations was in before it moved into the New UN Headquarters building in NYC, as all the flags represent the Nations. I would surmise that those cars were UN cars especially being all the same. Once again it looks like Buick had a small part in World History other than the windows the building looks the same you can google the following and it should get you close for street view Marcus Ave and Lakeville road North New Hyde Park, NY 11042 also check out The United Nations Headquarters in Long Island's Lake Success https://untappedcities.com › 2021/05/19 › united-nation...

Love the Jeep FC forward control in the background You would pay good money for either of these today The b60 has such a classic look

just as an idea have you tried slim jimmimg the doors if you can get near the latch mechanism and pull on the levers on the latch you might get lucky or you might make it worse just an idea Good Luck Marty

Looked at the Mecum result it does not say that it sold but the high bid is $15k so maybe a back room deal in the Turbo years Buick had 2, 6 emblems one was the Turbo emblem with 2 colors like on the Grand National then there was the non turbo 6 emblem that looks the same but is one color those were on the Lesabre Grand National and 86 Century GS This is a really neat car and unusual the convertible was done aftermarket even if done through GM it has a digital dash and buckets with a nonshift console this would look really cool in someone's collection and with the heritage i am sure in certain parts of the country a real hit always thought these one off cars were real neat

That is alot of hammer to drop to make sure to get the car but i guess if you can do it more power to you

Keith just as a quick test i would disconnect my vacuum advance and cover the port and watch the timing see if the stumble is causing the vacuum to change and in turn affecting your advance, just an idea it might narrow it down a little Marty

thanks i know your focus is on the 39 but any chance of pics of the 60 if not good luck with the 39 if you are still having issues with the title check out the Vermont option on you tube Marty

i can but it might be a few days if thats ok Marty

Ed yes those are the correct door panels for the vert, if it was a coupe there would be a wide panel of woodgrain in the center of the panel front to back. it looks like a nice driver and will probably be alot of fun.

The Long Island chapter had its annual picnic. I took the Reatta for the drive. This year we had a tour of the Stony Brook Carriage museum. For anyone with an interest in horse drawn vehicles this is an quality museum and quite extensive in their displays. A good day weather wise, a nice drive. And of course food. Fun times.

Normal warm temp is just to the right of N 70 degree day stop and go traffic it will go easily to the end of the line on a hot day it is heading for the H I don't think i have ever had it sit on the H but by then i am running the heater blower on high neutral whenever i can and stressing myself to no end after looking at the pics i noticed that the gauge may be calibrated from 110 to 260 interesting Marty

My car does not have a/c it's a base Special and I replaced it with a 6 blade. And to the observant this is the wrong water pump note the blocked off nipple my heater hose goes to the bottom of the radiator. I belive this is a later pump. It is going to be corrected as soon as i get the chance.

The first pic is the original short line gauge in my cars dash The 2nd is the replacement with the longer line
