My point about "digging up old bones" refers to when the content has changed to a totally different subject from the title, as in the referenced thread. If I needed information on tire sizes for my 65 I wouldn't look at a car for sale thread. Just my 3 cents (due to inflation).

Great find! Suggestion: go to the Pre-War site and join the Pre-War Division. Dues are zero. The director is Mark Shaw from Vancouver, Washington. The site and Pre-War Newsletter are excellent sources of information.

Case in point - Eric Wolf's thread from May 2010 - For Sale 65 Riv. This thread has excellent information about 65 tire sizes but someone needing this information wouldn't look at a for sale post. Start a new thread. It's easy, fun and correctly identifies the subject the thread addresses. Just my 2 cents worth.

Tip, post your location. There are scads of knowledgeable first generation Riv people all over. There may be someone nearby who could really help you, if we knew where you are.

Snow on the ground in July? I'm glad I live in tropical Minnesota:D.

The "identification" of the car is the model number; in this case 76-S. When you tell other Buick people that you have a 48 model 76-S they will both know what you are talking about and will be envious. Buick built 20,542 Roadmaster Sedanets in 1948 plus 107 for export.

To the forum moderator: How about making this post a "sticky?" The lack of location has been a pet peeve of mine, also.

I didn't have a camera with me that day. I have a friend with an anniversary gold Impala who lives about ten miles away. I'll give him a call this week and see if he has dug his car out of storage yet. If he has, I'll get a picture for you.

A couple of weeks ago at a car show with my sahara mist 65, a 63 anniversary gold Impala parked next to me. When by itself sahara mist looks really gold, but there was quite a difference when next to anniversary gold. Sahara mist kind of paled out.
I like the flat look and I admire those who are willing to try something different. Thanks for sharing.

You should have been at the Minnesota All-GM show two weeks ago - John and his brother (I think) with matching red 54 Roadmaster convertibles parked side by side. It was a sight for the ages.

The seat must be for John Kranitz (?)

No one offered to help at tonights meeting. If you send your request to our newsletter editor by Friday, Marge can put it in the July issue. Her e-mail is corkey7m2@comcast.net.

Hey, Lamar;
If you don't have a response by Tuesday, I'll mention your request at the Gopher State Chapter's membership meeting that evening. I know that we have some members who will be going.

My system shows that it was sent, and it hasn't come back as not deliverable.

e-mail just sent. I hope that it is what you need.

Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at it on Monday. It is still sealed in the original box and the person who has it gave me the numbers.

Does anyone know the application for this cruise control:confused:

I have a 93 and the diagrams are in the shop manual. If the 89 is the same and you don't have a shop manual, I can e-mail you copies of mine.

I see that the car has the rare flexible rubber air cleaner housing.

No Derek?
That does it. I'm not going.
