1928 Buick Master Six Sedan Parts Rare 128 Inch Wheel Base Rat Rod Or Restore on 2040-parts.com
Tehachapi, California, US
Here we have a 1928 model 51 Brougham Buick Master six five passenger sedan.. This is the Master Six built on the longest wheelbase available at the time. 128 inches. Only 10,254 of these were produced making it far rarer than it's 115 or 120 inch counterparts. She is mostly all there, missing headlights running boards and grille shell. Stored indoors untill I got her this summer. Thought I would have an indoor spot for the build but that has changed and rather than just let it sit I thought i will just pass it on. I did remove the doors and store them away inside because the wood is very good in them still. Wood for most of the rest of the car will need to be replaced. Sheetmetal is nearly completely rust free, straight with only a few minor dings here and there. Still wearing a fairly nice tuxedo black paint job that is very presentable. My plan was to not even repaint, just do the wood and the top. Mechanically the car is all there, brakes work and are not all stuck, wheels are in fairly nice shape and though it will obviously need new tires they do still all hold air. Previous owner stated that the motor did run aprox 2 years ago however it is locked up and will not move in either direction, i suspect this to be a bearing failure or cam/crank gear failure as I took a peek down the spark plug holes with a bore scope and the cylinder walls looked nice and shiny. no signs of water intrusion or corrosion whatsoever. Will work with buyer to arrange transport anywhere.

2011 Volkswagen Passat: Paris Motor Show 2010
Thu, 30 Sep 2010The 2011 Volkswagen Passat at Paris Volkswagen like to call this 2011 VW Passat the seventh generation Passat. But it’s a sort of six and three-quarters Passat because, although every bit of sheet metal has been changed, the underpinnings stay the same. Up front the Passat gets a new set of lights and a new grill and the back sees a new set of lights.
Rockin' for a Cause: Iconic Jim Marshall photography to be auctioned to benefit MS
Fri, 16 Jul 2010From black-and-white photographs of some of rock and roll's greatest performers to thoughtful, provocative portrayals of the automobile, Jim Marshall captured enduring images of two of America's greatest passions.
