Could it be for sidewalks?

Maybe easier to look at.

I know of at least one person that drives his car with plate glass and will not replace it because "it was built that way and it lasted over 100 years" IMO, crazy position, but it is his car, and his and his passengers life he is rolling the dice on.

Playing outside years ago I also believe helped developed a lot of immunity to what is now a rash of allergies, asthma, and other illnesses that were rarely heard of before. Also peanut butter allergies comes to mind when one student has the peanut allergy and every student in the school no longer can have a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for lunch hundreds of individuals if not thousands are affected. Contributing to this allergy issues from what I have read is that our houses are considered "super clean" compared to years past. That does not mean they were dirty, but all summer long windows were open because no a/c, not sealed as tight as today, etc.. Added that kids do not play outside extensively like we used to results in what we have today. Just IMO, but there appears to be a lot of data to support that position.

The GM Heritage Center is being moved from the location about five miles north of the GM Technical Center in Warren to the old headquarters of GM Service Parts & Customer Care Center in Grand Blanc. It is a great location and facility for the collection because it puts the Heritage Center about 6 miles from the Sloan Museum which has a lot of Buick historical material and GM Factory One which is consider the birthplace of GM because that is where the money came from for the formation of Buick and eventually General Motors. Here is where Customer Care was located and the Heritage Center is moving to. https://www.mlive.com/news/flint/2021/03/gm-to-shut-down-cca-world-headquarters-in-grand-blanc-township-900-employees-affected.html Here is a link to The Sloan Museum https://sloanlongway.org/sloan/ And GM Factory One https://www.gmfactoryone.com/product/public/us/en/factory-one/home.html

The truck has the headlights on, ramps still down, must be still trying to see if it works,

I had a bunch of them as company cars in the early 80's. Good road cruisers, but they were big.

What Heritage Collection in what location?

Thanks for the information.

Building today.

What is it?

Does anyone recognize this image on this radiator cap? It is on a dog bone style cap. Thanks,

There are definitely some not sharp pencils in the box. Looks like a Buick 6 cylinder water tube. I don't have a 6 cylinder Buick, but it looks similar to the 4 cylinder water tube.

I would tend to disagree that as a blanket statement. Yes there may be a few individuals that may not have perfect expertise, but the vast majority know what they are talking about from experience on this forum. Probably the one weak area might be electrical, but not much. Many individuals have been helped in their endeavors to keep their vehicles running.

If it were mine, I would use the original paper wheel made by the original company that made them the first time. The mechanism of the "transmission" was designed by the vehicle engineers for that paper part and if you use a different material it probably has a different coefficient of friction that may put different stresses on the rest of the system maybe leading to a failure somewhere in the drivetrain when engaged. Just IMO.

Now Alex, why are still asking the question again. The plug to use is the Champion 598 or Champion W89D which are basically the same plug. Talk to the individuals that have driven those cars THOUSANDS of MILES. Talk to Brian Heil for a reference if you are not sure. He can tell you his experience with different plugs.

Here are the bolts that you use to attach your running boards to the vehicle brackets. https://www.google.com/search?q=elevator+bolts&client=opera&hs=Hvo&sxsrf=AJOqlzVmOIxTBmhCh0-PeAcDcjT-uUgj-A:1673719159221&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiFo8Hf0cf8AhUNlGoFHZ_sBCcQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1709&bih=854&dpr=1.1

Where are you located?

That's not a kit, that is a package.

Yup, and I know about "the shake kit"

Try NAPA or Lang's Model T parts. https://www.modeltford.com/pl.aspx?t=s&v=distributor caps&page=1

Dealers did not start putting window stickers on car. The manufacturers in the US were required to place the stickers on the car starting in 1958. Not all countries require a window sticker even at this point in time. Here is some information on the stickers. When did Monroney labels start? Oklahoma Senator Mike Monroney was concerned by what he saw and stepped in to do something about it. Senator Monroney sponsored a bill called The Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958 that required a new type of label be affixed to the window of every car sold in U.S. This sticker was to include certain details about the vehicle and its pricing to enable consumers to bargain with dealers on even footing. The new disclosure requirement changed the car buying experience forever and the window labels soon came to be known as Monroney labels.

I agree. We drive our pre WW1 cars all of the time. We put over 1,600 miles on our 1913 last year alone. Several hundred miles on our 1915 Buick truck.
