  1. Word! And...I also grew up with a '65 Sportwagon.
  2. Talked to Koch's coincidentally today....they have a mold on hand for 55-56 Buick...... $550 includes recast and paint to specified color.
  3. Gary, I think your project is fascinating. Are you considering engine-turning on the metal dash bezels, as would be original to a '40 Buick dash? Doug Seybold does these in Ohio; it would look awesome juxtaposed against the Dakota instruments!
  4. A firm called Koch's in California does a great job for less. It'd be case by case of course, but fyi a group of us '65 a-body Buick people, led by Loren Alexander, were able to negotiate a great group deal with Koch's. They stripped/recast/painted our wheels for less than $400/wheel, after the group discount. Obviously a singleton would be more, but they do great work, are excellent to deal with, and I'm confident would be less than $900.
  5. Wow, some people's perspectives are "different". If that's a turd, then all my cars are sewage. Great find Adam!
  6. Hi Gang, After 18 years of ownership, decided to dive into cosmetic restoration of my very original car. One broken window. the usual edge yellowing/delaminations, and water leaks around the rear light have led me to decide that, during the paint job, I will replace all the glass. Auto City Restorations, which specializes in date-coded LOF glass reproductions is local to me. They offer clear, gray tint, and green tint. Tinted glass was not available from the factory in '49.......but it would be nice, especially in a black car. What does everyone think?
  7. What does the plug-in look like? Does it / could it have a cigarette-lighter style plug?
  8. Any that would spec for a '49 Roadmaster Sedanet?
  9. Auburn, I could use a nice unpitted trunk ornament (the part that the "DYNA" and "FLOW" lenses are mounted in, chrome over pot metal) if you have one for sale.
  10. Awesome piece of machinery, just barely fit in my 20 x 26.5 garage (there's a barn door deep right corner); sorry about the Pontiacs.....
  11. Jason, was it wet or smelly, or displaying any fungus on the inside?
  12. Best of luck, Chuck! Visual field defects can indeed sometimes resolve after strokes. Handsome cars, especially that '67 LeSabre!
  13. Wow CJP, you found some great ones there. If that first maroon '95 in NJ were near me I would snag it in a heartbeat for my Aunt who's looking for such a thing. Damn!
  14. Bump. Great entry to the hobby: a loaded clean pretty top-of-the-line car for a low cost. Good car for a friend or relative to join the BCA with! Negotiable!
  15. Left two messages for you today Bill.
  16. There are not many people online that I stop and read just because that person is the poster. Matt is one.
