unimogjohn Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Does it have the tag on the cowl? How about some pics, especially, both sides of the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unimogjohn Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 To validate what you have take a look at the tag that is on the left side of the engine, I can see the tag in your engine pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnbikes Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Well finally got out to the car and took some more pictures. Some time in the past the car was used to plow snow with. The bumper mounts are welded solid and the plow bolted to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelod Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 You might want to consider parting this car out as I believe you would find yourself underwater financially on this one very quickly. Not a lot here to work with and what little is there needs serious expensive attention. I started with a running 1930 Buick that was 95% complete and soon discovered my initial estimate as to the effort and financial commitment necessary to complete the restoration was far short of reality. I have been devoting every dollar and spare moment I can lay my hands on to her for some time now with no end in sight. My cash outlay has already far exceeded the value of the car when restored and I am doing nearly all of the work myself.Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveCorbin Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Dear Barnbikes:The numbers are right for each other and were issued by Buick to a 1928 Model 58.Regards, Dave Corbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
