Your Buick had a repaint somewhere along the road, the pin-striping was never re-done. It was along the hood and belt line, very similar to Model A pin-striping scheme. The original engine fan actually has a gear driven oil pump in the hub! Overlooked by many owners. Look closely and you will see an oval-head screw in rear fan hub. That is the filler hole when you remove the screw. Be careful with the pot metal door handles. G.M. at the time thought it would be a great theft deterrent if the handle was forced down, it would shear off inside and just spin around without opening the latch! A new handle would cost $3.00 back then. Try and find them now.

Obviously a man with a wealth of knowledge. You should get his contact information. Wayne
