David Reker Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hi from Central Missouri! New to the group with a new to me 1936 Buick Roadmaster Series 80. In learning mode on how to economically make my car the best original it can be. Not my first classic, but this one is true love. These photos are last week after her first wash. Not even a wax yet!

The pdf link does not work. http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/Buick/1942/Shop Manual/ It is very comprehensive and has information that can be used with all straight 8’s. It has more information than was included in older “Shop Manuals” before 1942-41 Edited September 8, 2019 by 1939_Buick (see edit history) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsoncg Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Newbie Too, Just bought a 1925 Buick Model 25S Standard Six Sport Touring at Hershey 2019 (tonight). I have had a 1928 Model AA truck for 3 years, but know zip about this Buick, It was in museum (Merrick) and I just found out likely all fluids drained and no battery. I am nervous about recommissioning it so any advice greatly appreciated! Carl - Williamsburg, VA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
