Thank you for the info

Missing one of the wing nuts

Do you need a radiator or hood? I have both.

Good luck with your search

I thought the same thing as a possibility I sure hope not

Good point…..I’ve had my 39 Buick for nearly 50 years and my 22 for 40 years. I’ve gone through periods of getting excited about working on them and I’m probably guilty of loosing track of who or where I ask questions too.

I was just adding up how long I’ve own the 22 and moved it from storage location to storage location and it’s been 37 years wow how the time fly’s. I’ve had my 39 Buick since I was 16 and I’m approaching 65 but at least I got a few years to enjoy driving it around and a couple parades along with in our wedding before kids came along and it got parked. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do!

I was just going back through some past posts to get myself back up to speed and I’m at a loss on what my original color was because the previous owner had partly disassembled my 22 and primered. The parts that haven’t been primed have an obvious terrible spray paint job.

Another get post to follow. My 22 was missing the speedometer too. I’ve picked up two units so far off eBay in hopes of getting one to work.

I’ll soon be going through these same steps on my 22-4-36 that’s been stored for way to long. It’s nice to see a history of helpful posted on just about anything I’ll need to do.

I see your from Michigan what part of Michigan? I’m in Ovid MI which is north of Lansing. I’ve got a 22-4-36 I’ve been gathering some parts for but the engine is intact. Did you have any luck getting help to get it started?

We’ll I didn’t find the hood handles and latches by themselves but I did find a complete mid 20s hood that had what I needed. I don’t want to remove them until I don’t have any other options so I’m kind of still looking.

I’ve got the cover but missing one of the wing nuts. The wing nut slips through a hole in the cover and has a grove in it so a clip will keep it in place when the cover is taken off.

Not sure if this is what your asking or not but the 6 indicates it’s a 6 cylinder and the 45 is the model number for the Touring model. Mine is is a 22-4-36 standing for 1922 4 cylinder Coupe.

I didn’t realize they even had gauges I thought the fuel tanks had a built in reserve tank for emergency use

When I was in high school for wood shop we were allowed to bring in shot guns and rifles to refinish the stocks and Refinish and blue the barrels. I remember carrying my rifle in the case through the school hallways to my locker. It’s amazing how things have changed.

Thank you for sharing…. I like challenges so I’m going to follow your suggestions….you did a great job restoring your gauges.

In search of speedometer, oil and amp gauges, ignition and light switch, dash light and hood latch’s. I do have the the ignition and light assembly but the key lock is missing. I also have both gauges but the glass lenses are shattered so if anyone knows if these items can be refurbished id go that rout to stay with original equipment.

Looks your wheel base is 118 while mine is 109. I have many sample photos from the same model as mine that were posted on various internet pages. I’m thinking I’ll need to have one fabricated

Looking for a Buick master parts book covering 1922

I’ll have to try calling I sent an email some time ago but no response

These master parts books are hard to find

If you have a parts manual covering the 20’s can I ask where you found it I’d like to find an exploded view of the cars if they made them back then. It would help me identify what I may be missing because I purchased my 22 mostly disassembled.

This is the most accurate photo I’ve received but I don’t have the length info right now. I have one of this style I have to measure but I’m guessing it’s approximately 3 inches long. I’m thinking if I can get four of the same I can make them work
