Tom Laferriere Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 This is a really fun car. Trying to figure out what hubcaps go on these wheels. More pictures can be seen on my site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Buick Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Way cool, looks like a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55PackardGuy Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I like the way you're painting the engine from the bottom up. Still has that great crusty "period" look, but not raggedy, so to speak.What's the history on this car? Never seen anything like it, but then I'm not a big pre-War guy (especially pre "Great War!").Take care.P.S. Don't show the hair-raising "child seat" pic to the officials! Great shot, BTW. A ride-along mechanic, just like in the good old days (I mean you as mechanic, of course--you <span style="font-style: italic">are</span> in that seat, correct?)

K8096 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Are those 20" wheels? My guess is they're either '31 Buick or possibly Pierce Arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Tom, Your Buick wheels appear to be from a 1931. The hub caps will have a B in the center.Mark Shaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Laferriere Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I have one of those hubcaps with a B, but it is way too small. See attached. Is there another type of Hubcap with that would fit this wheel. Is this wheel Buick? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The cap for artillery wheels is small, but the cap for the wire wheels is much larger.Mark Shaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
