Hello everyone...I am in the process of restoring the bottom, front seat frame for a 1937 Pontiac Touring Sedan. Given a box of seat hardware, I have begun to attach seat guides and runners to the bottom of the seat frame and the car floor. My attachment shows 2 springs which I need help positioning and fastening to the seat assembly. Does anyone have an exploded diagram from a Master Parts catalogue, or your own photos of a similar rebuild, or any info as to where the springs are attached to the underside of the seat frame? Thanks for any help you can give me in my restoration...Dave atta

Gentlemen... I am using the 1953 Pontiac Master Parts Catalog: Harmonic Balancer-- 1935 thru 1953 P/6 S.S. part # 511498... 1937 thru 1953 P/8 S.S. part # 511499... 1953 P/6 P.S. part # 517357 and 1953 P/8 P.S. part # 517358. Hope this helps... Dave

tcslr... I know some fellows in the model train hobby who use water decals in restoring their train cars and engines. Their procedure is to start with a clean, gloss surface. Apply the water decal, then apply a product called SOLVASET manufactured by Walthers. It is a liquid which will allow you to gently slide the decal into its final position and then draws the decal down to "set it" in position. The excess will evaporate. Then they will apply a satin finish over it to seal it. I believe this would work for you. Good luck... Dave

Mbeitner... I am looking at the Ninth Revised Edition of a Hollander Manual and it lists the Stutz '28 BB, '29-'31 M, Large 8, and '32-'33 M 8 as using the same generator. The number listed is a #391 with the armature # of 37826. Hope this helps... Dave

Pont 46... I am looking at a 1953 Master Parts Catalog in the group # given(6.750). The listing in the catalog covers 1939 to 1953. There is no part number that matches what you provided. Are you missing a 0 which would be 508039? That lists the steering column bracket as 1942 thru 48 model 26 all. No mention of model 25 Hope this helps... Dave

Bob... would Ross Pistons be of any help? I have had them make pistons and rings for a different application.

Auto Showcase... I have found the following information using a Hollander Manual, Ninth Revised Edition. Using your reference # MN 4109... Hupp '26-27 Ser. A, Taxi '28 A #A-75001 Up '28-29 A Cent. 6 No other listings. The armature # listed for this starter is MN2038 and only fits the above autos. I hope this helps... Dave

Joe P. I found the following in my Master Parts Catalog: R.H. 4113925 and L.H. 4113926 for the 1941 29 Series. Hope this helps... Dave

Jim.. Using the Ninth Edition of the Hollander Manual, the 633E distributor was used in the 1928 Chandler Std.6 and the 1929 Chandler Std.65. No mention of it being used in pre-war Buicks. Hope this helps... Dave

rjp... andygarage@comcast.net... cell 302-245-7276... www.wiseandysgarage.com This is the contact info for Andy Wise who has advertised services for cone clutch relining with soft Kevlar.

This beautiful Oakland Landaulet sedan shows up annually at Das Awskcht Fescht in Macungie, PA and has earned its AACA Grand National as well as a Gold Senior through POCI (Pontiac Oakland Club International).

Thanks Ed for the photos. The first photo reminded me of the General Motors offerings in 1929 of the Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Oakland Landaulet Sedans. That Lincoln is a beautiful car.

Thank you Ed for the wonderful pictures. In the 6th photo down, there is a picture of a 4 door sedan with the landau top down at the rear quarter. What is that vehicle? Any other pictures of this car? Thanks... Dave

Hello everyone... It is with sadness that I pass along the information that our dear Pontiac friend Kurt passed away this past February. May he rest in peace.
