1937-44

Mine is the green 37 Buick, green and white 54 Buick or 32 Auburn.

Yes, even after Bob sold his Packard he still came down and sat with us The Packards I can think of that would come down were also Ed's red 1953 (sold), Harry Davis's 1953 yellow convertible (his son brings it on occasion) Bud's hearse, Tom's 55 (sold) Mike's 1941 which he sold years ago. There were a few others that occasionally made. Mine seem to somewhat rotate going down but were generally close to Bob's car. Stop in and say Hi sometime lately we've been parking in front of the church so we get some shade. Carl

Bob was a lifelong Packard enthusiast and drove his 1954 Patrician a lot of miles for a lot of years. His byline was seen in many Packard publications. He was also a Packard literature collector and vendor. Living in Akron he could usually be found Monday nights at the Don Sitt's Cuyahoga Falls Cruise in. Here is the obituary of my friend; https://www.beaconjournal.com/obituaries/pwoo0641036

For that price I believe it deserves better, but then I might be somewhat biased.

Amazing the steering wheel is as nice as it appears.

My condolences to you and your family.

What are you asking?

Hello Claudia, Sorry to hear that scammers have already gotten you. I'm surprised nobody has given you Dave Tacheny's info yet. "He Does Not" do business through the computer but he specializes in pre-war Buicks and especially 1937 and 1938 Buicks. I've known of him to ship parts overseas and he is fair. Dave Tacheny is in Champlin, MN. He is old school:- no email. The best way to contact him is to call him between 4 and 7 pm Central at 763-427 3460. You can also write him a letter. His address is 11949 Oregon Ave N., Champlin, MN 55316. Good luck. Carl

Hi Dave, My mistake. I would say 1 1/4 inch.

I don't know if this makes sense but here goes. Length about 46 inches Diameter is by my calculations 5/8's of an inch but the sending unit is somewhat squared off Thread appears to be 18 per inch NF? Carl

Newer lower radiator replacement hoses are of a thinner material and can collapse. Buy a generic radiator hose spring and put it in the lower hose.

Doubt it is taught anymore, but not really a big deal, even though I still use them. Around here seems like half the population don't care if you use them or not as they can't even use modern turn signals.

Separate the rim only as much as necessary. You don't want to bend/ kink the rim.

But if it's a 4 lobe cam wouldn't the timing be the same for both sets of points if they were synchronized?

What years were the c-4 with the brass cap used?

I think when they say lens and body retainer they are talking about the trim which is part of the lens retainer if I recall correctly. 1937 and 1938 use different trim.

The early 1937 lens was also clear on the tip.

I have these two steering wheel center buttons but don't know what years. Looks to me like someone or time removed the paint on yours.

A modern replacement for the Champion c-4 is Champion W-18 and slightly colder is the Champion W-16.

Baffin Green and I think that's Lido Green make for a nice combination. I'm pretty sure in 1954 they didn't do the tri tone color scheme which is a pity as it looks nice that way.

Walmart bought Jet in 2016 which was an online retailer to break into the online business. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet.com) Later they decided to just incorporate it into their Walmart.com business.

Thanks for the correction. Guess my memory was off a little.

Sold.

If memory serves me correctly the plug is 7/8 14. I believe the Champion W-18 is a direct replacement with the Champion W-16 fitting but a little cooler. There is an adapter available through old Ford supply places that I've used for checking compression but I've never used one for a spark plug. HOOK corrected me and he is correct. They are 7/8 - 18.

Hi Mike, I will give you a call late afternoon/early evening. Carl
