The two-door post was THE cheap-o Buick, and only in the Special line. And also the lightest car Buick made. I.E. stuff a bigger engine in it,...
Prayers for the poor guy,
Most definately a '54.

If it is a LeSabre, IT IS NOT A ANILHEAD!! Buick used a smaller 340 CID I think, something or other with rocker covers to look like a Nail, but...
Location, address, tube stop? I may be it the neighborhood some time. Is there a usual day/time for a car gathering? Thanks for any info,
There is Turner's Auto Wrecking on the south side of Fresno (Golden State Blvd at South Willow) but he is expensive, and won't let you wander...
Is the strt-8 is overheating, it is probably not the pump. Try flushing or rodding your radiator first. You can pull off the pump cover on the...

Harvey Earl was a genious, so the less you mess with the basic design, the better. Cool ride, have fun, especially with the coumpund carb set-up!
Very well-done, I enjoyed the read. Perhaps the reason why we are so fascinated by the possibility of ghosts - is beacuse the past clings to us,...
Prayers certainly...
My BMD parts book says the same thing.
I want to be like him when I grow up.
A tempt guage on the trans would be a very good idea. When it heats up, STOP. Remember Dynaflows do EVRYTHING in the torque-converter, so heat...
I would start by pulling the plugs to squirt a little ATF into each cylinder to soak into the rings. Pull valve cover for a good cleaning of the...
Prayers on the way, Doug Cok

The '64 trans will not fit your '54 nailhead. There are options available, though. I can't tell you all the details, but go to the Buick...
Looks like a Buick for sure. And judging by what looks to be a three-piece exhaust it should be the bigger Roadmaster engine... Doug Cook
It will surprise you how staying on top of the adjustment routine will make a big difference. Yes, every three thousand miles, if not more....
Cool lettering, but I have to object to such a disparaging remark about a Buick. A big green cow? A car of substance and style deserves a little...
I would agree with the idea of keeping it Nailhead. A lot less to mess with, and a cool engine besides that is well-suited to a heavy car. There...
