  1. What a great find you have there, 1941 Buick NOS Limited hub caps. Please send me a PM if you want to sell (I live in Denmark and I have bought many pieces without problems). In my Master Parts List Book 1941 Buick Limited is Group 5.858 Part No 1319459. Is that what you have? I can se a Part No 1297202? on the foto (that's for a 1937) Regards 7buick7 Henrik Larsen Buick@larsen.mail.dk
  2. Alternatively try Bill Hirsch Automotive Products. They ship internationally!
  3. Hi, Please send me a PM with a few more fotos of the 32 right front fender. buick@larsen.mail.dk Thanks!
  4. Thanks for info. A quick inspection of my head shows no visible cracks, but I think I’ll take it to a machine shop for a closer look. However I found that one of the head bolts had damaged the headcasting underneath, at the contact area. The headbolt have a washer, but it’s a thin one. A better washer will surely prevent this from happening again. At first I thought this damage was due to poor/low iron quality, but the combination of a very small headbolt + thin washer is not ideal.
  5. Hi,<O:p</O:p I'm restoring a 1932 Buick 57S - X and this forum is really a useful source for information not found in reference and parts books. Recently I read a post about a another 1932 Buick, saying that “</SPAN></SPAN>The 32 Buicks had serious problems with cracked heads” <O:p</O:p Please share your experience with this problem. Where does it typically crack? Is it in a random place or? <O:p</O:p All information appreciated <O:p</O:p
  6. About the Rolls story, although I have not been able to verify this myself, I have read that Buick advertising people used this in a 1940 advert. Without directly naming Rolls they mentioned the fact that "a famed English car builder" bought a Limited every year".
  7. Hi again I really hope they are better this time. (Why does the jpg not show in the reply before it's to late...)
  8. Hi, I made a scan of the "1940 Buick Limited Souvenir Catalog". (Sorry for the poor quality). The Luggage Compartment was standard for the 91 model in 1940. In 1941 it was not even a option, unless you bought a custom bodie.
  9. Hi, If that fails send me a PM with your address and I'll send you a copy of the reference book. buick@larsen.mail.dk
  10. Hi, The 1932 Buick Reference book is a must, but I guess you don't have it? Also try locating "Marvel Carbureters, Design, Operation, Priciples of Heat Control" (I only have a bad copy of one page, sorry). I made 3 scans of the Referance Book p 25, 26 and 27, hope you find it useful. Your 1932 57S should have part no. 10-264 on the Carb. body and it's different from model 60, 80 and 90.
  11. Hi, In the 1941 Buick Limited Catalogue, the 6 passenger car was named "<span style="font-style: italic">The Buick Limited Sixter</span>" + "<span style="font-style: italic">It combines room for tall hats and long legs alike with the easy handling of 139-inch wheelbase</span>". And the last part (and the massive weight) is what it's all about, the car has a very level and steady ride. The feeling today is really something special, and in 1941 this must have been truely extraordinary. So my guess is that people bought it for the 139 inch wheelbase comfort. Options? Not many, but the L and F models had a speaking phone option and the rear window wiper option was also not standard with the Limited.
  12. Hi Michael Sure, good idea. I'll PM you asap.
  13. Can't think of anything odd, but I have never seen another 90L in real, so I will start looking at all the pictures I can find of other Limited's. Thanks for the input! Was the alphabet used for unusual options, first special order in a production year A.... ?
  14. Yes, that could be a good explanation. I just don't know if the "X" is supposed to be there (stamped) on all real exports or if it's just on the paper they are named X. (I follow your project with great pleasure!)
  15. Hi, Yep, it's the 1941 I can't figure out. My 1932 is built here in Denmark at the first GM assemblyplant outside the US! The fisher plate don't have a model. The body is no 125. Style is 41-4933. Frame no is 13988585. Engine is RE no 510757, but was no 94166336.
