1227321 engine 1924 Master and 1421753 is a late 1925 Master engine. (1926 Master engine starts with 1456915) -
As usually the owner just think there are one model,do you need the hole lighting switch or just the levels? here are a std.model round,and a master model oval but the same type of levels. If you need just the levels you can buy them at Bob:s Automobilia.

AHa. What happens about the latches,anything that whould fit on his Stephens?

Yes it still looks the same,but no more 300 miles trips.

In 1976 We was on a trip to Norway tenting with our 3 children in our 1925-25 Buick.,Rain-rain-rain all the time and we drove home 300miles the same day and the speed was around 35-50 miles all the time. When people ask who are the best Buicks I own? I always tell people that my 1925-25 are the very best one.I`m the second owner and have had this Buick since 1967 and still own the car.

KEK. To drive at 45-50 mph should work,but remember to slow down some times. There are severel way I think to change the caster just a few degres without to bent the axle. To put a wedge between the front axle and the spring. Longer or shorter front spring shackles. I even think if the springs are to strait(exhousted) can cause a wrong caster angle? But of course if you can solve the wobbling with the work you already have done that`s the best and easiest way I think. I looked at the front axle on my 1923 but I had removed the wedges between the axle and spring ,can`t remember way?

Why i was interressted about your wobbling was that 15 years ago I restored a 1923 4 cyl.Buick and it was wobbling at the same speed as yours car. But my problem was a wrong caster angle , i don´t remember if it was negativ-posetiv or zero,but i changed the angle and it worked. I have never had that problem with the wheels-tires on my 6 different 1920S Buicks as you have had. Thanks for your answer.

KEK. Just hope you will tell how you fixed the wobbling?
