I agree it’s intriguing but without documentation it doesn’t seem to be worth the price of admission let alone the “restoration” costs. Maybe I am off base there but my $0.02 Worth…

I put quotations on restoration because without the missing provenance what do you do with it???

You get two thumbs up! Although one of them feels sprained right now as it is amazing what a teeny bit of rust will do to those housings.

Who ever did the interior rewired the lights backwards somehow and I had a dead short when I opened the back door. Now I can hopefully find that short.

My apologies for the picture at 90 degrees.

When I took mine apart that was all I could think of too.

This was on eBay about a year ago give or take.

I bought it from Walt and Tim Schilde from the eBay picture you showed. I am currently refreshing the engine with new rod bearings, pistons, valves, etc. I was immediately interested due to the originality of the car not to mention the condition. We drove it to the first show in our area last year right after going through the brake system and received a HPOF trophy just for showing up. The mascot was sitting on my desk for the last 20+ years and now has a better home – for some of the time anyhow…

How many more pictures would you like?

Thank you Bill, I now see these are similar but different… I’m not very knowledgeable about the exact years of changes and thought they would be the same.

PS, if anyone has a good left bucket with rim and glass backup lens they would part with, I’d be interested…

My left bucket is a mess and I don’t have the rim or lens, Thanks

And another one

On my 31 the center bucket is the red running light with the license plate cutout, the backup is on the left and the brake light on the right side of it. Are they different in 29?? Or is that the one you need to get a picture of?

My left bucket is off right now, but here’s a picture of the center one in case it would help.

This is what my 31 sedan looks like in that mounting area.

Mine looks just the same as Tom’s, it was held on with what looks like #10-32×1/2” long flat head screws.

John Cislak had a pair of the lights listed on eBay a while back. You might try calling him, he’s got several ads in the emporium to find the phone number.

I agree, that fifth digit is a pain to measure, especially when the temperature is not held constant…

Let’s try it again

There’s a discussion on the AACA about a nearly exact style watch with a Buick logo. The general feeling was a 1970’s item. Here’s the link, I hope…

I bought one for my 31 from John Cislak, I think it was around $20 or so and fit perfectly.

I’m missing a couple of these too, when I asked about them before it was suggested that I make them myself from stainless and polish them. I’m going to be away on a T Tour, but can make you a drawing when I get home if you need it.
