Bill - 29 Buick

Does anyone have the contact info for the photographer who did the track photos at the 1986 Indianapolis National Meet ? Bill McLaughlin 1929 Silver Anniversary Buick Newsletter

The 1929 Closed Buicks have an electric wiper motor. Does anyone know someone that can repair ? Bill McLaughlin 1929 Silver Anniversary Buick Club

Wow ... it would be nice to get out to the garage behind the house and do some wrenching. Still too cold up here in Canada. And, I have a rebuilt transmission in the USA just waiting for you guys to open your border so I can get it and have it put back in the car. Anyone know how to get an old car transmission declared "essential" ? Bill McL

Send me a copy when you’ve finished. <Bill@29Buick.ca> thanks. Bill McLaughlin 1929 Silver Anniversary Buick Club.

And, the car is an early production model. It has both the early hubcaps and radiator cap. Bill McLaughlin 1929 Silver Anniversary Buick Club.

Keiser31 is correct. It's a 1929 Buick model 54CC - a 4 passenger convertible coupe. One of 19 different models offered that year. This car has the optional Artillery Wood wheels and also an after-market light of some kind near the top front of the driver's door.

I have a couple of China pieces. The first is a poster advertising the 1929 Buick and the second is a brass plaque that, I believe, was attached to the wall outside the office door at General Motors China. Bill McLaughlin 1929 Silver Anniversary Buick Club

I have a female trickle charger plug-in in my 29 McLaughlin Buick, equipped with 2 Optima batteries in parallel, and it will charge / run a phone's GPS. Maybe because it's a McLaughlin Buick (When better Buicks are made McLaughlin will be making them) ??? Bill McLaughlin 1929 McLaughlin Buick Roadster

Do the front mount bolts line-up with the frame bolt holes ? On my 29, I had to stretch the rear springs to get the bolt holes to line-up. I chained the rear axle to a post and chained the front to a Jeep and slowly pulled the springs about 4” and the bolts dropped in. Bill McLaughlin

I emailed <dsommer@tc3net.com> several times and got a response from: Cyndi Sommer McLauchlan Don Sommer Fine Art, LLC 248-435-6115 Phone 248-707-4624 Cell Good luck. Bill McLaughlin

Received a reply from them. Bill McLaughlin 1929 Silver Anniversary Buick Club Bill@29Buick.ca 416-580-5802

Tell ALFRED, if he isn’t successful here, he needs to join the 1929 Silver Anniversary BUICK Club and advertise in their Newsletter. Bill McLaughlin 1929 Silver Anniversary BUICK Club

I have found there are a few LED head light bulbs around and it's important to get ones that focus properly. Classic and vintage Bulbs down in Australia manufacture a headlight LED, 6v high and low beam that works very well. As Iunderstand the arrangement of the LEDs should be close as possible to the positioning of an original type bulb filament, like a 1000, to work well and give a good Dipped and High beam in a original reflector. www.classicandvintagebulbs.com Bill McLaughlin 1929 McLaughlin Buick

Has anyone had contact with American Arrow recently. I know that Don Sommers passed away a short while ago. I have been unsuccessful in contacting them on behalf of a friend in Australia who is looking for his pre-paid 1929 Buick radiator mascot. Any information would be appreciated.

OleBug, your 29 looks more like a roadster (vs. a 29-46S which was a Sport Coupe). However, the door hinges look wrong for a Stewart bodied roadster. Could it be a coupe made into a roadster ? Bill McLaughlin Publisher - 1929 Silver Anniversary Buick Newsletter

Just had a cancellation and now have 1 space available in Orange Field for AACA member. Bill McLaughlin

Just get the Spanish, optional overflow tank.

Thanks. Bill McL

Could someone check their 1930 Manual and give me the piston size for the large series engine, please. Thanks. Bill McLaughlin Supporter of All-to-gether Parking

Barry: If your brother has a photo of what's left of the 29 Yellow Coach taxi, which used the Buick Master engine, I'd like to use it in the 1929 Silver Anniversary Buick Newsletter. Send it to <Bill@29Buick.ca>. Thanks. Bill McLaughlin

Jack, think it would work. Can you PM me what you want for them. Bill

Jack, the actual locking pieces looks the same but cap looks different. Bill

Need 29 Buick side-mount lock - all 3 pieces (lock/hold-down, special bolt and locking cap). Bill McLaughlin

Depending on what you're going to do with the car (ie. a cosmetic vs. a full restoration) you might consider a cheap used set of tires to get the car home and move it during the restoration - and then buy a new set towards the end of the restoration. Bill McLaughlin 1929 McLaughlin Buick
