I never heard of the Buick being in it.  I don't think
the 3.5 litre engine saw the light of day in 1960.

The Peerless and Warwick have had articles on them in past
issues of VTR magazine.  
There were very few of each made.  If you can find one, it is unique,
drivetrain is straightforward TR, but body, etc. is a tough
item to locate parts for.

What else do you need to know?
