The plastic insulators were molded directly to the cables, full size cars from 1967 through 1970. and used a spring ring connector, the insulator was on the positive cable only. The metal heat shield usually rotted away, best thing to locate one and make a copy for yourself. JIm Schilf palbuick@aol.com

I could change transmissions in several hours, so I know about the special trans. The Century has a bigger trans, similuar to the early roadmaster series. I have a 37 Century floor shifter and a 39 cad trans sitting in the garage, and have located another floor shifter. Thanks for all the imput about this car. Jim Schilf palbuick@aol.com

One more picture of 54 Century

Just got my 54 Century 2 dr ht. A little rough around the edges. But it is a factory 3 speed. And most unusual 4 port holes on the front fenders. A bare bones optioned car, no power steering no power braakes. It dose have a radio and heater, and that is it. Would appreciate any information on production of this car, especially on the 4 port holes. I know the factory 3 speed is rare for the Century. The body # is 1566. The paint colors are not original. Will be needing some parts, bumper guards, window frames, trunk lid ornament, hood letters, Any help appreciated. Jim Schilf palbuick@aol.com

Hi Scott I just finished restoring two Star Wars cleaners. I had the same problem with the paint color. The first one I took to Flint for the nationals, this was a completely redone unit, sold it within 1 hour after putting on table. the buyer was thrilled with the color. Just finished painting the second one, I found a perfect red paint, at the local farm store, INTERNATIONAL Machinery RED, only in Enamel, and cost 6.99 a Quart, of course the hardner and thinner were not cheap. The paint flowed beautifully, and left a nice gloss. Jim Schilf palbuick@aol.com

Hi I think I have a 56 jack lying around somewhere. I started to disassemble it to have it plated and repainted, but never got around to it . Was going to use it for my 40 Buick . The original 40 jack is a hazard, and a bumper jack usually will bend the bumper brackets. The side frame jack is the answer, I have a another, to used and save. Give me acouple of days to find it, will let you know. Jim Schilf palbuick@aol.com
