[What era is this logo design?]

The traditional Buick script  was used from 1913-1935.

Then this logo was used for dealer identification from 1936 to the 1950s.

 

[What era is this logo design?]

This is the 1912 Model 36 at the AACA museum that you show the gas tank mounted logo.

 I wonder if they are still identifing it as a 1910. I documented the specs for them back in 2019.

[1918 Buick tail light]

David:

 This is how they did a 1924-45 that had an accessory double spare carrier. Except they used the cowl light housings with adapted modern plastic lens'.

 Below was another variation on a 1924-45 done as a "tribute" model 55 in Sagebrush green. This time using the original center tail light and adding 2 more large series cowl lights for added brake and turn siginal. I think that is what I will do with my 1925 Master.

 What was on my car when I brought it home.

  

 After almost 7 years of owning the car I finally came up with a pair of large series cowl lights. I just have to find red lenses to adapt.

[1927 Buick $9,500 FBM add recent price drop]

Yes, it is a 1928 Model 54C Country Club Coupe. Great design and colors for the time. Looks to have been fixed up at some time in the dim past. The landau bars are not placed correctly. So the top material may have been replaced. Even on the restored example below the bars are on the wrong side.

The water return tube has been recreated by plumbing components. Originally steel.

I like it! But from my experience with my 1925 Master Touring it will be double the price to get it to be in reliable driver condtion. My car had been "RESTORED"?? in the 1960s-1980.

Easy to make a driver since it had already been "Restored" once. Not so.....

Typical discriptor of dad taking everything apart and repainting..... except ignoring worn out components.

Even then I have found a lot of areas where dirt and grease were painted over. After 6 years I am still not done....

I have to concentrate!

[1914 Brass Buick]

What condition is the car in question? What Model Buick is it? We do have knowledgeable Buick people in North and South Carolina. Current photos will help.

 These are 2 1914 Buicks I had offered on.

 1914 B-37 Touring.

When we first looked at the car in 2010 I had an estimate of over $10,000 to redo the upholstery.

 

 1914 B24 Roadster. Prossibly first "restored" in the 1950s. Note the burgandy chassis as well as stripped and varnished wheels. Old photo before it was dissasembled for "RE-Restoration" and the process abandoned for 20+years.

  

 

[1922 Buick new top begins]

Mark:

 Since you are going with a Burbank like cloth color, the plated ends would not make much contrast.

 Leif's 1925-25 car with original Burbank cloth detailing.

 A green binding to be close to the dark green body color and matching snaps. The rear hidem ends are black and the front ones are nickle plated. I believe that was a later addition by him.

 I have a business card with this car. I received it in 2014. At the time the car was owned by

Cliff & Betty Hay.

The owner did dispose of all the engine and components to a nother local person who seems to be willing to part things out. Not all scrapped yet!

 Was this the car the transmission top went into you got from me?

[Headlight ID help please]

1926 or 1927 Master, depending on diameter of Bezel

['27 Buick Roadster - Where to sell?]

What a nearly all original 1927-24 looks like. Top, Paint, plating and upholstery are original. The dark blue/gray belt stripe and some of the red pin stripe has been worn off through 95 years of polishing. I do like the Patrol Green and Cream combo.

 My friends original 1927-54 Master Sport Roadster... Top, Paint, Plating, upholstery original.  Standards came with Black tops and Master had Burbank cloth.

 

Striping detail. Photo before He swapped out to Buffalo wire wheels. The bead stripe appeard to be more of a dark blue/gray towards black.

 

 

 

[Buick 24/45 Restoration Project]

Hugh:

 I have offered some items and John said he will get back to me. Again the 1924-45 was a Black only car.

I bid on this 1924-45 at auction in 2010. This shows the correct top patern. Wheel striping is correct.

 

 Alan Wohl and I have early 1925-45s that were also Black. When Buick started using DUCO in mid year 1925 that color was changed to Cobalt Blue. Alan's 1925-45 has all the original body paint and original striping, top and upholstery.

[Raise your hand if you drove at least one old Buick this weekend]

Did a Prewar tour here in Central PA. We had about 30 cars registered. 160 mile round trip plus 10 miles driving the 275 acre estate's trails.

 

[Favorite Pictures of My Pre War Buick]

Participated in the Stone Gables tour organized by Nick Sieber today.

