Thanks Brian , That sounds great for the outside venders ! Bill

Are the outdoor vender spaces on grass or macadam ?? I would like to put up a small canopy. Thanks Bill

THANK, Found a sealed quart of dextron ATF in the garage . Bill

Type A is called for but can I add dextron II or III to the existing fluid ?? Bill

Very nice Buick. Had one just like it ( Black ) and second gear pulled past 60 with no problem !!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill

Larry, Fred called me this morning about his accident . It was a hit and run ! Sad that he doesn't want to take the wagon to Allentown because of the mishap . I told him everyone has a fender bender and that his wagon is still very sharp !!!! He said he would buy a NOS unit if one is out there. Bill

ttt 1 or 2 wheels as stated above. PM me with Pics and price Bill

Larry, The car sat in the New Mexico sun all its life and the seats exploded . I have the original seats, basically. The springs are like new but everything else is toast. I bought the front and rear seats in very nice shape , front bolted in and the rear needs a little work to fit. I will never restore this Buick to be original, It would be $30000 + to do this car and the finished value would be mid 20's at best. I'm going to enjoy it for what it is , a very solid old car to have fun with ! Bill

Mark I hope to be at the tech session Sunday, Will talk then Bill

That is the standard wheel on a 55 Special , optional had the horn ring . This car has p steering , dynaflow but no radio ,no back up lights , std steering wheel , clear glass all around and dog dish hub caps. A New Mexico car with no rust holes and original chrome !!!!! Bill

Up date on my 55 century 2 dr sedan clone. I have 2 of the 15 x6 wheels mounted on the wider tires , a used front seat out of a 53 2 dr sedan in very good shape , emblems and portholes mounted and nos dog dish caps. Had a dent in the left front fender . Need to buy a water pump and install the new hoses ( all the trans cooling lines, heater and defrost ). I have the 3 duce manifold and carbs, air cleaners etc, but not installed. I'm not liking the red wheels but leaving the patina look with a satin clear , it may grow on me. I hope the cars I park next to at Allentown understand that their Buick can't catch anything from my Buick !!!! My granddaughter said "that looks like TOWMATHER mother " So this is 'BERTHA BUICK" , TOWMATERS MOM ! PS Still looking for 2 15 x6 wheels 1948 to 55 Bill

tempting just for the wheels !!! Bill

Still looking for 1 or 2 wheels PM with pics & price Thanks Bill

My 55 buick sat for some years and has heavy rust build up in the cooling system. I had to change a freeze plug in the block and notice the very heavy rust . Any ideas on removing the rust without boiling the block ????? I have the water pump and water manifold ( thermo housing ) off. Bill

Well I started the bidding , see how long it will hold up . Bill

1953 Roadmaster and Skylark used the same style air cleaner as the 54 thru 56 Buick with the 4 barrel carb . Bill

Ed, The wheels will go on a 1955 Special Clone to a Century ( model 68 ). The centers are the same from 46 (maybe 42 big series) to 1955 ( some 56's) with the guide pin hole, 5 slots and a small round hole next to the slots. The big difference is 5 1/2 " width and 6" width. Thanks Bill

Thanks, Looking for just rims Bill

Looking for 15" x 6" Buick steel wheels. I think 48 to 55 are the same ,that is , 5 slots for dog dish caps with a small round hole next to the slot . I will pick them up if you are 300 to 350 from Baltimoe Md. Thanks Bill Lagna Bca 3030

Look on the firewall at the body plate, either 41(special) or 61( Century) Everything else can be added or changed . bill

looking for 15" x 6" Buick steel (painted) wheels , 1955 or earlier ( back to 48 or 47 ). not looking for rusty wheels , but something nice condition that I could repaint. mid-Atlantic would be great! Thanks Bill

The spinner and trishield emblem are after market, not original Buick. You might check Jegs , Summit or ebay for an item like it .

I had some knee problems starting in Sept that kept me from rolling around on the garage floor. After my third operation in Feb , things are starting to look up !!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill

Hi Mark, WOW!!! They did a great job installing the 66 engine in your 56 BUICK. The outside looks as good as it did at the BOOM picnic last summer. The under hood is " OUT OF BOUNDS " , just a great job !!! Bill

maybe someone could post the link. Wild !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
