A guess but based on Buicks I had I would say late teens as the wheel has a wooden felloe as opposed to metal.

Jerry ...I wonder if that drive train would fit in my 25 Chevy?? I'll stop over and take a look at your car for before and after inspiration. To add to the mix of anyone willing to make the trip they can swing by my garage and I,ll send them home with another engine and trans and assorted stuff. I think my engine is a 1951 or 52 it was in a 1949R16 truck that I had as a parts donor. My wife said it must go so down the road it went but i snuck the engine out first.

It is hard to believe that prices on and interest in old cars are so soft...I was unable to mount any serious interest in my 1930 Chev roadster...best bet is just to drive it and enjoy it when you least expect it someone will seek you out to buy it

Justin and I were close to a deal but shipping costs across the country are too much to have value when you are done. Note a plug for the car it was built by Harold Johansen...do a little research on his name and you find he had a long distinguished career in his type of racing. Engine is probably really well done.

Should be a fun ride...great style with the 2 door model...century supposedly 100 mph car but a little scary at 90mph. Mine is now somewhere over near Russia in one of the former "stan" countries. Good luck and have fun

JBuick.....I had the same model nice car I sold it few years back. On one of my spare engines the water pump shaft had been cut and a new piece added....they retained all the complicated parts of the shaft assossiated with the gear and bushing and simply replaced the straight 3/4 shaft through the pump. the new shaft and old shaft were coupled with a keyed coupler. Note on the 1921...they were cutting corners that year and it is required to oil the sleeve bearing coming out of the water pump gear every 500 miles. I went about 700 miles and the shaft tied right up. I eventually remedied
