[1927 Buick 27 transmission questions]

I do not know if you found any paint on the inside of your bell housing. None of my earlier 1925 units and my 1937 show any such paint. Just saying with the cost of paint I would not have wasted time and materials painting insiide. On the other hand, when I had my engine rebuilt the oil pan and lower crancase was re-coated with red Glytol.  The oil pan does get pinholes from many years of acid effect of oil and combustion byproduct.

That is how it was designed. I thought that mine was worn on my 1925-25. I changed it out for another slightly less worn. No noticeable change in how the clutch engaged.

1927  Buick ?

 

 

Probably one of the 115 1926 model 49X chassis for export. As there is no listing for a model 49 7 passenger touring except for (1) as an enclosed touring. 1927 listed no 5 or 7 passenger tourings on the 120 or 128" wheel base chassis. Only 1927 tourings listed were for 5 passenger standard sport touring and the model 55 4 passenger sport touring. Looking at the style of the top bow it may have been one of the 1927 McLaughlin specials.

I have contacted him for my friend who is about 10 miles from him. Just a trial for me conversing through facebook. He changed the designation to 1932-68 so it is to have a 272 cu in engine.

 Now if only he will give me his # so we can give him a call.

You show the heat riser being painted.

 Make sure the inner steel tubing sleeve has no pin holes. Or you will have runability issues. These sleeves were a common replaceable service item by the late 1920s.

Mick:

 Just let me know which units you need.

What the 1924-44 is to look like.

One for sale over 10 years ago in it's correct Cobalt Blue..

If you choose to accept this mission I have some 1924 6 cylinder parts. 

1924 shell on the right. Also a 24 Radiator with good tanks.

[Top socket repair needed]

Mel Drapper made the socket set for my 1925 Buick. 

He also had local people make the Bows.

[1927 Buick 27-27]

After a lot of work straightening, body work and filling.

[1927 Buick 27-27]

I ran the process for about 6 hours.

 The carrier looked like something found on the deck of the Titanic. Also pretty bent up.

[1932 Buick $6,800 Listed about an hour ago in Middleburg, PA FBM]

I had to get into the ad title on facebook before it saw the noted Md 58. I do not understand why the wonky angled photos. Just down the road from Middleburg my friend just sold 2 of his 1932s.

Several years ago we looked at this 1932 Md 96 near Pittsburgh.

Then of course with the liquidation of Mac Blair's estate there seems that many more 32s are now available.

[News flash: English antique auto expert says something good about America, re: 1915 Buick 6 cyl.]

Not a 1915 but it is an early 1916 build (fall of 1915) similar to Terry Wiegands car.

[1932 Buick $6,800 Listed about an hour ago in Middleburg, PA FBM]

Any idea what series this is?  50? 60? 80? 90? I believe 1932s had 18" wheels.

[1927 Buick 27-27]

Kiddie pools are great!

I used mine to do electrolysis for de-rusting my 1925 Buick spare tire carrier.

Kevin:

 When I installed my tank to my 1925-45 I cut up one of my old leather belts. I punched holes and riveted.

 Now I guess I need suspenders.

[Standard six head gasket]

Olsons Gaskets would be your best bet. My 1925 had a later composite gasket on it also. The coper asbestos version would be the correct replacement.

Thanks Pete:

 Looks to be a 1926 Model 48. Master. Noted to be on the 128" WB chassis.  Original color notes as being Lotus Blue.

Robin:

 I will inquire as to who was the purchaser after my attempt as I believe he had some work done by a restoration shop near Uniontown PA. The original restorer/owner may be well documented in old AACA records. As you see by the 1950s AACA and Glidden tour badges on the dash

and below the seat. If I had been able to buy the car I would have pursued it.

Note Mark Shaw's photos show the correct sidelamps. Mark Shaw and I had long conversations about this car when I was considering a counter offer.

Pictures yet?

Thanks for your post on the battery box. My 1925 Standard has a very nice one while my 1925 Master looks like what you started with. Now I have to get busy.

[I Thought Young Guys Don't Buy Prewar Cars.....]

Nick Sieber's 1928 Buick Model 47 out for a drive in the snow last week. Nick is in his mid 20s. He has a 1940 Buick Md. 41.  A 1930 Ford Sedan and I believe a 1916 Studebaker Touring. Also a 1919 H-45 Buick on the horizon. He set up a tour last summer at the Stone Gables Elizabethtown PA.

Here is what Nick is planning for 2024.

Robin1956:

If you have looked at my old posts then you know most of the story of my attempt to purchase the car. The family I tried to buy the car from was in Belle Vernon PA. We scheculed a day to come and drive the supposidly running car.  We agreed to a price for the running driving car. When we arrived nothing but excuses. The only problem stated was a touchy second gear. We made a counter offer because of condition which was refused The next Pennsylvania owner after haveing much work done to get the car back on the road was doing a local tour and lost 2nd gear entirely. It was after that time when I saw it for sale at Hershey. When I inquired I was told it was going to England.

[1913 Buick 31 Exported to England]

That would be me!

What it looked like when I offered on it back in 2015-2016. I was not running nor had it been run for many years.
