$500 - $800 is the range I have seen. The guy wanting $1500 will be keeping his: that's a complete parts car pricing They come up on ebay occasionally. And http://forums.aaca.org/f165/dave-tachney-341710.html sell them from time to time. Individual pieces are likely to be sets less that bits that crack or easily get lost/damaged (like the air cleaners). Dual setup for sale less air cleaners are not uncommon

Not much in way of interchange I am aware of: search for Hollands on ebay For parts the 1928 - 1941 Buick Master Chassis parts is easily obtainable, including reprints and/or CD I also have a 1928 - 1952 Buick Master Chassis parts book and look in both when checking part numbers [some part numbers change from the 1928-41). However a parts book 4-5 years after end your model year is best, as will have fast moving spares, and before its just an old car with a low value. So 1939+5+3 (for no WW2 production) = 1947. No idea if a late 40's Master Chassis parts book was published There is also the Master Body parts book that is a companion to the chassis book. The 1942 Shop Manual is by far the best shop manual I have. In the main very applicable for '39's. 1938 & 1939 supplement shop manual are next to useless. You can download the 1952 Shop manual from Team Buick Reference. OK but not as good as the 1942 Google 1942 Buick Shop Manual Looks OK for the money: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1942-Buick-SHOP-Manual-Special-Century-Roadmaster-Limited-Series-40-50-60-70-90-/221057177952 Reprint (and supports the Buick cause) : http://www.buickheritagealliance.org/archives/details/552 This is interesting, but not essential:- 1939 Buick Parts and Service Bulletins http://www.buickheritagealliance.org/archives/details/579 Edit 1948-49 Shop manual can be downloaded from http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com And other interesting literature

Glad we helped. I have done a study of these methods and trying to extend to 1939 1937-38 owner's have several methods using the 1937 housing/axles or the later housing/axles (as post 7) Please come back in (your) spring to tell us how it all went (and we like photos) ____________________ From www.1937and1938Buicks.com have noticed the following are missing Volume VIII Issue 1 (October 1989) Volume VIII Issue 2 (November 1989) Volume XI Issue 8 (June 1993) was it issued ? Volume XI Issue 9 (July 1993) was it issued ? If anyone has a hard or soft copies would appreciate a copy or pdf Have no idea who maintains / pays for the site: does a good service

What wheels are on it now ? If you are a BCA member you advertise in "parts wanted" in the Bugle. But a phone call to Dave T best initially. He can be hard to contact

Are the coil & plug wires/leads in good condition / new ?

The 1928-1952 Parts book (pg 204) has primed wheels as a single part number covering a broader range of years & models. However 1936 S80 & S90 are noticeably missing. 1936 S40 & S60 are listed 1937 S80 & S90 are listed as 16x7.00 1938-39-40 S80 & S90 & 1941-42 S90 also have 16x7.5 wheels (1 part number as primed). But are not the pseudo "spoke" design of '36's Genuine 1936 S90 will be hard to get 1936Buick90 : We like photos

Does 5 = La Salle ?

From the 1928-41 Master Parts book 1936 S90 has 16x7.5 wheels. Is listed as 1 year only part number, but that does not mean other years will not fit. 1936 S80 has 16x7 (also 1 year only part number) Try http://forums.aaca.org/f165/dave-tachney-341710.html

A rare car Photos ? Does the engine run ? Drivable ?

A typical sketch. One of the methods From 1937-38 club torgue tube Vol XIV Issue 2 Nov - Dec 1995. Also has text instructions

This forum is all about the preservation & restoration of cars as they were made by the manufacturer Try posting on Team Buick, Articles and Reference - Team Buick Front Page or V8Buick.com or H.A.M.B You may find something Buick - Performance/Modified Is the 350 a Buick engine or one of those other engines ?

www.1937and1938Buicks.com is web site reference above. There are several articles on this modification over the years. Can be downloaded The common method (a) buy an early to mid 1950's differential housing with higher gears ( machine 0.25" from the 1950's casing so 37 axle shafts align within the 37 housing © modify (cut & weld) the drive shaft, as the number of splines are different 1937 to post war

I suggest you also post in the General Buick forum and Post War forum with a link to this thread. You may get some more potential customers

Yep: that seems OKI have taken off the front by myself, with use of crates / timber to steady. Was not worried about scratching paint Where are you ? Aussie ? We like photos !!

To me unsure if Sherwood wants the center light housing or the 2 side brake light housings Original thread; http://forums.aaca.org/f119/rear-brake-housing-344639.html

No . This is a small bypass stream. No oil will result in wear in rockers etc. Have you ever looked at the engine running with the valve cover off ?

Not 100% sure, but I think Chrysler V8's engines were all imported into Australia. The 225 ci slant 6 & 215-245-265 ci Hemi inline 6 were all made here. In Australia Chrysler sold out to Mitsubishi about 1982?: - the sad end of Chrysler manufacture in Australia
