Also another tip. Bag and lable everything you take apart. Bolts, screws and everything else. Take and print picture of the before and after and put them in the bag. You will thank yourself in the later years.

Thank you to all that attended the Dual Meet in Charlotte. It was a great turnout of cars with at least one vehicle in every Class. And special thanks to all the Judges that responded to the call for additional judges needed.

Greg, I'll try to make it down as a spectator.

You never told us what state the vehicle is in and what state you are in. That is very important to obtain any kind of reliable information. If the seller states that it's easy to get a title on a bill of sale, then offer him a few hundred dollars extra to get the title. I think you will see the conversation change very quickly.

Crawl under the dash and see what is going on with the cables. Also pull the electric motor and see if it is traveling the full wipe distance.

I'm in North Carolina where it is very difficult without a title. Here a car without a title I valued as a parts car.

If your car had this option, It may have been removed when the wipers were converted to electric as it looks like this changed the vacuum routing on the vacuum wiper motor.

Other than the Dual Meet in Puerto Rico in 2022, I think the previous one was in Shelbyville, TN around 2014. They do not occur often.

On Buicks of the time, there is a small leaver labeled wide and narrow on the back side of the swithc. Narrow increased the speed of the vacuum wipers but narrowed the field of wipe. Has this switch been moved to the narrow position?

Replace your hoses to the front brakes. Sounds like one has swollen internally and won't let the fluid return to the master cylinder.

Look for disconnected vacuum lines. This system is largely controlled by vacuum motors. The factory shop manual will help you greatly in solving this.

You received the wrong tab. You should have received a tab that says ORIGINAL that mounts behind the HOPF oval. Contact Jon at National for the correct badge.

The number is the badge number which is linked to the car in the AACA National database. It is different from the AACA vehicle number.

That's the AC filter/drier.

Larry, I would recommend heading over to Scranton, PA and pick up I-81 and follow it to I-77 south of Ronoke, VA to Charlotte, then I-85 north to the Speedway. No tolls on this part of the route. An alternate route would be in Ronoke take US 220 to Greensboro, NC and then I-85 south to the speedway. US 220 is about 15 minutes longer, but a very nice divided 4 lane US highway with a 55 mph speed limit.. I-77 in the last 40 miles to Charlotte is usually very heavy traffic, and easy to get stuck for hours if there is an accident.

This car is painted in Sequoia Cream code 14 and the interior would be a correct, available interior combination for that color. However, the data plate shows paint code 5, which is Sherwood Green Poly. It appears that the data plate and serial number plate are mounted side by side. The data plate should be mounted on the firewall and the serial number on the drivers side A pillar. Also, Buick used sloted screws to mount both of these plates not pop rivets.

Yes a pet peeve of mine I'd love to buy your 32' Packard but my garage is only 22' deep. Can you discount to 22' since 32' won't fit?

'48 Roadmaster (Dynaflow) rear wheel seal leak
in Technical
Posted
I have done a 1947 Roadmaster several times and think your rear end is the same. On the 1947, your drain the rear axle by removing the differential rear plate. Then you push out a "C" clip that hold the axle in place. Then the axle can be removed. How did you remove the clip without draining the differential?
