My '40 had no air outlet.
Thanks for letting me know ! I guess you have to be very carefull when you go to the gas station .All the pictures i find on the net do not show that fine pipe like on the 1941 from previous post .

Today i poured gas into the tank and the gas came back out when i poured to fast .I would be afraid to go to a gas station and fill it up without going very slow .I looked at new gas tanks from same year and i don't see anything that lets the air escape when you pour in gas .Like on Mercedes cars from the sixties there is a tube on top of the tank that let the air escape .Down here the air has to come out via the same pipe that you put the gas in and then you spill the gas together with the escaping air .....

Are you talking about the small pin perpendicular to the kingpin that intersects the kingpin bore in the knuckle and holds the kingpin in place? I think it is item "AG" in the figure...
Hallo ,no its not that pin .I looked at ebay and there you can buy ,, lower outer pin kit,,and there is the problem.The king pin is moving freely on the outer pin kit , the king pin sits now completely in the front on the bushing instead of in the middle like on the other side .I did not take it apart yet to see where the problem is .i hope the king pin bottom support is not worn out .

The kingpin L pivotes on AH bushing and is there a pin AG that keeps the kingpin in the middle of the bushing .I didn't know .At this moment the kingpin sits completely in the front of the bushing AH and not in the middle like on the other side .I take a good look tomorrow after i will clean the grease and dirt from the other side

Today i did have a new surprise The left king pin ( Front ) pivotes at the bottom of the pin on a treaded bolt .I see that the tread is gone and the pin moves freely front to rear or vice versa.What is a remedy for this problem .Other king pin support or new bolt ?

Did Belgium get the gastarbeiter program? I remember that was very controversial among the Mercedes club in the early 70's.
I never heard from the ''gastarbeiter program''.The cars they assembled in Mechelen rusted as hell because they did not have a bath to protect them agains corrosion .They came on the street without any rust protection .All the coupes came from Germany .

Much more interesting cars down there than this Fiat .Also see a red Fiat cvt on the left side .

I bought a 280SL like this one when I was on Vacation in Palm springs Ca years ago .A 6 runs good but the feeling of a 8 under your foot is MUCH better .Had to sell it because of my wife her back problems .Could also take another wife but I sold the car

Give the seller a call ... You may be surprised, or justified in your claim.
The ad is still up after two days..
If I was not in Belgium I would do that

I really like the '56 Packards and especially the 400 model. The interior certainly is attractive and to replace it would be quite expensive. I could see someone buying this car just to replace the interior in their car that is worn out. Looks like it would need paint and the door sills are questionable. At $2800 you could part it out and at least break even if not make a few dollars. GLWTS
I cannot understand that such car at this price is not sold after 5 minutes .

Very good thing to hide your licence plate number .Also don't give your phone number neither.I have no idea why i would hide my number if I want to sell.

If you buy an original 1940 Buick jack and jack stands, please use them for display only. If I recall correctly, the 1940 Buick jack has often been described as the most dangerous Jack ever sold. The 1937 Jack was no great prize. The 1938 one was totall different and quite unsafe too, but not quite as dangerous as the 1940 one was. I am not sure about the 1939 one. Buick apparently kept redesigning their Jacks and I guess they eventually found a design that was safe to use, but I have no idea what year they finally achieved that.

I guess I will have a hard time to find those jacks and second i have no intention to use those jacks if i ever have them .But I am glad that other people also know how dangerous it can be to change a flat tire .

Mine does not have that fine pipe and there is a rubber hose between the neck and the tank .
Mine is not the same and here you have a tank and neck in one piece .Mine has a rubber hose to connect both parts like in the Buick catalog
