Greetings Turbo Regal Inner Circle Members 12-09-2015 -

REMEMBERING PEARL HARBOR - SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7TH, 1941 -

Remember Sunday December 7th, 1941 when the Japanese launched a successful surprise attack that fateful morning has a special meaning in our family. My father-in-law, Nick Tinari, was in the Army stationed in Hawaii that fateful morning, as was his future father-in-law.

Some of you may recall when we did a story about having a part of one of the actual Japanese planes that was part of that surprise attack. A few years ago my mother-in-law gave me this memento for safekeeping.

A staff reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer recently interviewed us for an article that they published in this past Sunday’s newspaper. If you have Sunday’s Inquirer (12-6-2015), the article appears on the second page of the section A.

It was also featured on their website. Here is a link to read the story online:

MORE FROM MY ARCHIVES -

Here is more information from my archives.

As we have mentioned in the past, the Buick Press Kits for any of the 1980s is quite rare to find today. Besides doing a Press Kit for each year featuring all the Buick models for that given year, they also did separate Press Kits for some of the special models. The oldest one I have on the Regal model is the News Media Information packet for the Buick Official Pace Car Indy 500 May 24th 1981. To be the one that gets to Pace the annual Indy 500 race is always quite an honor for a car company.

PHOTO 1 - The top left photo shows the actual front of the packet. The top middle photo shows one of the pages of the Press Release. The top right shows 2 pictures of the Pace car. The lower photo shows a color photo of the actual car.

NOTE - I may have a second copy of this Press Kit for sale. Email me - [email protected] if you are interested. This is extremely rare to find one of these today.

The Regal model that was the first to sport the Grand National badges is the 1982 Regal Grand National. The Press Release is dated February 10, 1982. The quote by Lloyd E Reuss, Buick General Manager and a General Motors Vice-President said, “The distinctive Grand National will be used to help Buick dealers capitalize on the success of the Buick nameplate on the NASCAR circuit.”

PHOTO 2 - The top left photo shows the actual front of the packet. The top middle photo shows one of the pages of the Press Release. The top right photo shows two photos of the 1982 Grand National from the press packet. The bottom photo shows an actual color photo from the Press kit.

As you know the 1982 Grand National saw limited production and featured a number of different parts on it compared to the production 1982 Regals. These parts are all listed on a special service bulletin from Buick dated March of 1983. This is just over a year later than when the 1982 Grand National was announced. What I found interesting is on the parts listing the grille and headlight bezels you had to paint as required. In other words, they did not come painted in black from the factory. This is probably because of such low production numbers. Another item I found interesting was the Service Bulletin broke down all the parts for the Lear Siegler seat parts. They show 22 different parts for the Lear Siegal bucket seat.

PHOTO 3 - From the Buick Dealer Service Bulletin dated March 1983 we show the one page that has the 1982 Grand National illustration. For each unique exterior part on the Grand National Regal they list the GM part number. What’s interesting is that the rocker panel moldings and wheel well moldings have to be covered with vinyl tape stone guard film. This is indicated with an asterisk. I can only assume Buick never produced them in the proper color that was used on this limited production Grand National for 1982.

The other special Buick Press Kit I have is for the 1983 Indianapolis 500 Official Pace Car. That year featured the Buick Riviera convertible as the Pace car.

PHOTO 4 - The photo on the left shows the actual front of the packet. The photo on the right shows the 1983 Buick Riviera Convertible Pace Car.

More information next week from my archives on Buick Press Kits.



ON THE NEWS FRONT -

On the news front - The January 2016 issue of MUSCLE MACHINES magazine has a 6-page article about Tom Kelly and the original 1987 Grand National that he bought.

If you’re sharp, in the one photo you can see that the power antenna is broken. In the article Tom admits to having owned a few Grand Nationals over the years. What sold him on this GN was the fact it was original, including the paint, and the car had all the paperwork. This Grand National also has the astro roof option. The car still retained all its original paint. He even got the original Window Sticker from Arnold Palmer Motors (yes, the same Arnold Palmer the golfer).

Two things that will increase the value on these cars are having original paint and a paper trail to trace the history of the car, which includes the Window Sticker.

The February issue of CAR CRAFT magazine has an article called “Midnight Drags 2015.” This event is a heads up shoot out that starts at the end of the Car Craft Summer Nationals.

Jim Schmittinger entered two cars. One was a 1987 Buick Grand National and, if that wasn’t up to the task, he also entered a 2015 Hellcat. The Grand National made it to the final run with a string of low 10-second runs. Obviously it was modified.

Taking First Place was Chris Bishir, a technician for Lingenfelter Engineering. He entered his S-10 truck. He clicked off a 9.07 at 153 mph. Jim took Second Place with his modified 1987 Grand National.

It’s great to see our cars getting “ink” in the car magazines.



IT WAS 30 SOMETHING YEARS AGO -

Over the year, we have tried several business ventures.

It was 30-something years ago that I tried my hand at selling Christmas trees. I bought our first tow truck from a nearby Atlantic gas station and he had sold Christmas trees for a number of years. (Our first tow truck had a hand winch set up!)

I thought since our house was located on a major busy four-lane highway, it may be a worthwhile venture to sell trees. Boy was I wrong. First, you have to buy an entire truck load of trees. You can’t simply pick out the trees you want. Unlike cars that increase in value as they age, Christmas trees drop in value the closer December 25th rolls around! Add in the fact your friends expect a special price, and you can see how selling cut Christmas trees becomes a work of charity!

