[Guys, I'd like your ideas and feedback on opening a collector car facility]

Okay, guys time to clarify the deal and the concept.

It's a small 32x100 building on the main Road in to a mostly boating area, yes seasonal, already made in 2 large interior spaces..outside there's a 7700 sq ft asphalt parking lot. Behind the building, there's open land about 80' deep to build more. 

There are area events all season and parades that go through the town. The current taxes are under $1000 per yr. 

My thought was storage ( yes I checked for myself and no car storage available within 20+ miles all used up for cars and boats about a $100 for container type) and cars on consignment, meeting place for car clubs , cruise nights, maybe picnics, sell coffee and bagels, cakes, Ice cream unavailable in town now. This is a sleepy boring town with little to do. So there you have most of it. Ask what you like. I heard the cautions but this is a small operation, yes I'd like to make some money too!

[Guys, I'd like your ideas and feedback on opening a collector car facility]

Since I've always loved cars, I'm thinking of opening a car place in a boating resort area. Wondering what type of venue car guys, collectors, gearheads, hobbyists, etc. would actually go to see/visit??

Yes, the thought of cruise nites, a car-club meeting place with maybe coffee, consignment sales, old car storage, automobilia, perhaps some repairs, a small Auto Museum. Or? 

What types of services, or merchandise offerings would you guys really enjoy going to? I'm thinking of a place to bond, hang out, show cars, restoration work, share info.

Your thoughts and feedback? 

[Any expert on '63 who can clear up questions on exterior trim?]

Oh yes I know of red rims maybe 54-58??  I'd doubt if later.

Hubcaps look later to me, and would love to see where the red band under grill was offered! Data book, anyone? 

But I'm here to learn..

[1956 4 barrel motor/ tranny still needed]

Anyone have a good working drivetrain to sell, or know of one? Also need side view mirrors, tissue dispenser, rear bumper Js, 2 correct rims, washer jar top, drivers side door n rear door molding, and? 

Thanks

[Any expert on '63 who can clear up questions on exterior trim?]

Look at the enclosed 63 Le Sabre convert pic. The owner is telling me the thin red line under the grill is a factory option, as new (kinda hard to see but it's a skinny red line only under grill in bright red)? The whitewalls, and red rims, and wheelcovers he insists are factory as built too.

I know my feelings on all this, but want to hear from experts..! Even better a copy of dealer Salesman data book showing offered options.

Btw the turn signal lenses were amber in 63? Right? 

Guys let me hear from you..

 

 

[Still looking for good motor/tranny for 56 Buick Roadie]

Century, Super , Roadie work might adapt Special w auto. Good running preferred. Reasonable? 

Send details/ prices. If you have either lmk. Love complete engine/tranny but will to marry parts..

[What year and model Buick is this from?]

True,  but wondered if an emblem fell off. No big deal, just helping a friend identify them. 

[What year and model Buick is this from?]

Thanks. Kinda what I thought.. Wasn't sure if the second was Chevy, Riv,  or? 

[What year and model Buick is this from?]

Thought maybe 65ish not sure some of it looks 62/63 Elec with the gold but the other one, Chevy looked a little 66 Riv like ? 

 

 

[56 engine questions..for those who know LMK]

Thanks

[56 engine questions..for those who know LMK]

In South Eastern Va on the Northern Neck

Maybe 1+ hrs east of Richmond.

Why?

[56 engine questions..for those who know LMK]

Yes thank you

[56 engine questions..for those who know LMK]

I thank you for your input..I'm, not a mechanical person. Most engines available today are from Specials, luckily most are autos.

My Roadmaster has been off the road for many, many  years, being separated from its original motor during those years.

So in my view, if I put a 4 barrel carb set up from a Super with a dual exhaust on it on my Special block, that should render me pretty close in punch to the 255 it had to start with?? Still can't find an Air cleaner for 4 barrel tho, (if anyone knows a replacement type that fits lmk.).

Okay guys, who know mechanics really well, whats the verdict?..

 

[56 engine questions..for those who know LMK]

So what's the true facts guys??  Is the tranny is the same size in Roadie as the Special, the same length

[56 engine questions..for those who know LMK]

LMK is cyberspeak for Let Me Know

[Anyone have a 1956 Buick Roadmaster exhaust diagram?]

I found those stainless bumper extension pieces that fit through the bumper end. Theres a piece that goes from the round pipe, to this extension. Mine are rusty and half gone, so I don't have any idea what it looks like, or how they all go together??  Any diagram that shows all this??

[56 engine questions..for those who know LMK]

Can I get a piece to extend one from a special?  What does it look like?.
