Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
I've heard some of the tires on early cars will hold up quite well to the test of time:
Leading evidence: 'Test of time' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test of time' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Has nothing to do with our Porsche cars but this is an amazing car. It has averaged only about 260 miles a year for the last 77 years. Even the tires are still original. For those that are curious its a 1938 Buick. I bought it last week to keep the Porsche company.
Wow! Will you get a second set of wheels to exercise it with, or is it better to give the original rubber some turns to keep them as elastic as possible? What moved you to get this particular car?
I got me a set of brand new COKER tires that LOOK like the original ones so that I can drive the car. I saved the old tires for conversation and who knows what. I also had the wheel bearings repacked. I bought the car because as a kid (about 16) I liked the old Buicks. They were overhead valves when most engines were flatheads, they seemed fast back then. I also liked how smooth they rode compared to most. I have enclosed an old advertisement that I think you guys might enjoy reading and a few more pics. I would like to eventually take some pics next to the 996, to me they are both eye candy.
Pete, when I was young people realized that cars were pretty safe, the DRIVERS were the problem.Today all cars have air bags, seat belts, impact bumpers, turn signals, abs braking, rear view mirrors, padded dash, collapsible steering wheels, etc. The early cars didn't have this stuff. The drivers were expected to pay attention. Since over time it was realized that the drivers were becoming used to better brakes and power steering and automatic transmissions and driving was becoming very easy. Now the cars all look alike and are very safe but the drivers are even less attentive. Its almost impossible to drive for a whole week without seeing an accident, even a day is getting rare. Here is my idea to make the highways safe once more. I suggest that every car be equipped with a razor sharp RHINO HORN that extends from the horn button to about 3 inches from the drivers chest, the tip of the RHINO HORN would be dipped in Cuarie, a poison that is placed on the tips of arrows when the tribes hunted in Africa. If the poison coated nicks the drivers skin he will die almost instantly. As the number of bad drivers are eliminated from the highways they will become safe again and the manufactures will be able to have chrome bumpers and any design they want and the cars will once again look great and will be different from each other. Motorcylists who have had to put up the lousy drivers for decades will start to live longer. Just another idea from a guy most consider crazy but one that works, unlike most solutions to any problem today.
