I'm looking at the 1969 Chassis Manual right now and it looks very nicely done. Obviously, this could possibly fill holes in what might be posted here and it's possible some of 'our' documents could be donated over there.

Don't be misled by the "Full Size" moniker, they've got mid-size and compact info as well.


They also have a list of various registries.

Thanks for the posting Bob - trying to get Buick Guys/and Gals to share the info they have stashed - its a steep hill, not getting the support i would hope for. Would gladly add any thing you can send

The libraries are now contributors only

The full size Buicks registry has been shelved due to lack of participation - seems lots of people want to have info and benefits of a registry and the libraries - but very very few want to help make it happen.

The All Model years Buick libraries continue and are now contributors only access.

see the new libraries page for info on how gain access and to preview all the new books (way to long a list to put here)
http://buick-libraries.boattail-riviera-by-buick.com/

You can also see what coming to the libraries in this freeview of the new Boattail Registry /Libraries members Rivin it UPdate.

Thank you for the kind response - yes its not cheap hosting that much information and I get discouraged by the many who dont wish to contribute anything but will constantly ask for information or even try to manipulate their way in. (prior to becoming contributors only the libraries were receiving over 1600 users a month about 60% new - which really slowed thing down - total contributors that built what is now there less than 30 over the past year).

A few of the Boattai Registry members have taken on covering the hosting costs for the next 3 years.

-That's why there no ads on the site any longer. What we really need is for the rest Buick community to join in - preferably by scanning and sending those rare documents they have stashed away - or if they dont have any making a donation that we can use to buy more GM publications.

The member benefits are immense - you can get access to over 70,000 pages (another 10,000+ in the works) with as little as 100 page submission at each 250 accumulated pages you can choose pdfs of any of the publications in the library - most are cleanup fully searchable and bookmarked (some you cant get elsewhere) - - submission don't have to be GM publications, can be anything buick related, even just a list you compiled Really need pricing info for a big option, codes, availability and pricing project that is well under way, similiar to the boattail guide but for all buicks) or something you wrote about yourself that would be helpful to others Buick enthusiasts. this months member download included a compilation over a 100 pages of Buick option code info covering from late 30's to 1980 send iin by Sean Smith a forum here who has also helped with decodes - as well as a very comprehensive article with nailhead/rear axle specs and other info like interchangeability/parts etc he wrote. dont be like a Chevy/Mopar guy looking to profit from what everyone already knows - be Buick guy and share both the pride and knowledge.
