I recently bought a original 1937 Buick . The car came from PA., is not rusty but has plenty of road grime, hard old grease and oil buildup. I want to clean it up real sanitary. The dry ice blasting looks great but I've gotten one price locally at $2200 -2500 $. Has anyone else used it?? Thank you mike

David, Have you tried to start the motor yet// ??? I wouldnt get all hung up on the questions you have posted/ Those answers are most likely lost to time. Keep in mind what the purpose of the build was..... to demonstrate and prove the friction drive and unique differential. I would clean it up, reassemble in its current state and get it runnable. Its a unique piece , show it off as is!! The car is more valuable and unique as is then with new paint and lipstick! Mike West

If someone wants a famous songwriters car , I've got Pat Ballard's Franklin. His bug song was MrSandman performed by the Chordettes! ( I think his notoriety was a flash the pan ) ..... smile

Years ago at the Franklin Trek the New England Boys arrived with Frank Netetoms car backfiring , loos of power ect . I reached down and touched the coil .it was on fire.... I poured some cold Budweiser on it and magically the coil worked again. Off the the NAPA he went and got a cheap universal 6 colt coil and problem was fixed.

I could sell that car to two different old boy collectors. The workmanship looks good and it's on a great platform. The car has to be appreciated for its workmanship, not the novel.

"Back in the day" [ hate that phrase] we just cleaned them up with fine crocus cloth. Never had to do one over.

What I was a kid I didn't have a hone for wheel cylinders or the master cyl. I used a piece of wood dowel , cut a slit in it and used a piece very fine emery cloth sliding the slit. It worked good.

Hi, I am trying to find people interested in parts for a 1937 Pontiac.
My uncle had visions of rebuilding one but only got as far as buying a bunch of parts before he passed away.
He had chassis, body, motor and various other parts.
Any idea how to best find a market for the parts?
Thanks.
Id like to see a picture of the gas tank if he has one/
-
The car has been advertised quite a bit already, not much to say about it anymore except that if he lowers the price another 5000 it will find a new home.

You really need to post photos……there were two different 360’s pre 1925 and then the later one.
Is it a small fire truck?

I realize the differential normally allows for different speeds of the axle or sprockets. Most cars only drive with one wheel, Hence if your right rear wheel is spinning in mud , the left side will not drive unless you have some kind of positraction or locked axle. The early chain drive cars must have had some type of limited slip or they only needed one chain. What am I missing when I try to construct this drive in my mind. I have asked this question in the past and never got a answer. Back in the Day this information was known by many but most have "Passed"
Don The drive you see here has spider gears no different than any differential. If you want to make up a chain drive assembley get your self a model T rear axle or any other early differential and cut down the tubes.

It can be either. To kill the motor you only need to ground the mag like any magneto.
