  5. I grew up with Buicks as my mom worked at Joe Torres Buick in Rome NY in the 60's and I was allowed to ride in various buicks from the dealership transporting to other dealerships - will get passed on to my son

  11. 1965 Buick Riv 853 rim that is true, have one that is not (does anyone true them)
  12. Want to buy a 853 Buick Riv rim, I have one but it is not true
  13. I did find a good home for my 23 and met a fellow buick friend!
  14. John - I believe we met in Gettysburg 7/2018 and discussed era tools, not a mistype - would like someone else to enjoy it as dad and I did (he passed in 2019)
  15. Dryden NY as far as I know it was done back in the 1980’s 607-423-3785
  16. 23-6-48 Buick Opera Coupe for sale, Sr. Gold and First Jr. awards in 2017 and 2018, after dad passed in 2019 the car has been barn kept and started regularly, it needs some TLC - clutch is starting to slip and it overheats on the few road trips that it was taken on, was showcased in the Buick Bugle 12/2016 - will consider offers over $5000.00 or BO - health issues dictate the need to sell and would not like it to sit idle
  17. Just my three cents worth of info, check to make sure (if you had the top off of the vacuum tank) that your gasket matches up with all eight screw holes and the ninth hole is not plugged - the extra ninth hole in the gasket fits over the breather tube protruding up from the tank and must be clear of debris, other thought is check your float in the vacuum tank - it cant have any holes or it will fill with gas and not work properly, make sure the float guide is seated in the center of the flapper valve at the bottom of the tank Jim 23-6-48 Opera Coupe
  18. Good afternoon all - doing some upkeep on a rainy day - what is the length of the fan adjustment spring on my 23-6-48 Buick? The one on now appears to be sprung and ends are out of shape, also where might I find the spring with the appropriate length and gauge - Thanks all
  19. I dont have the original gun but do have the flexible hose and pin type fitting, also have a stand alone grease gun
  20. Run a good grade fuel stabilizer, battery out and inside, fuel tank full, a few drops of mystery oil in cylinder heads and crank over, irish spring soap, dryer sheets and moth balls, put up on jacks or over inflate tires and roll the car once a week (no flat spots) and get out of house once a week and check on things and count the days till spring
