Guest imported_Thriller Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 If I have it right, according to the <span style="font-style: italic">Standard Catalog of Buick</span>, it appears to be a 1925 model from the frame number. Can you measure the wheelbase? 114" would be the Standard and 120" or 128" for the Master series.Dave Corbin is the resident numbers guy...with frame and engine numbers, he can usually get it to the model and possibly additional information. Hopefully he'll be able to shed some more light for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Harry, I recently purchased a parts car (actually what was left of a car made into a tractor) to get spares for my 24 Master Six Buick PU Truck. I will be glad to help you with parts ID and/or may be able to spare some parts to get yours going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Rawling Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Harry, On the Buick Club web sight, there is a link to the Judging Manual. It will give you some information about your car and the tire size which is 600 x 22 for 1925. In those days, tire size was also stated as 30 x 4. To translate that, multiply the 4 x 2 and subtract that from the 30 which gives you 22 inches.Also go to http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/1927buicks.If you join the group, you can get into the listing on the left side of the screed under the title "Files". The 5th item in the files list is an article on early 6 Cylindder Buicks by David Chambers. Print it out. It will tell you a whole lot about these early buicks.I have a 1922, 1927 and 1928 Buick. I drive the 1928 regularly. If you need help, you need to e-mail me at fred.rawling@live.com or post on the 1927 buicks group as those messages come directly to my e-mail. I do not get on this forum regularly.You are looking at a lot of money to get that car running. As an example, the points, condenser, rotor and distributor cap are going to cost around $100.00.I would suggest that you get the car inside somewhere and start cleaning up different parts and putting them back on the car. You can be acomplishing something while trying to find the missing parts. The biggest mistake that I see people making is taking everything apart and nothing ever gets back on the car. Then they end up with a pile of nothing. Another thought is that everyone seems to go out and buy a new set of tires $400.00, right away. When the car finally gets done, the tires are old and cracked. If you can find some old used, worn out, cheep, tires they would work fine until you were ready to take the car out on the road. You car did not originally have a key switch on the dash board. If it was a closed car, it did not have an ignition key. If it was an open car, it had a key slot in the combination switch. Buicks did not come with bumpers until 1928. Bumpers were an aftermarket item. Check the passenger side of the firewall under the hood for a square data plate which will give the model number of the car. Fred Rawling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_arbys Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Mark,I really like your pickup. It wouldn't take much to make it into a Speedster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Arbys, It already drives like a speedster. I plan to make a matching canvas cover for the bed with roll-up sides & back. It should work great for selling stuff at swap meets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Rawling Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 HARRY,It occured to me that you can use wheels from other year cars as long as the wheel bearings are the same. 1922 to 1923 4 cyl, 1925 to 1928 6 cyl wheels all use the same front wheel bearings, both inner and outter.D, E, H, K, & 1922 to 1925 rear wheels use the same wheel bearings.The conclusion would seem to be that you can change the wheel and rim within these years.The thing to watch is the height of the wheel and if it will clear the body.1922 6 cyl. wheels are 25 inches, 1923 and 1924 6 cyl are 24 inches, 1922 to 1924 4 cyl are 22 inches,1925 wheels are 22 inches, 1926 to 1928 are 21 inch.
