Hi. Strangely my 55 Century hardtop has either had the model designation code etched off (not sure why anyone would do that) or do you think it's possible it was never added? It has the rest of the information there (style number, body number, trim number and paint number but no 66r)

Just wondered whether anyone has installed a Newport electric motor in place of their old vacuum unit and retained the original wiper bottle setup? I haven't got around to sorting out the hoses yet but plan on getting an elec motor. I like the idea of using the original washer bottle. Anyone...

Hi folks. Both my front little triangle windows are stuck solid. I have tried gentle persuasion but this has yielded nothing yet. I just want to replace the glass in one, that is the reason I'm asking, as one side is cracked. Taking the trim panel off I came across a screw and a bolt in there...

Guys and Gals. She is finally in my driveway. Six months of waiting is all over. Was it worth the wait? She's a Buick, so the answer is easy :) 55 2 door Century Riviera. All original running gear. I am sure the interior is not original, and am not certain whether it is a good stab at being...

Hi. Just about to add a radiator to the car (because it was missing when I bought it) and when I filled it up, water started pouring from a hole in the engine block. A quick check showed a threaded hole. I have since found a picture on the internet with a pipe stuck in it and wondered what it...

Guys, sorry to spam with so many questions! I was gonna get my old seats recovered rather than toss them and put something new there. Thought about putting some aftermarket seats in there but I just keep coming back to these old originals which are totally cactus, tho the springs seem okay. My...

Gentlemen. Curious about how the straps attach to the fuel tank of my 52 Super. Since I dont have the original tank and nor do I have the straps that attach the tank, I'm wondering how the whole shebang hangs together. Anyone got a fotergraph they would care to share with me? No, not one of...

Hi there. Just wondering if someone can help me decipher the numbers on my 50 Buick. Vehicle ID number 60239604 I have just bought a convertible, and have just been handed the certificate of title which has (under body type model) 4dSDSP. by my reckoning it means a 4 door (4D) Sedan (SD)...
