Leif Holmberg Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I was looking at a 1926 chassie with engine number 1582754,it`s adverticed as the only 1926-49 ever built.In (Seventy years of Buick) there seems to be 115 mod 49X built for export and 1 mod 49 for domestic. Someone know if this`s the engine number is for a 49X mod. Second question,what is a Enclosed Touring in 1926. Thanks Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 My Standard Catalog of American Cars lists only one Model 49 with a price of $4995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 In my Master parts List there are none mod 49 listed,but in George H Dammann:s Seventy Years of Buick tells that there are 115 mod 49X built for export, and 1 mod 49 for special order, for domestic sale.All these are Enclosed Touring cars.In 1925 there seems to be a lot of Enclosed Touring cars and even Enclosed Roadster mod .

Guest DaveCorbin Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Dear Leif: The engine number you give is an engine for a 1926 Model 49 or 50 series. The frame number issued to the only USA 1926 Model 49 was 1,463,024. I have the frame numbers for the 1926 49x's also, so if you can post the frame number, I can tell you for sure what it is.

Leif Holmberg Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks Dave. When I looked at the chassie I couldn`t find thechassie number,I asked the owner to send the number to me but it seems that he don`t want to give it to me.(I`m Sorry)(Adverticed as ready for paint and uppholstery ?.) Do you know if it`s right that Buick made 115 of 49X mod.for export.If I ever got the number I`ll be back. Thanks once again Leif in Sweden.

Leif Holmberg Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hi Beto. Nice to hear that you could use the pics. I sent to you. Here are a page you can take a look at where to find the chassie number. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveCorbin Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Dear Leif: I show that Buick issued 115 frame numbers but only built 113 cars as 1926 Model 49X's. There was 1 additional car for USA use. Having a few frame numbers not used wasn't unusual at that time. Regards, Dave Corbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
