Earlier there was a post similar to yours, and one of the comments was to add a 1/4 oz of marvel mystery oil to every gallon of gas , this helps to slow done the boiling point and conversly the evaporation of the fuel in the bowl. I haven't tried it but it can't hurt. My 50 starts a little hard after it's been off for a while, but always starts with tha pedal to the floor. Jim, hope to see you in Kokomo with your 46s.

Another one around Flint, listed in the west MI chapter classifieds. Contact Jack Mc Carthey 810-664-3401. Don't know if it's still available,but a call should answer if it is or not.

Wisdom,always wisdom from the Old Guy, always nice to hear the voice of reason. Don I hope you sell your 55 soon to someone who will enjoy the fruits of your labor.

I use shock absorber oil that i bought at Carquest, also called jack oil. Yes it is thin, but you don't need a heavy oil in thare.

More than likely the water pump is bad. The seal is going bad, when it's cold it will leak, as the motor warms up so does the seal, and the leak slows or stops. If you can get under the car, shine a light up on the bottom of the waterpump, there's a weep hole where the fluid usally leaks out. Sometimes on the V-6 engine the front motor case will corode and leak antifreeze also. Happy hunting

Congratulations James, on a search well done. Hope all works well and aaany further searches goes easier. Sleep tight and dream of a nice spring day and that first ride.

Pete, where are you located at and is the car there also?

James, great choice in an automobile, I have one of my very own. I have heard good things about CARS in NJ, I believe, have never tried them myself. Is there anything in specific that you can't find or just looking for another source? e-mail me @ robberbach@cs.com Mark

At the natoinals in Buffalo I picked up a card from Richard Gumm (740-374-8169) BCA#1337 He does steering wheel restorations, hope this helps.

Bob's automobilia has them listed in his catalog at $32.00 per pr. Bob's (805) 434-2963. He'll be glad to fix you up. Hope you enjoy your sedanet, I love mine.

Had a similar problem with the brakes on the wife's 62 caddy. Sent the booster out to Power Brake Exch. Inc in San Jose CA. (1-800-322-1775) Had it back in less than two weeks and works great. Had a buddy send his for his 59 Caddy and he is happy too.

Joe, I thoght we'd just pitch a tent in your back yard , and make a weekend of it. I, called Al Barker in Fenton about that 37 and hope to get up there around Thanksgiving.

Trying to find a trunk lid for a 1937 model 46 coupe. Anyone have one or any leads where to find one? e-mail me @ robberbach@cs.com

A friend of mine is looking for parts for his 59. You left no way to get back with you , so here is my e-mail Robberbach@cs.com Let me know what you have and a phone no. and I'll let him know. thanks

Thanks for the info, always wondered what that pocket was for.

On my 1950 Buick model 46D I have a hand hood latch opener that I use in the porthole. I've seen other 50 Buicks with hood pull cables in the drivers compartment. What is the difference? Is it a mid year change or what? I've seen the pulls on all models of 50's.

Yes there is in Nottawa, north west of Sturgis on M-86. Name of the place is Waldron's Exhaust. Phone no. is 1-800-503-9428.

Have you tried <A HREF="http://www.nada.com" TARGET=_blank>www.nada.com</A> this will give you a ballpark figure and deal from there.

I believe I know where a complete 1950 41D is at. The guy also has a 46D that I'm interested in for parts. e-mail me at robberbach@cs.com The guy won't sell just one he wants to be rid of both at the same time. Cars are located north of Indianapolis about an hour. I'll do some more checking,today. 1950 Buick 46D

I have a 50 Special sedanet and wouldn't trade it for anything. Where is car located at, maybe you could get someone around there to give you a second opinion? If yoy are looking for a parts car for this one I know where one is located, but you have to take two 50 Buicks. Good luck and offer him $ 1500.00 and see if he takes it.
