Sorry...well, not really. I don’t like the tats. To each their own of course.

The sellabus.com website has a few ads for Buick 320 engines and transmissions, but most are out of date. Or 1000’s miles from me. ☹️

Thanks for all responses. I did a search for Dynaflow Cadillac and found some interesting discussions.
Thanks.

I suppose quite a bit has been written about the Hydramatic Plant Fire of 1953. http://www.autotran.us/TheGreatHydraMaticFire.html
Most reports I have read state that some Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles were equipped with Dynaflow transmissions, and Pontiacs with Powerglides, until the new plant could be built and up to speed.
Has anyone ever seen a Cadillac or Oldsmobile with a Dynaflow?
I wonder how many were built, and how many may survived. Thanks!

The mangled piece from the front brakes in the last picture is a static eliminator for the radio. You can go without it.
Not too old to learn something new. Please explain how that piece in the wheel hub can work as a radio static eliminator. Thanks.

The gorgeous black car on the left is some model of Buick 8 that I saw at a little local car show today. Can you help identify? Thanks.

Welcome Young Kid. 53 Specials are my favorite Buicks, as my family had one when I was a boy. I hope to get one someday.
Also I lived in Central IL (Sullivan and Bethany) for 18 years. Been to Springfield many times.

Here is the repair procedure for propeller shaft bushing/ seal from the shop manual. Most people call it the Okie bushing. No personal experience, sorry. I hope this is useful.

Back in the 80's we used to drive a 320 Flixable buss to the Portland swap meet for a couple of years....
Was fun to drive down from the Seattle area.
Thanks!

Good luck with your project. Sounds like a lot of work. Maybe harder than repairing what you have... And a 2000 S10 is over 20 years old. It will be different for sure.

^^^^ 53 Special? Beautiful! I love that shade of green.

Why doesn’t Dad have on a coat?

Apparently no takers. Sounds like an interesting project.
What was first year air conditioning was available in Buicks?
How was that system designed?
Could a vintage underdash unit be used?
Are aftermarket kits or components available from any vendors of custom A/C systems? Such as Old Air or Vintage Air?
Good luck.

Thanks. Again.

Thanks again all.

There’s an active contributor on the Studebaker Forums who goes by RadioRoy. He hails from Redwood City, CA. I don’t really know how to contact him... so, this may not be very useful. Sorry.

Buick and Oldsmobile. Can you tell/guess what the other car is? Continental type doors. Could be a 40 Chevy, but might be too large for that.

Nice smattering of mid-50’s American cars. I see 3, maybe 4 Buicks. 1 Packard, 1 Dodge, a Plymouth or two, 1 or 2 Olds, a couple of Chevy pickups and a bunch of Fords.

What about a 302 GMC? I have an NOS short block in stock.

Thanks. That’s a popular swap in old Chevy trucks to replace a tired 216 or 235. They are getting harder and harder to find though.

Love the 53 Buick 2-door Hardtop! Is that a Special or Super?
Classy lady too.
