Was it for customers, or employee families? Sounds more like recognition for families that have worked for Buick for multiple generations.

Maybe this will save your neck.

Do you know the story of this picture? I would imagine it is interesting.

I would run a separate wire from the battery negative terminal back to the fuel tank sending wire. That would be a good ground. Anything else is suspect. If the gauge still shows full, then take that wire and touch it to the back of the gauge where the tank unit wire is attached. If the gauge still shows full, then a bad gauge.

How did you test the grounds? If you did just an ohm check for continuity, you may show a ground, but not a good ground. The best way to check a ground for ability to handle current is to connect one side of a headlight bulb to the ground at the tail light connector and the other side directly to the battery. The headlight should shine bright. If not, you have the possibility of only two or three strands of a multi-strand wire connected and the rest of the strands broken and not making contact. An additional test while having the headlight connected is to connect the negative wire of a volt meter to the negative battery cable. Then with the positive lead see what the voltage is on both sides of the headlight bulb. On the positive side of headlight, there should be battery voltage ( 6 or 12 volts depending on vehicle). On the ground side you should have maybe .1 or .2 Volts. If you have much more than that you have a bad ground circuit.

Take the wire from the fuel sending gauge that goes to the sending unit and ground it at the fuel tank. If the gauge still reads full you probably have an open wire between the fuel tank sending unit and the gauge in the dash. If you still have the gauge going to full, go to the gauge and ground the wire at the gauge that goes to the fuel tank sending unit. It should go to empty. If it goes to empty, fix the open wire/connection between the gauge and the fuel sending unit. If it still goes to full, you have a bad gauge with an open inside of the gauge.

I would call them. The might know the supplier or a supplier that can make you new decals. Y'a never know.

I did not see the pot of gold in Ireland either.

I had the same problem with on of the shackel bolts on one of my cars. I took a grade 8 bolt that had enough threads to match the ones that broke off. 1. Cut off the new bolt to match the length of the old/other side bolt. 2. Milled out the old bolt remains on the shackel with the space on the sides of the U 3. Fitted the new bolt in the milled out groove 4. Welded the new bolt to the old U, both the inside and outside of the U 5. Just make sure that you do not put the bolt in the center of the U. The inside of the bolt needs to match the flat inside. 6. Grind/finish the welding to match.

If you live in SE Michigan, I have an antique weaver tire machine. I would help you change your tire.

It looks like you found the answer.

Contact Ron Hausman. He is the Kissel go to guy. He is on this forum. https://forums.aaca.org/profile/101322-ron-hausmann/

The set up looks similar to the old Schwinn bike coaster brake system.

Translation: used in any car?

Looking at the wood rails that the engine is on, could it have come out of a car that had a wood frame, or was it used as a powerplant for something like a saw mill? What vehicles had a wood frame?

Picture looks like it was taken at the Henry Ford Museum/ Greenfield village.

Agree with Ft Wayne Clutch. They have done some work for me which was good.

Do you not get flyers in the mail? Many are made of newsprint. If not go to the local grocery store and grab their weekly flyer and use it. The Kroger near us uses news print.

I will try to go downtown this week and get some pictures.

I agree on getting a title first before working on car. Even though you say going into a private collection, don't leave a problem for a later date when the car will be passed on or sold. Cheaper and easier to fix now than later while you are still around.

What do the tubes look like?

Us baby boomers are reaping what we sowed with the next generation. As a group, our children's generation was such that everyone was a winner no matter how poorly they performed, everyone got a trophy and a certificate of excellence and they all went out for ice cream as a reward for "a good performance". I like greenie, I also had three of the 20% as all three of our offspring worked through college, helped pay the bill, graduated with ZERO loans and have the hustle to do a good job. Their mother and I are proud of all of them. We must have done something right.

Still have the "knock outs" in the keys with the key code on the knock out.
