How did you find this Buick in NZ? 

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

[Hood bows 1922 Buick]

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
