    Yes, it is a public place.  Spectators have always been welcome at the Buick Nationals free of charge.  You will see a lot of people wandering around the show field on Saturday when the cars are all parked in their spots for judging.

    I hope to count myself among the number "wandering around the show field on Saturday" and getting to meet a few of you folk!

  2. A couple of thoughts, + 1:

     

    Clutch alignment tools, the wooden dowel looking type are very inexpensive; get one.

     

    Could it be that the clutch plate is installed backwards, causing the problem?

     

    Is the tranny close enough to the bell housing that the transmission bolts may be started and tightened?  If yes, perhaps so doing so in gradual, alternating, steps may function to pop it in place? 

     

     

  3. It was stated:   only the "ACDelco.com" was blue-underlined, as in this sentence, rather than the whole string ending in ".html".

     

    Well, here is that entire link -

    http://www.ACDelco.com/auto-parts/vehicle-maintenance.html.

     

    Clicking on it does not yield anything but a 404 Not Found Error?

     

    I am not trying to be difficult or cause trouble.  I am just confused in terms of what is going on.  I will now stop beating a dead horse and drop this matter.

     

     

  4. Is it me or what.  In all 3 of these similarly titled posts all I see is a bunch of gobbley-gook code, no pics.  How does one ID anything from it?

  5. I once owned a 1963 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 convertible that had an in-dash radio with a TV band.  It was nice to be able to listen to programs like the Huntley-Brinkley Report during drive time at the end of the work day.

    Thx Dave M., for fixing the photos.

    The group is standing in front of a 1936 Hudson "Terraplane", which is stamped on the Hub caps. 

    It appears to be a two-door sedan and is listed in Conde's Hudson book as a "Terraplane DeLuxe Touring Brougham".

     

    Hmm, I wonder, is it a 7 passenger 2-Door Sedan?  B)

    What was the first car you ever drove? What was the car you took your driver test in? The first car I ever drove was a 1928 Ford Model A Roadster. I was just old enough to reach the pedals.

    1st car ever drove:  A 1948 Oldsmobile Futramic 98 (driven in the cemetery)

    Took Driver License Test in a 1956 Oldsmobile 98

    One thing I have found about dealers: the same car is often listed many places and if one has no price, another may. Second, given a VIN, you can find out a lot about a car, mostly for free. Everything from a broadcast sheet to a complete history of the car to the current title status. True, the older the car, the harder it is but back into the '50s it is all there if you know where to look.

     

    The key to buying any car is research so that you know exactly what you are looking for/at.

     

    I just researched a purchase for a friend.  I found the car listed in multiple places; one place claimed the car had 85K miles while another listed it as having 108K miles!  I also found it listed at a  price of $36K and an auction no sale high bid of $22k.

     

    It was interesting to see the various locations where the car resided, the various prices and a bit disconcerting to see the mileage discrepancies.
