Guest pat in SC Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 here are 3 shots of the car I just got. As you can see, the top color is too light, but that will change.1927 Buick Model 54 by tiopato2000, on Flickr27-54 roadster by tiopato2000, on FlickrIMG_1148 by tiopato2000, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pat in SC Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Pat, very nice indeed. Congratulations are your new car. Tell us what you are going to do with it. How about some pics of the engine and interior? Sure, I will get some shots of that stuff and post them. I am slowly going to restore it , but while I drive it. That is, projects that will put it off the road will be done in winter, and phased over a few years so I can keep driving it during the top down months. The photos do not show the detail well, but the paint is deteriorating and will need to be re done. The interior, while in good condition, is incorrect and poorly done, so that on the list as well. Mechanically, it will soon need brake linings and it sounds as if I need to take up the rod bearings a shim or two. Otherwise it runs well, strong and smooth. It starts and drives like a dream.One thing I noticed today was that the differential carrier housing was probably cracked once....it has a bondo or JB Weld patch on it, which is seeping 600w . I will be looking for a torque tube/housing for it if anyone knows where one is, I am interested. As long as I am on that subject, will 26 or 28 Master torque tube/housings fit a 27?

Mark Shaw Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 You might want to look up Randy Dekker in Oklahoma via the BCA directory. He has the same car and actively tours with his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pat in SC Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Restore what? looks pretty nice as is from the pictures.Photos always make a good car look average and a bad car look average too. The paint is flaking off. It is old lacquer and failing all over the car. The interior details are sloppy. A Buick had striking finish work originally. This interior could have been made in Tijuana, but more likely it was done somewhere in Southern Wisconsin.Nevertheless, it drives like a champ. A very good car which could be made excellent with a little TLC.I will post some detail shots after I finish off with Car Week. I live 45 miles from Pebble Beach, Carmel Calif, Guess which car show I will be at this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
