A friend asked me to ask around , thought I'd start off here .The Grandmother allowed the grandkids to play in the Buick , grandfather not impressed ,kids lost the only key .
Any idea where to get a new blank ? ( or three ) Yale Lock .
and he also needs " the dogbone " for the radiator cap ? Not sure if that's right , :confused2: but it may make sense to you guys .
My first inclination is to look in eBay Motors.
A picture of a '25 Buick, you can see what he means by the dogbone for the radiator cap. Probably have to replace the whole cap.
Thanks Geoff , now it makes sense .
I'd recommend also try posting @ the AACA.org forum in the General Buy/Sell and/or the Buick Buy/Sell.

VMCCA members have a lot of Buicks, too. Not sure how to post a classified: http://vmcca.org/
I've been looking at the U.S. Buick sites today , made a couple of enquires ,but am going to find out exactly what model it is ,before posting on the club sites .
Be sure to note the country of origin with the car. Remember Buicks were built under licence in Canada by McLaughlin before it became GMoC. And no doubt there will be some differences between it and the American counterparts.
If the car was imported when new, it likely came from Canada, part of the commonwealth and not subject to the insane taxes and tariffs.
