    Got a new wagon!

    As it turns out, Mass Air Sensor was part of the problem and another sensor in the emission system was shorting out. So far, so good. Oh and since it looked very old to me, I replaced the fuel filter too. Fingers crossed!

    Got a new wagon!

    Agreed, one would think that in the "Motor City", the "Automotive Capital of the World", the "City that put the World on Wheels" that a Buick dealership could work on their own cars......

    1960 LeSabre Convertible carpet

    The carpet in my '60 LeSabre convertible is starting to sun fade. It seems no one has a kit for convertibles, only sedans and hardtops. Any suggestions on where I might look?

    Factory clock

    I believe the way the earlier clocks worked was they used the electricity generated by the car only to wind them then they ran as wind-ups only until triggered to wind themselves again....not sure if this is the case with your clock. Seems easier to just reset it when the battery is once again...
