Den41Buick Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Juan,Welcome to world of 1941 Buicks. As the adverstsing said "The Best Buick Yet". You have already found Bob's and he is a good source for parts as well as Old Buick Parts in NJ. A must have is a book by Bob Anderson titled "Restoration Facts: 1941 Buick". It is a great reference to have and can be ordered at www.andersonautomotiveenterprises.com. As you will find they are great driving cars and very reliable too. There are plenty of 41 owners on this blog who I am sure will be willing to help you through the process. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41sedanetteowner Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thank-you, to all of you that have replied to my thread! I am somewhat familiar with parts hunting, I had a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan. I can say that it is easier to find parts for Chevrolets, as there are more vendors for them. I joined the AACA with the hopes of finding parts for my Sedanette and hopefully forming some friendships along the way. Again, thanks to all that have replied. I hope to post some pictures of my car in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thriller Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Juan,Welcome the the world of Buick and the '41 models in particular. You will get your BCA number sent to you once the office has processed your membership. I don't know how long that will take, but Mike and Nancy are good people, so you are in good hands.We got our '41 in 2007 and really enjoy it. My wife in particular wants to get better at using a clutch and manual transmission so she can drive it. She really likes how smooth and quiet it is. I don't recall what she was referring to, but there are elements of interior design that she likes much better in the '41 than our modern GM vehicles. Some of the small touches are really neat.Yes, it can be tough to find some stuff, but thankfully the mechanical necessities aren't that bad. It is the aesthetic stuff (trim etc.) that can cause a bit more grief in the parts finding.Take care, good luck with the car, and I'm looking forward to the photos. I've always wanted a sedanette (great styling), but got a happy medium finding a 4 door (easier for teens to get in and out) with the tourback / jetback styling similar in nature to that of a sedanette.
