Yes. My 65 does both of those things.

If your car has factory a/c, it is probably the "Riviera rattle." I have it in my 65 and your description sounds just like what my car does.

Frank,
Please post your location. A forum member may know of someone in your area who could help you.

Try Tom VanMeeteren in Valley, Nebraska.
402-359-5762
He had everything I needed for my 1922 six cylinder.

On my 22-46 the data plate is on the left side of the driver's seat, just above the floor.

According to The Standard Catalog of Buick, the 1922 Buick has a serial number tag on the rear of the frame by the gas tank and repeated on the frame behind the left front wheel. The engine number is on the left side of the crankcase. My 1922 Model 46 also has a tag on the left side of the driver's seat with the model number stamped on it. My car is an unrestored original and does not have a "dash board data plate." Is this something that only the 4 cylinder cars had?

It also has the rare dual exhaust and power brake option package, installed on only 34,586 Rivieras in 1965.

I just voted again and got the message that I have voted for the final time. If nothing else, Fred, you have made us all aware of a great car (slight prejudice on my part). Please keep the forum up to date on how the restore is progressing.

Slipped back to 3rd. Come on Buick people; vote, vote, vote.

I just got off the phone with Greg Johnson. He saw Dave at the post office this morning and Dave said that he was swamped with inquiries. Send Greg at PM through this site at 2carb40 and he'll pass it along to Dave. He sees Dave about once a week.

I've actually voted three times today, and it has taken the votes each time. Try voting more often - it can only help.
What I don't understand is that the Buick has many more votes than the corvair, but is behind it in the rankings. I once owned a corvair (which is why I don't capitalize the name - it wasn't a real car) and I own a 1922 Buick and the Buick is a much more siginificant car.
-
I live about ten miles from Dave, and would be willing to contact him on anyone's behalf. I've never met him, but I have wanted to for some time. Either post here or send me a PM. I try to check this forum daily.

Apparently a person can vote more than once a day. I just voted and it says that I can vote again in 40 minutes.

TTT
Let's get out the vote!
-
I voted for your car. Us 1922 owners have to stick together. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the completed project.

The battery box on my 22-46 coupe is the same.

For ignition parts try Tom VanMeeteren - 402-359-5762 - tsvanmeet@huntel.net.
I got everything I needed for my 1922 from him.

My 65 has 225/75R15 tires and they rub the frame at steering lock. I'm going to 215s when I get new tires.

I have a shirt-tail relative who works for a plating company. Company policy is that the employees put their name on every piece they plate, so if there is a problem, they know who did the work.

G'Day, Mate!
On my 65, the rubber slides into a chrome plated piece which is glued to the forward edge of the rear window. The chrome is visible from both outside and inside the car.
