    Saturn Raffle

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I guess the AACA lost my phone # for me to pick up my new car from the raffle. My first Hershey but didn't find much for my Olds Woodie but did find a much needed chrome piece for my '50 buick. 4 days of walking and a lot to see. Who did win the Saturn?????????

    My build sheet was under the rear seat and has factory ink stain that was spilled on it. 1st line-?14., 2nd line ?29.B.R.V.50, 3rd line 4537-18-50 4th line M-H-A-C. The ?marks are where the stain hides some #'s or letters.

    Thanks Michael for the info. I took off the plastic seat covers today and found the build sheet. I didn't realize how primitive these sheets were. It look like a bunch of useless letters and numbers. I also have a lot of the original paper work that came in the glove and knob hangers. My interior has the same cloth that your selling but I'm not there for that expense. Did you put on the fender spears? thx, dorsey

    John, Thanks for the latest pics of a clean '50. After having the radiator boiled and all hoses (40+ feet of 5/8 hose) and 2 radiator hoses,belt replaced I have been driving it in 95+ degree heat without any problems. The tranny is even working right ie with just a very minor drip. I hope its not to hard to fix. I'm just glad it runs after sitting since '77. What do you think about a set of skirts and a visor??????? What were they wanting for the '50 you pictured? I'll try and post some new pics since I've cleaned it. Also, There's something about 58 year old grease that is hard to srub off of skin. Thanks, Dorsey

    Madien voyage completed since being stored since 1977. I was worried @ the tranny but it pulled. Just drove it to the gas station as customers walked around it asking,"What is it" Didn't want to push my luck yet. I have a lot of fine tuning to do before I really get to enjoy it. A lot of work accomplished but more to go. Dorsey

    "THIS ENGINE IS EQUIPPED WITH HYDRAULIC LIFTERS" sticker is original to my valve cover and is located at the rear of the cover and is tilted in the two o'clock position in front of the acorn nut, looking at it from the passenger side. The left bottom corner of the sticker is on the curvature of the cover ie. this sticker is not flat on top of the cover. The F263 sticker is on the side of the cover at the rear of the cover in front of the BUICK logo. Hope this helps and a great job of your frame off. Dorsey

    Dave, Is calvin gray a light green. The spare tire and wheel are original w/the light green color w/ three french white stripes. Very cool looking. The wheels on the car were repainted when the car was. They matched the paint as the door jambs are original. I'm waiting on fr. wheel cyls., fuel pump, new gas tank (250.00) vs old tank being coated(150.00),oil pan,gst set. And who knows what else. I want to post pics but its to much for me to handle. Had a parts man tell me about and old buick and I looked at it today. A clean bodied '54 century 4door thats been sitting under a shed. I should here a price this week. But do I want a 4 door? Clean body but 4 doors just dont bring the money vs 2 doors. Are these cars worth buying vs the work involved to get them running and stopping? I'm still saving for Hershey. Dorsey

    Dave,thanks for your help. Here is the tag info: 1950 mod 56R;style no. 50-4537;body no. BK 1129;trim no. 50;paint no.18. It has been painted once the same color. Update on progress: cleaned all rod bearings and three mains. All looked good.Found another oil pan and waiting on gasket set and gas tank. Starting on brakes while I'm waiting on parts. Still cant figure out how to load pics. Have a friend coming by who is more savvy on loading pics. Do you think the tranny is going to work?????? All this work on the mtr I sure hope it does. Does any one need any extra grease for their hair,it's FREE. HA HA