Besides people coming all hours of the night, net profit margins were not that great.

I think the end result was we basically broke even. I did come away with the knowledge that I would never sell cut Christmas trees again.



RIP - ART FITZPATRICK

You may not be aware of the name Art Fitzpatrick, but his work is well known in the automotive advertising segment. During his long lifetime, he and his partner Van Kaufman (who at one time was a Disney animator whose specialty was drawing people and places) created over 280 ads for Pontiac alone.

Art was 96 years young. Together they did work for 14 different automakers. I had the opportunity of meeting Art Fitzpatrick at a Pontiac GTO convention several years ago. He was one of the VIPs set up next to my spot at the event. His work is even more impressive when you realize everything back then was done by hand with no computer help!

A special thanks to Clem Sousa for providing the link.

1986 T-TYPE FOR SALE -

Here are the details from his ad -

SET OF REAL GNX WHEELS FOR SALE -

A good customer of ours has a set of original GNX wheels for sale. This is a matched set of 4 ORIGINAL wheels. The price for the full set is $5,000. Email me personally - [email protected] - for more details.



NEW PRODUCTS IN THE WORKS -

We have 1 unique item now in the works. It’s being produced by Spoolfool exclusively for our company.

We have also been in conversation with another company about something that we hope to be able to make happen. Both of these projects will work with any year Turbo Regal.

Watch for updates.



TURBO REGAL POWER ANTENNAS UPDATE -

We had our son Darrell make up a sample bracket and template so these new power antennas will bolt into the 1984-1987 Turbo Regals, like the originals.

He installed one in a Grand National that he had painted, and it used this new bracket.

These new power antennas have a manufacturer’s One-year Warranty.

Antennas are actually made for another GM car. They use the same screw-in bezel that sits on the top of the fender, so you can use the original bezel. The 3-wire lead and plug is identical to the original. The new bracket will be bolted to the new antenna. A rubber boot will also come with this new power antenna to protect the motor from the elements.

We expect to have these new power antennas ready to ship before the end of November. If you place your order in advance now, the sale price is $179.95 plus $12 shipping. The retail price once they are available will be $199.95 plus shipping. We would not charge your credit card until we are able to ship the power antenna to you.

This power antenna is not on our website, so you have to call and talk to Christina to get on the list if you want one - 215-766-1611 x 0. By ordering now you save $20. This also gives us a good idea on how many power antennas we need to have initially. We should have production of these shortly.

NOTE - This front bumper impact cushion is black, which is correct for all Grand Nationals and GNX models and is exactly like the original.

For other Turbo models you may want to add the painted strip in the indention to be original.

Each comes with a pack of 25 thread cutting nuts. These are the unique nuts needed to secure the impact cushion to the metal bumper. We also offer this pack of nuts separately, Part #7451.

Our photo shows this front impact cushion at the top. We’ve noted the placement on the front bumper with a red arrow in the middle photo. The inset photo shows the 25 thread cutting nuts, which comes with it.

CORRECT LOOKING GRAY VALVE STEM CAPS (10) SET

More and more Turbo Regal owners are starting to restore their cars, since the values of original Turbo Regals is on the increase.

One visible small part is the unique style grey valve stem caps that were used on all the 1984-1987 Turbo Regals, except for the GNX.

These are the correct looking valve stem caps for the T wheels and the Grand National wheels. These are not correct for the GNX wheels.

If you have an original spare tire in your trunk, you can check that valve stem cap and the design will look identical to the caps pictured here.

These are the correct style. We did however had to paint them grey to match the original color.

Each car uses 4 valve stem caps for the wheels and 1 for the spare. Our set includes 10 caps, which gives you 2 full sets.

NOTE - ABOUT LINKS IN THE INNER CIRCLE -

We have heard from a couple people that have had problems with the links in our Inner Circle.

When we check the links, they work fine. However, if you are not able to be directed to the exact website page or internet site, you can "copy" and "paste" the link into the URL in your browser (such as Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.) If it doesn't link in one browser, it may work in another.

Most people having problems are using Internet Explorer… If you are having issues with links, try another browser to see if it works.

You may need to "UPDATE" your browser to be use you are using the current version.



NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS ON THE WEBSITE -

We have heard from a couple people that have viewed the photos on the website. Because these have to be low-resolution photos to work on the Inner Circle segments on the website, any photos of text don't appear clear when enlarged. This is a problem when you are trying to see numbers, such as those on the VIN labels or pages from Options booklet. Also, because of photo reproduction and computer screen variations, the colors may not be true to the actual product or photo.

If you would like to have us email you any photo at the higher resolution for viewing, just email us and we will email them to you. Be sure to be specific on which pictures you want to see - Reference Inner Circle date and photo number 1, 2, 3 or 4 - [email protected]


ABOUT OUR EMAILS -

Any inquiries concerning used parts, you must email me direct - [email protected] - I will answer you. However, if I fail to answer you within 24 hours, please email us again. Since expanding into used parts, I get a lot of emails and sometimes I may forget your request or may not remember who requested the item.



IN CLOSING -

We are still experiencing some of the mildest weather for this area in years. I am wondering how much longer it can last!
