I've found the answers to this question. These are two separate issues. The foot button operates the seek feature electrically via a connection at the bottom of the radio, and likely was not connected. Of the three vacuum ports. the center nipple receives engine vacuum; the two outer ones supply vacuum to the vacuum-operated antenna to raise of lower it when the knob is used.

Yes, the Sirius costs a bit more than I'd like to have spent, but: My daughter enjoys the BROADWAY Channel on Sirius when she drives - either our '06 Avalanche or her '04 Tahoe, I often listen to: '40s on 4, '50s on 5, sometimes '60s on 6 Willie Nelson's Roadhouse ... and as a "has-been" musician, there are many options for the many hours we pull our trailer cross-country, heading to support all of the AACA National Meets and Tours. I even find some of the Latino stations, even though I don't understand most of the talk, just to listen to the music - especially the Mariachi Bands. This all comes in handy when we are out of range of PBS and other local broadcast stations on FM Maybe not the best solution, but helpful beyond the dozens of CDs we have heard multiple times

Yes, it sure looks that way - BJP - B. J. Palmer who founded the concept of Chiropractic, as well as Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Sid Williams graduated there and then started his own College in Marietta, Georgia, where my brother (now retired), and my cousin Brian graduated. Thanks all for your quick response and remarkable help. We have a great network of experience and expertise on this FORUM

We have learned that the car belonged to Dr BJ Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic. The time frame would definitely work. He was born in 1882 and passed in 1961, so he would have been about age 40 in this photo. John Nikodym reports: Marty, The car in the photo is indeed a Velie model 48 Touring car. This model was offered from 1920 through 1922. The body on that model had a lot of square corners rather than flowing curves and many people consider them a bit ugly. The blue car that someone added in the AACA post is now with its owner in Netherlands. That car was previously owned by Bill Bomgardner who was the director of AACA for a number of years.

Thank you nzcarnerd, There may be a slight difference in the front fenders, but that could just be an earlier or later year difference. Other than that, it certainly appears to be a Velie, and I'll share this opinion/inquiry with John Nikodym in Nebraska who is a Velie collector/expert, and is Chairman of the 2017 Glidden Tour

I sent you a private message (PM) Thanks

Hi Steve, long time no talk - I agree with late 1920s Oakland (mine was a '12), and we have a very active Oakland Owners Club International (OOCI)

I had a 1927 Chevy Capitol AA Roadster - It did not have the headlghts mounted to the fenders, but rather to the Headlight bar also, the '27 had read Bumperettes, not a full bumper

Dodge Brothers

The wheels look identical to a spare 7-lug all-original, and unrestored set of disk wheels I have from the late Bob Thurstone's 733 (since someone else decided to Hot-Rod his unrestored Convertible coupe). The small hub look just like my 1930 Packard 733 hubs. The fender mounted parking light and hood line also appear identical. I have to agree with West -- 1930 733 Packard

From the family of Dr. Sid Williams, marietta, GA, founder of Life Chiropractic College, where my brother and a cousin graduated: Can you help identify this car?

I had one similar on my (former) 1927 Chevrolet Capitol AA Roadster, which previously had been in Trimacar's garage.

NOT like the transparent World's Fair Plexiglas Pontiac - Maybe you can see it now?

Can you please help me identify this car? Dr. Sid Williams founded Life Chiropractic College in 1974. Both my brother and a cousin's son are graduates. The car pictured is purported to have been in his family IMG_5021.JPG

We have On-Star in the '06 Avalanche and have not used it yet, other than the monthly on-line reports telling me my tire pressure, percentage of oil lifetime, etc - stuff that any proper gearhead should be knowing by himself ! (but we do like the SIRIUS Radio) My dissatisfaction came with the purchase of On-Star when we ordered our '02 Suburban LT 2500 in late 2001. We reasonably expected On-Star to remain committed to their service, but they then changed a couple of years later and invalidated their ANALOG service and their agreement, rendering our purchased On-Star option worthless in our '02. The refund of the unused portion was not appropriate compensation for taking away the initially promised capability

My (former) 1934 Model 57 worked the same way. There was a separate switch for the GUIDE driving lights under the dash, next to the 3-way switch for the Map Light and Dash Lights The headlight switch was a 4-position, with a "Passing Beam". Rotating counter-clockwise was for Parking Lights, Center was "Off", Clockwise was (Center was "Off"), Counter-clockwise was Low and then High-Beam (Passing)

tsutroy mir - Trust Me! AAA PREMIER-RV is a good way to go if you tow a trailer and may need to be towed as far as 200 miles. We have had good experiences with them צוטרוי מיר tsutroy mir - Trust Me! The Yiddish language, more common in the 16th-20th centuries, used many European-related components, incorporating Hungarian, Polish, German, and Russian/Ukrainian, English, and many other sounding words for day-to-day conversation but with Hebrew characters. Hebrew was, in those days, not used for normal conversation, but rather among the Orthodox was reserved for prayer. Young musicians learned some of the language by working the resort hotels of the Catskill Mountains in the 1950s-1960s, playing shows behind some of the most talented comedians and singers.

OK, I've learned that the Center port on the radio connects to Engine Vacuum, The other two ports connect to the Vacuum-operated antenna to raise / lower the antenna. Thanks all for your comments - this Buick FORUM is home to some of the best-informed, and most helpful folks in the old car hobby !

Thanks - we have followed this site with a couple of disappointments - even had had one shipped across county and it was nowhere near the description - but will continue i appreciate your response

had a couple of responses, but not top quality. If you have an excellent front bumper, please contact me, and if yours is simply in need of re-Chroming - we could work with that Thanks for looking

The choice of driving lights, where club judging and originality are not the prime factor, comes down to personal choice. I like the Bubble Trippe Lights which were on both my 1930 Packard 733 Export 7-Passenger Touring (delivered in Paris, spent her life in Monaco), and my 1937 Buick Roadmaster 80C Phaeton (New York City Parade Car for Fiorello LaGuardia), apparently when delivered. The 1934 Buick 34-57 came with GUIDE driving lights:
