  1. I'm wondering anyone knows of a source for bezel rings used on the dash of 1929 standards (model 27). Pictured is my pot metal catastrophe. I see Bob's sells this piece for a 1928. I have been told that they have been made for '29's. Thanks, Marty
  2. dibarlaw Thanks for the pics! I agree with you on ebay pricing - it is ridiculous in most cases. I also have a contact that I can describe as you do in your last post - I don't have infinite time on my hands. Maybe I will get lucky and find the lens in the stuff I have yet to look through.
  3. dibarlaw I presume one unit was used per car rather than on each side? Your pick would indicate one located inside the spare tire? Mine do not have any lens or logo either. Marty
  4. Three of these were in a collection of parts that I bought for a 1927 Buick mod 27. I have not seen a picture of these on any vehicle. Would anyone know if it was indeed a '27 part, and if not any idea of where it was used? Thanks, Marty
  5. Thank You folks for the information! Marty
  6. I have a 1927 Buick model 27. I need to change the tires, and probably need a wheel puller (as I was told). Would anyone have a wheel puller to sell, or is there a modern day puller that would work? Thanks, Marty
  7. Raydurr / Robert Engle No, I have not attempted anything yet, just waiting on replies. If I drill the pin out, it must be tricky to finish the drilling depth (just getting the pin drilled out) without drilling into the brass key cylinder?? Any tips there? Thanks!
  8. Rock10, I hear you and would be glad to call a locksmith if I knew where to find one that had the expertise and key blanks. Anyone know of a capable locksmith in the southern part of Wisconsin?
  9. Hi Folks, I hate to say this, but I lost or misplaced the ignition key for my '29 model 27. I cannot find any numbers for the lock to have a key made. So would anyone know if the lock cylinder can be removed? If so, any suggestions on how to go about it? Or am I stuck taking the steering wheel off and sliding it up and off the steering wheel shaft so I can send the unit to a locksmith? Thanks for any help! Marty

  11. Thanks very much for the info! Marty
  12. That is a lot of information - Thanks very much Hugh! Marty
  13. John, Thanks for the info! I wonder if the 26 was what they used on the 1027 models. I'm also surprised there wasn't a cup that fit over the top of the jacks screw top and had a U shaped top on the cup that grasped the bottom of the axle to keep it from sliding off the axle. Marty
  14. I have a 1929 Buick model 27 body shell for sale. From firewall on back. Doors are on. Make a reasonable offer, based on you picking it up in SW Wisconsin. I will consider trading for parts for a Buick 1927 model 27. Marty
  15. Hi, I need new running board rubber for a Buick 1927 and a Buick 1929. Both are model 27's. I was wondering what your experience was for those who have replaced the same? Did both years use the same rubber? I was considering product from; L & L, Bob's, and Steele. Are there others that you would give a thumbs up to? What is your opinion on the quality and cost? Thank You! Marty
  16. Would anyone know, or have pictures / description / make and model of the jacks used on these cars? Did Buick supply a jack with the cars? Was it a bumper jack? Did you place it under the axle? Thanks! Marty
  17. William, What you describe fits my key problem exactly. I am confident that I have the right key, but it won't even go into the lock. I have soaked it and the barrel with free-all, brushed it clean, but have not vacuumed the key slot yet while using a needle as Hugh suggested. Marty
  18. Thank You Hugh for the detailed advice. I am more than happy to give your advice a try. Marty
  19. Thank You guys for the input, and thank you Hugh for the insight and details that you provided. Marty
  20. For those who have experience with rebuilding their wood frames, what glue is the best to use? Thanks, Marty
  21. For some time I have been intrigued with the transmission lock on my car. I read the number and had a key made for it. The key arrived and will not fit in the lock, so I am thinking that something was broken off in the lock. Would anyone know how to remove the lock from the transmission? Is it very complicated? Do you need to remove the transmission to get inside it? Thanks! Marty
  22. Thanks Ben for the info. I did buy the Fisher body manual, so I now have what you are showing. This a good book to have, but I just wish I had a dimensional drawing for the front posts. The posts are shown in the book, but it appears that any posts that are made will have to be made to fit the contour of the body. I suppose a pro would know how to approach this, but it seems like that is about the practical way to go about it. Marty
  23. Here are pics of the back of the lower switch on my previous post. MG
  24. And here is the back of the lower one. Guess not, I am oversized on the pics. See new post.
