Vintage

The cars are in the California foothills near Grass Valley. I guess the second 18 was a parts car because it was not running? I agree that they are pretty similar other than one runs - both have engine, trans, etc.. There are spare frames, wheels, doors, etc.. The hope would be to find someone that wanted a package deal.

Thanks for the info so far. The 18 runs and is a 6 cylinder and has a matching parts car. I would be interested in what folks here think as to possible value of the cars. I actually have no idea, I'm more familiar with vintage race cars. The 22 is fully restored, maybe $25k? The 26 is 90% restored, maybe $15k Maybe $20k for both 18s? There are additional parts for all of them. Any of this in the ballpark? I'm trying to help the surviving wife deal with this. Attached are shots of the 18 parts car and both of the 18 dashboards, which seem to have rectangular switch box.

I’m helping a friend try to sell a number of prewar Buicks. I’m wondering if the vin # can be used to identify what the model is? for instance 858959 is a 1918 4 door 6 cylinder - is there more info in the vin # 855239 is a 1922 Touring car? 1605504 is a 1926 2d? Any suggestions would be helpful. thanks, Vintage
