Actually came across the car via Facebook! A bit of luck involved I think ,

Hi, I’m trying remove the hood bows from the hood irons. I been able to ease three of them but.... the third one, that has a hinge on it ( see photo ) that doesn’t want to budge. I have taken the screws out and the nails. Are the brackets screwed to the bows Or are they rivets and have I missed something Also I’m thinking of having them powder coated, has anyone done this or is painting better. Thanks for your help. Cheers David

Hi, thank you for your reply. I understand there is one 22 Buick in a town called Wanganui that's about a 50 minute drive from my home. I have the owners details so I'm definitely going to make contact. i believe there are very few 22-4-35 models in NZ so 2 may be correct. Ive joined the Buick register in NZ and Graham is a very helpful chap indeed. I'll join the Australian register today ! thanks again David

Hello all, I've been so lucky to have been able to purchase a 1922 Buick Tourer in New Zealand. It has been restored in the eighties and has be laid up in storage for the last 25 years. A wonderful Buick man helped the previous owners get it ready and drove it on the truck before heading to me. ( about a 10 hour drive and 3 hour boat trip.). I bought it sight unseen and am absolutely ecstatic with it. There is a bit of recommissioning work to do before she will be road legal but hopefully she will be ready in a month or so. I have to get a convertible top made for it and a bit of touch up to the paintwork. I look forward to being part of this group. I'll post some photos when I work out how. Regards David Marshall
