Old buicks 2

I have a 31 DeVaux 4 door sedan that we have owned since 1988. Bought it from a rancher in Wyoming that purchased it new in 1936 in Belle Fourche, SD. Story is that it sat on the dealership lot in Belle until 1936 because the company went out of business and nobody wanted a car that there wasn't support for. The owner that I purchased the car from said the salesman came out to the ranch one day trying to sell the car. Ted, the owner, mentioned his dad jokingly told the salesman if the car could clime the hill in high gear out of the ranch house area, he would buy the car. Well it did and his dad bought the car. The kids then drove the car back and forth to school and eventually it sat at the airport in Belle Fourche for transportation around town when the family flew to town. Town was about 45 to 50 miles over some pretty rough roads, but only about a 20 min flight. Then in later years it went back to the ranch and just sat near the airplane hanger when I found it in the mid 80's. We did a complete restoration in 88 and take it to car shows where the "experts" are always amazed buy the car the "never heard of" Nice car but the achilles heal is the rear axle ratio, at 35 its starting the struggle.

Stutzman, Melvin 33650 Co Rd 12 Baltic, OH 43804 330-897-1391 ext 1 Amish wheelwright I've had them rebuild about a dozen wheels for me over the years. EXCELLENT workmanship, fast turn around and a very fair price. You have to call them and leave a message and they will call you back. Located about 50 miles NE of Columbus, Oh.

Have the wheel rebuilt. You are only putting a bandaid on a problem wheel. If it collapses while you are traveling on the highway, it will be disasterous and could cost your life. I don't know where you are located but there are several wheel rebuilders in the country that will do a good job.

Actually it is a Remy style coil from the mid teens thru the mid to late 20s depending on the auto manufacturer. There were several different mounting adapter plates available and they mounted in the engine compartment, usually on or near the generator. They were used by several car manufacturers like Chevy, Studebaker, Apperson, Auburn, Chalmers and a bunch of other companies. Contact was made through one of the terminals on top of the coil and the other contact went to the distributor. The round piece on top was the resistor which limited the amount of current to the points so they wouldn't burn.

We will have a few of the new 6 cylinder Delco distributor caps that fit the 1914 to 1920 Buick 6 cylinder available for purchase at Hershey this year. They are new made in Germany with bakelite and brass contacts. One purchaser said they are too gorgeous to put on a car, see pictures

With Hershey just over 2 months away, its not to early to contact me to discuss those hard to find ignition parts so we can deliver them to you at the swap meet. PM with your requests.

originals also have the N/E on the inside of the cap. HOWEVER at this stage of the game, be glad that there are any NOS or NORS parts available for cars that are near 100 years old

Believe that is the correct knob. All aftermarket and originals are like that

I have several in stock. tsvanmeet@gmail.com or 402-926-6909 Tom

This cap only fits the 26 and 27 Packard with the 4009 distributor. Also fits 27 and 28 Dupont🙂

Friend is needing to replace his transmission. Any body with a spare??????

The feedback on these caps is very positive. I have sold 4 of them already. One purchaser called back after he received the cap and said he is not going to put the cap on his car until it really needs it. He plans to keep the cap on his desk and enjoy looking at it.
