Leif in Calif

The 7 main six follows the pattern of the first Chryslers, designed by Zeder, Breer and Skelton. That engine was very advanced for it's time (1924) but redesigned with 4 main bearings beginning in 1930. No doubt cheaper to manufacture. The "big" eight used in the Imperial also followed this pattern (9 main bearings!) , where as the smaller eight was more closely related to the redesigned six, which continued in use (with updates) into the late 60's.

much work needed...maybe 30 years ago when this assemblage would have been $1200 and I was younger... The ad shows a contact number but I'm not able to get it (CL Error) https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/d/centralia-1927-buick-master-six-brougham/7726952974.html# For sale is a 1927 Buick master six Brougham. I started work on it but medical condition has stopped my work on it. Does need some metal work, plus also needs some of the wood body frame replaced. Comes with 2 engines, 2 transmissions, newer tires, plus I bought a whole new wiring harness for the car that is made of the same type of materials that the car would have had when it was new. Comes with 2 updraft carburetors, plus several other items I have bought for it. The pictures are decent and gives you an idea what condition it is in. This was a survivor when I got it but at some point in it's life it had a new roof put on it and the job was bad and it leaked hence the rot in the wood frame. In 1927 this was the top of the line for Buick and is a very large 4 door car. The car has a inline OHV 274 ci engine. The 1927 Master six Brougham had a production of only about 119 thousand give or take. While I loathe the word rare, this is an uncommon car to come by these days. It has to my understanding always lived here in Lewis county. If you have further questions please feel free to get a hold of me and ask. Just for added info even though the car pics show no doors on it all 4 are there and intact. email: 94e7113e5c003c90aa5fce942f725ce6@sale.craigslist.org

They may not be...luckily the power applied through them and the speed they attain is also similar to a bicycle.

Dig that crazy upholstery!

Very nice car for Model A money! You don't get the Ford's wonderful club network and parts support, but this car has some great features, including a seven main bearing engine, full pressure oiling (with a filter!) and 4 wheel hydraulic brakes.

Yes! In my project management days, I once had some materials near the Oregon border that needed to be shipped ASAP via air freight to avoid a big financial penalty. Try as we might, there was simply no way from that neck of the woods to an airport in a reasonable amount of time.

GM's 2 speed automatic (Powerglide, nick named Powerslide) was a favorite of the drag crowd and in use into the 1970's. The attraction was the high stall speed of the torque converter. I wonder if Packard's could be made more responsive with a different converter.....(no doubt way more trouble than it's worth)

Is that big steel plate on the frame normal? Looks like the high school medal shop class did it in the first week of school.

Delusional price ($40K!) and terrible photos...it seems like it's probably a very nice car. Will the buyer actually take "reasonable" offers?

One thing that hasn't been mentioned: FOOD! New Mexican food is not Mexican food. New Mexico is pretty unique in that many families have been there for hundreds of years. A few years ago I met a young man there who's family came from Spain during the Inquisition (they are Jewish). Different spices and different dishes. Last year we took a cooking class where they talked about the "terroir" of peppers! (look it up...hard to explain.) Santa Fe was founded approximately the same time in the 1600s as James Town and the other places we normally think of as the beginning of our country. Because New Mexico has remained largely rural and poor, the culture and cuisine has remained mostly intact. Good Eating!
