Just thought I would give everyone a "heads up". I found this guy on ebay that has been making exhaust systems apparently for a long time. He now has a complete replicated OEM dual exhaust system complete for 1957-58 Buicks. Here is the link...

Just about ready to do my install of timing gear/chain set. Egge tells me I can get the OEM plastic teeth/aluminum cam gear in the set or go with an all steel one. However the OEM one makes the engine run noticeably quieter than going the all steel gear route. My question is has anyone done...

I have a question for anyone out there that really knows for sure about the color/emboss coding on the Roadmaster Dashes for 1953. This was in fact the only year in which Buick embossed the lower section of a complete dash design which they had used since 1950. In 1954 they went to a...
