thehandleman Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yes but its not period make and model correct for the concourse or AACA Senior, A Good Buick Judge knows exactly what to look for, but I guess if he is not going for the Oem Original restore throw disk brakes on it and A/C while your at it. LOL Cheers Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 No concourse judge will ever pull the floorboards to see it. Asking $195 on eBay for an OEM part that will never be seen is not justified when you can get a new modern switch for $13.50. I'll bet most concourse car engines have aluminum pistons with modern rings too. If it will never be seen, why spend ridiculous money? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 IMO, safety trumps judging points. If I am correct, seat belts and starters on older cars are not deducted. Correct me if I am wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donlock Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 I just took it apart and repaired it, it turned out to be a faulty wire in taillight. Thanks for all replies. Don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Stuart... 1929 was the first time Buick had a clear lens in the combination brake/tail/backup light. This combination light in a 1929 Buick has a dual filament bulb that operates the low watt filament as a tail light when the headlights & cowl lights are on. The high watt filament works as both a brake light, and a backup light when in reverse. So yes, the switch connected to the transmission does make the "backup" light work in reverse and the brake pedal makes it work when stopping.
