early Buick Literature

[ssssh]

I have a 1912 Buick that I am restoing. I live in Austalia and info is hard to come by. To help with my resoration, I wish to purchase a copy of David Ware Chambers "The Early Years of Buick". Does anyonew have a copy they no longer need?

I don't have that book, but I do have the remains of a 1912 Buick model 29 roadster. I am keeping the drive train, but I do have a few odds and ends left. What do you need?

Gee Mark, It looks like that car went though a fire! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> What a loss that must have been to its owner. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Well, at least you still have some parts that are hopefully salvagable. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Dave!

Mitchell,

Please note that I bought the 1912 parts car to keep the drive train for my 13 Buick:

1. water pump and shaft, got one, but need to keep it with the complete engine.

2. valve tappets and clamps, Same as #1.

3. fan belt cover, didn't have one.

4. brass lamps and windshield frame, missing or destroyed in the fire.

5. gas tank brass badges, I have these & will be glad to make a template for you. I am using the tank for my 15 Buick speedster.

6. manifold. I have both the intake and exhaust manifolds, but need to keep them with the complete engine.

I will be glad to loan you parts for patterns if you wish.
