Anyone on here owned this Buick?
Discussion
I've just bought a rather lovely old Buick RoadMaster 75, and noticed this...
...on the rear bumper. Anyone of this parish?
I'm hoping this is a long-term keeper, having gone through dozens of old motors over the last few years. It needs some TLC in places, but seems pretty solid where it matters. We'll see.

He had it briefly, though I didn't buy from him. I did a 4 mile drive today and the rad blew. Parked up, there was a loud 'pop' and all the coolant dropped. Header tank had been bodged (badly) with filler. Not a great start. Now need to either repair it, or get one custom built. 
That is a pain Ade. You should be able to have that professionally repaired by a radiator specialist. Get them to flush the rad as well while they are in there It's in good hands. They say that it won't be a problem.
But it's a hell of a split, as you can see. No idea how that much pressure can build up in the cooling system. I figured maybe a head gasket, but there's no evidence of water in the oil, or oil in the water. Any ideas? 364 Nailhead.
