Get rid of those add on head rests.

I drove my 1955 Buick 30 miles in the morning and then rotated my tires and lubed my front wheel bearings when I got home.

Took out the '56 for a 30 mile trip.

On a hot day {90*} my '55 will run around 195*

Today, I drove my 1956 Buick to a car show in Ahwahnee, California. Total mileage was 30. The car runs great after I had the carburetor rebuilt.

You don't need a power brake booster for the disc brake setup?

I took the '56 to town for lunch. 35 miles.

I have been using the Autolite 85s for the last 20 years in all of my Buicks with no problems.

My steel plate is burned out and I have a friend with a CNC to cut a new one out for me.

There is a steel plate and a gasket that goes between the intake manifold and the carburetor. Which one goes next to the manifold the plate or the gasket?

On the '55 and '56 Buick Century's with the WCFB carburetors there is a steel plate and a gasket that go between the intake manifold and the carburetor. Which one goes next to the manifold; the steel plate or the gasket?

I took the '56 to our car club breakfast at Steve's Sportsmen's restaurant in Mariposa, CA. Total of about 35 miles.

All old Buicks leak.

I have a grille emblem and "V" in good condition. $50 plus shipping.

I installed front sway bars that were an inch in diameter. They helped with the ride very much. Less front end roll.

There was a guy named "Booster Dewey" who was in Redding, CA or in Oregon that rebuilt power brake units.

I like my old Buicks stock. I do appreciate modified Buicks and other makes, but I do not like being put in the same class with them at car shows.

I do not run any regular 87 octane gasoline in any of my cars not even my lawn mower. It's crap. I run premium 91 octane in everything.

I do not run regular 87 octane gas in anything even my lawn mower. I run premium 91 octane in everything. When I had my 1965 Wildcat I ran a 50/50 mixture of 100+ LL Av gas and 91 octane premium and it ran great. Good gas mileage and lots of power.

All old Buicks will leak.

I use one oz. of Lucas Power Steering Leak Stop.

Buick did not weld any part of the exhaust system. They were all clamped or bolted.

I don't think so.
