John, The orig. Jaxon rims did not have attatched clamps, both the clincher and the straight side rims used the same clamp/wedge. As for the drive, there are at least 3 types drives used by all the diferent mfgs. Sleeve drive(uses the same hole as the valve stem),dowel drive (a large round pin that fits in a hole in the wheel felloe),and saddle drive(a u shaped part of the rim latch). I do not have a pic. of the #11a rim to see what the drive was. You could make them sleeve drive, make a sleeve to fit through the valve stem hole, you will have to bore out the hole in the wheel felloe, Firestone used sleeve on a lot of the rims they made.

Jaxon # 11A SS is a straight side, direct replacement, for your Jax#11 rims and uses the same wedges. Jax#11 was used on Chevrolet490,Dort,Maxwell,and Overland. The problem with using a different rim is the drive pin etc. that is used to lock the rim to the wheel(with out it the rim will spin and break the valve stem). Good luck finding a set of rims.

This is a long time comming. I have a 1922-55 Sport Touring and can't wait to finish the restoration and get it on the road. Also need a correct steering wheel (walnut wheel) same as 23. JB in MA

It's about time, great!!!The nickle era with 2 wheel brakes needs this, they are almost forgotten, we don't fit in with the brass era groups or the later cars with 4 wheel brakes. I have a 1922 Buick Sport Touring 22-6-55 in the final stages or restoration,(at least it's in one piece)and look forward to this new forum.

The wheel catalog I have shows a Jaxon disc and a side ring, prev. years use a Tuarc wheel, my 22-55 has Tuarc wheels. Disc on a 29 could be rare. Chech the 29buick web site. John B 1922-6-55 Sport Touring

Buick 6's 23 and under do not have a seperate cyl. head, no gasket, your problem is most prob. the radiator as D BINGER said. I am restoring a 22 Sport Touring, any thing I can do to help email, john@galapanet.com 1922-6-55

I bought a Buick body from him in the early 70's and he was very pleasant and gave a tour of his many barns full of cars. It was winter and he was melting snow for water, pipes frozen, a single 25 watt bulb in each room for light. But he seemed happy and comfortable. The autogyro was hanging in the barn next to the house, and a lot of DV32 parts were in the little school house. I hope there are more savers out there like him. JB 1922 Buick Sport Touring

The speedo you have is for 1922-23 Buick Sport Touring and Sport Roadster models 54 and 55. If it is for sale I need one. I am restoring a 1922-55 email john@galapanet.com loc. MA

The Buick in the pic is not a 1916. It is a 1912 or 1913. A 1912 roadster just sold on ebay for 13900, it was in fair cond. older rest. Is this car a brass car with gas head lights, and ker. side and tail? 1915,1916 would have electric lights. Also the term B37 indicates a 1914 Touring. JB

Clair in West Roxbury must be the third. Audi and Porsche was the clue for me. John Beatty 22-6-55

What year sport touring do you need parts for,22,23,or 24 john@galapanet.com 22-6-55

The split rims were painted black, I think that started around 1927. jbbuick22 22-6-55 Sport Touring

The last year for Buick trucks was 1923.<BR>What you have is a prob. a cut down sedan.<BR>Wheel base and or frame# would help id.<BR> jbbuick22

All bright parts are chrome on a 31, rad., headlights, door handles,bumpers, and poss stering column. As for the straps they are probaly made of leather matching the seats and door panels.<BR> jbbuick22

If you have intact leather try to use it, I don,t think you will find leather that looks like that. Check <A HREF="http://www.colorplus.com" TARGET=_blank>www.colorplus.com</A> for products to restore the orig. leather. The orig should be maroon.,also I have many spare mech. parts for 22-55. Is yourcar running now? If you need help email me.<BR>You should check Dave Chambers article in Antique Automobile March 1972,<BR>jb buick22

The Sport Roadster and Touring were painted a deep maroon with black fenders , and body stripe of bright red. If it has wood wheels<BR>or wire wheels they were the same bright red, also the running board mat was red. <BR>The rad. shell,windshield,wind wings, steering column, shift lever, hand brake handle, headlights ,and hood tie downs are all nickle plated not chrome.<BR>As for the leather it is a red ,specially embossed in sort of a circular pattern, itis on the dash,doorpanels,andfront kick panels.<BR>I have aparts book 1923 and I am restoring a <BR>1922 Sport Touring. If you need any more info<BR>I'd be glad to help. jbbuick22 Sherborn MA
