    Mike is a good guy and the car went to a great home. I predict it will be running by next week.  

    Ed the old tires are dismounted, crankcase is drained, pan coming off in the morning, clean out the sump and inspect the bearings and it will be buttoned back up  by noon. Gas tank is off , fuel pump and carb kits on the way...  Wheel cylinders  and master next week..

    I would try Dave Tacheny. You can best reach him between 4 and 7 pm Central at 763-427-3460. If Dave does not have one, it might be a good time to join the 36-38 Buick Club. We have other members who advertise parts for sale in the club newsletter. My draft of the March/April issue of the club newsletter has a member who has a number of parts for sale, including a 1937 320 spark plug cover.  https://3638buickclub.org/

    Thank you, The seller found the original cover and gave it to me.

  3. My dad bought his 1930 Franklin in 1958 at the Watkins Glenn Grand Prix races. He loved the power and was hooked on the Franklins. When I was growing up dad still had the car until i was 10. He sold it in 1968 to a local electrician . He let the car sit , at least in dry storage, until I convinced him to sell it to me. I still have  it. Dad had  2 different Packard in the early 30s, but prefered the Franklin to them. Yes he influenced me.

    Update from OB of Steering Wheel Bob.

    I spoke with Bob Monetti today and received sad news from him. His Christmas and Holidays were not cheery. His wife took sick a while before Christmas and progressively got worse and worse until she passed two days ago. Her funeral will take place tomorrow. Bob told me that they had been married for 63 years. What a nice tribute to a marriage commitment! My condolences and sympathy go to Bob and his family at the passing of his wife. He is planning to get back to his steering wheel restoration business as soon as possible, with his son, as he feels being busy with something, that he is good at and is uplifting, will help him cope with this sad time.

    Al, Thats very sad news. Bob is a great guy!. He is correct to stay busy. 

  5. $100 per space is a bargain. Today 2 couples cant hardly go get a nice lunch for 100 bucks unless your at a popular chain place with a clown on the sign. Then you need to question the origin of the meat!. The group doesnt chatge general admission  and im betting that is a discussion  that has been had.
