EmTee Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I see you've upgraded your '38 with a NY YOM license plate - looks nice! I have one on my '38 and think it looks so much better on these cars than a modern plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 Yeah, definitely had to upgrade it, we had the plates for a while just never had a chance to put them onto the 1938. The bracket on the car holes weren’t lined up for old plates so we had to make another new hole to make it work, that was the first thing we did before the show season this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) It seems we have the same taste in cars (right down to the natural wheels on the 29), but my 38 is a Special. The 29-116 was a graduation gift to my son years ago. This 38 Sedan was also recently gifted to my son.

BuickTom87 Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 Very nice !! Yes we do, it’s crazy the difference from driving the 29 to the 38 and even driving the 41. It’s amazing to see the difference a few years had made in engineering 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try driving some brass era Buicks and you will see just how amazing the technology changed in the prewar years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 Yes before we got the 29, we looked at a 19 and 20 but that was little to old for me.. still hope to find a mid 20s depot hack Buick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) My 24 Cut-down Pickup is for sale. It wouldn't take much to make it a depot hack. Edited August 26, 2022 by Mark Shaw (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuickTom87 Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 After a successful show year 1929 Buick won Best of show at the Long Island Buick show 1st place in its category at AACA old Westbury gardens 1938 Buick won 1st place at the local Buick show Although it didn’t place at Westbury gardens since the judges said it wasn’t fair to have 2 cars place in the same class. Next year really wanting to take the 29 to call national at Hershey.. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuickTom87 Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Since the Buick nationals are right around the corner . Just trying to get the 29 ready for some competition. I want to replace some of the rods for the distributor and heat riser and carburetor, does anyone recreate them . Also need the tube for the heat riser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H.Boland Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 The fellow I sold my '29 McLaughlin-Buick Master club sedan to also has a '38 McLaughlin-Buick Roadmaster sedan. His '65 Chevy looks quite out of place. Jim 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuickTom87 Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Anyone have any experience with the pipes for the heat riser to the exhaust valve . I’m in the process of doing it but it just throws it all out of line anyone have experience in making them or have any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Tom: It seems each series and year had a different configuration of the heat by-pass. My 1925-25 has quite a bend in the tube. When I bought the car they had a copper pipe in it that leaked badly. A NOS one Hugh found for his car. I was able to salvage one from a spare engine. My 1925 Master had the bi-pass cut and a red rubber hose for a connection. It was VULCANIZED in place from the heat. I had a local welding shop make up the bends in the pipe. Not very nicely which I had to smooth out. My frustration in our region of Central PA is that muffler shops that do tube bending have dissapeared. Even the internal riser liner tubes seem to be just a bit off of standard exhaust pipe sizes. To get the correct fit a pipe expander to be used with the hydraulic pipe bending unit. My local shop that had bent my exhaust down pipe sold their unit to a local GUY who may do something with it SOMEDAY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Yeah I’m brining it to my local fabricator who builds custom turbo kits and roll cages for him to make me something that fits and looks nicely . I was getting agitated with it not working no matter what I did to it . So this Tuesday fingers crossed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted June 8 Author Share Posted June 8 Soo next weekend my goal is to drop the oil pan in the 38 century , and clean it then possibly rebuild the oil pump . Is it fairly easy to remove the pan ? I know on my 32 and 29 it’s fairly easy just gotta take your time . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMicheletti Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Not bad, but the front bolts can be a bit tricky to get to. I usually drop the stabilizer bar from the frame, but leave he links to the A arms connected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuickTom87 Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 Thank you that’s very good information on rebuilding the oil pump , going to give it a try . Just ordered extra jack stands and going to try and see if I have enough room to get underneath the car to do this . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
