Guest buickrestorer Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The engine number on my 1926 Buick Master-Series Six Sedan, Model 26/47 is #1462608. Does anyone know if this is an early engine number?Thanks, wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The first Master serial number for 1926 is 1426599. I guess the engine number will be very close to that. Your number is certainly quite early probably in the first month of production. There should be a casting date on the block which I would guess at mid 1925 sometime? I don't know how long they matured the block castings for. The only car I have which I know those dates for is a 1965 Pontiac. The block was cast in late July 1964 (where was the foundry??) and the car was assembled in California in the first week of September 1964.

Guest buickrestorer Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks! I also have found the Serial Number on the right hand side of the chassis is 1418833. I guess this also qualifies for an early production? Thank you for the information.Thanks, wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The figure I quoted earlier was from The Standard Catalog. This source - http://www.buickclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/bca_judging_manual.pdf - the BCA judging manual, gives 1412093 as the first 1926 Master serial number which would putyour car somewhere in the early part of the year's output. Have you found your casting date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buickrestorer Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Still working thru the grease, dirt, weeds and oil - nope not yet. Where would I find the casting date? Thank you for this information, appreciated.wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
