Thanks for sharing your early Buick photograph.  These are very hard to come by and that is neat that you still have the engine and serial numbers of a car that your grandfather owned.  The Jaguar cars have a VIN registry and you can find cars that are adjacent to your car numbers.  I do not know if Buick has any such registry.  Many of these cars were registered by VIN and many others by engine number in the early days.  Brian is correct on the year and model.         Hugh

Plus Buick run in the family. This is mine.

Thanks Hugh.

The purchase was documented in his ledger. He included the plate, engine number and VIN number. Purchase price was $1,350.00. He put $700.00 down, and made payments of $57.49 per month for 1 year. I wish I could have that deal. How would you suggest trying to find if it is still around? I tried a couple of automotive VIN sites, but you need a 17 digit VIN.

I am researching a car my grandfather used to own. I have the vin, but no specifics about the car. I would like to know what it was. VIN is 1047526, engine # 1061938, only identified as Buick six. Entry from his journal says it was bought June 14, 1923. Photo is below. Any information would be appreciated.