Not as hot as anticipated and the thunder showers held off. Very good venue for the prewar vehicles. Many Model A and T Fords. There were 3 Buicks; a 1910 Model F,

  

 My 1925 Standard and Nick's 1940 model 41. Hopefully someone got a photo of it.

The featured showpiece of the property is the Star Barn in the background.

Mark:

 I spoke to Rick this morning. He has held up in doing any bending this week with the heat and humidity. When he starts the steam box it gets to be over 140 degrees in the area.

 He said he will do bending next week.

[1925 Buick Standard Engine and parts NOT MINE]

John:

 I do have some spare 21" Standard rims if needed. I will ask Dave B about a spare tire carrier. I am still trying to rework a correct but very rusted, bent carrier for my 1925-25. As they cut my original down for 21" rims.

[1925 Buick Standard Engine and parts NOT MINE]

As 27donb has laid out that scenario would be great. I did my part by getting the collection of 1924-1925 Parts from Bend Oregon to Vancouver where it was stored in Mark Shaw's garage. While there many items were distributed to collectors on the west coast. I did get a few parts for 27 donb on his 1924-45 project. There was still an abundance of parts left with Mark. After 2 years he wanted my clutter gone from his Buick barn since the running 25 Standard engine found no takers out his way. 

 

 Now all resting comfortably in the corner of my garage after its treck across the USA.

 All that has gone is a Master Starter/Generator. I had to ship it back to Callifornia at a cost of $100. A few pieces to 27donb and the front springs to a gentelman in North Carolina with a 1926-20. A set of headlights sold at Hershey. Many pieces still available right here in the Mid Atlantic area!

 

[1925 Buick Standard Engine and parts NOT MINE]

It has gotten to a point that the gentelman was not successful in selling. He wants all the clutter gone. It is free if someone takes it all.

 Otherwise to the scrap it goes!!!!!

[1927 Buick 27-24 Project]

Here are a few photos of my friends very original Master Sport Roadster Model 54. Attachments and such are similar to the Model 24.

1925 Buick engine and transmission (6 cylinder).  I just removed from a parts/project car.  I have no history, and I have no Buick expertise.  Appears complete to my untrained eye.  Consider the engine and transmission for parts or core.  I will not ship.

[Free 1924 Buick engine, transmission and other goodies]

Go get it John!

 Grab all the parts you can! Remember to many this is all junk, trash, scrap....... that is untill you need a specific part! Before I got my 1925 Master I thought the former owner's were going to keep it. At the time there were 2 complete chassis with engines and some sheet metal in NY. A time restraint was imposed on pick up and they were not interested. Those went to scrap..... I realize the spare dissasembled 1924 6 cyl engine that came with the 1925 Master

takes up too much space but I have been able to use a piece here and a component there that otherwise would be "unobtanium". The transmission went to Jeff Jones in South Carolina to get his 1924-45 back on the touring circuit.

[Free 1924 Buick engine, transmission and other goodies]

There is a rolling 1925 Master chassis 2 hours from me in Maryland. I wish I had a place to keep these  things. There is another 1925 Standard engine /trans in Washington for sale on the forum. I already spent a lot of effort and money getting one spare engine from Kentucky and even more from Oregon/Washington. Hopefully there will be someone able to get these in WI. My first encounter with a disposal of a"rebuilt" 25 standard engine and all other mechanicals (rat rod project) from Tennessee back in 2012. Individual items were on Ebay. Ended up by all going to scrap for $158.00. I offered $500 for all at the time before the auction was over. The owner did not get back to me and did not want to be bothered.

 The rat rod builder liked to use the "Smoke Wrench" to disconnect the rear axle at the torque tube.

[1927 Buick 27-24 Project]

Give us a location as we all would like to help.

Example at the 2018 BCA National at Denver.

There is a gentleman who restored a 1927-24 as a period modified that was shown at the 2019 BCA National. Flipped manifold, dual exhaust, Master rear and front axles to fit the Buffalo wire wheels. He is sometimes on the forum.

I was almost blackmailed into buying a 27-24 so it would not be cut up, a 350 stuck in it so it could go down the road at 80 mph! I do not know where it is now.

Friends in our region have a wonderful ORIGINAL 27-24. One of the ones that got away from me.

 At our Mason/Dixon Car show in 2019.

One other 27-24 recently aquired by a friend of mine in South Carolina for his daughter. Much modified with a Master rear axle. I need for him to send me photos of that one.
