I did some wheels with the Preval system and they turned out nice.
-
With a starting price of $12,500, not sure there is going to be much to watch......
Yep.
-
I believe on Wikipedia, that would be called "citation needed".

GPS doesn't lie. The glare really is annoying on long trips.

Yes sir.
The Century style was a factory option in the Special, just to be clear.
-
Specials came standard with the needle. The Century style has the trip odometer which is handy. I installed one when I restored my Special and while I like the trip meter, the disc reflects light from white shirts making the speed difficult to read.

Staged is different than fake in my mind. It absolutely looks like 1947.
-
The seasons greetings sign makes sense, due to the snow on the ground. It seems staged to me also. Probably promo.

Adam Martin (Smartin) suggested to grab the nut with channel locks and rotate the booster from the firewall side. This worked like a charm for me.

Anywhere from $580-$750.

Hurry up, then.

JZ, the reason I even posted anything here is that I was very impressed with the ease and speed of the entire process.
Now to find a 65...
-
...and four days later, this arrived.

I'd still get Harrison tank recored locally.
This is what I was referring to in the General thread. The fact that an aftermarket radiator is now being produced is excellent for us Buick guys. Even without the original stamping, this is cheaper than the last one I had recored. For driver cars, this is spectacular news.

Thanks for that link, Lamar.
-
I have a Newport unit on my driven wagon. Works great. Looks like a modern aftermarket piece. It's fine, but obvious.
It sounds like you are talking yourself out of the 58. It is a modern car compared to your 39's but a dinosaur compared to your Riv. All of these problems are solvable if you like the car. If you don't love the car, then don't waste your time and money.

I agree with the way it is being taken care of. I have never liked "visible" surveys. I think people still vote, but possibly vote differently if the up to the minute results are known.

Thank you Bill
-
And if he wants to keep the frumpy more door, I'll give him a third of $4k for this^^^
Again
-
That is why I said to keep that one.
Duh

Technically (allegedly) the fillers in the valve covers (late 55- 56) breathe better. The shields on top (54-early 55) look better. Again, no difference in "down the line" resale.
The generator is mostly valuable because of the double pulley. IF it hasn't been monkeyed with, it should put out more amps than a stock generator due to the AC requirements. Sell the power steering pump to Lamar or one of those 54 guys since it has the early lid AND the AC only pulley which he is hoarding.

Snoqualmie?
Numbers don't match on this era of Buick, so it will make no difference.
Truly, keep the one you are most excited about. If it doesn't give you a buzz when you see it, you will want to hit it with a hammer when something goes wrong.
Welcome aboard, Paul.
Ya know, if it WAS SMS fabrics, everybody would have wanted to be your friend.
-
Oh, Mr. Earl...
I will now use the excuse of not seeing the other pictures. The lack of interior was not of concern to me since his handle is SMS Paul. Maybe I'm wrong
Of course there is no reason to "toss" the sedan, but if any cash is spent on any car I would go with the 2 dr hardtop.
If you just want to tool around and enjoy an old car then the Century is what I always refer to as the "best car you can afford". i.e. needs the least.
-
The numbers are confusing me. Maybe it is coffee deficiency.
What I would do is put running engine in the Super. Keep that car.
Rebuild the Super engine (if possible...like you said) and install in the Century.
Sell the Century fast. If you end up spending $5k on the engine rebuild, that is (at least) a grand more than you will get for a four door sedan. Even the parts aren't very valuable on the Century since very little crosses over to more desirable hardtops and convertibles.
