True or false about 1925 -25S

[Leif Holmberg]

In all my books I have never seen 1925-25 with a 120"wheel base,but when reading in my book Seventy years of Buick it tells that 1925-25S has a 120" wheel base,can anyone confirm that this`s right or wrong.?

Pickture.

THe Krause Published "Standard Catalog Of American Cars, 1805 - 1942", lists the Master 6 models as 120/128" wheelbase. I would assume frome this that the 40 series had 120 " wheelbases and the 50 series had 128" wheelbases. The Standard, 20 series cars are listed as 114.3 ".

I agree with you Bob,but did the Seventy years of Buick book tell the true story or not about 1925-25S ?????????.

Yes this is an interesting point that Leif has raised.

Can anyone confirm seeing one in their travels in the US? it would be good to know the acuracy of the information published, although it does sound like they were rare even when new - so we may never know.

True or false? 1925-25S

A Buick club Member in Western Australia has this 26-45X Master on the 120"chassis. As you can see it has the built in trunk rack and the shorter body. he said it has the Fisher body not an Australian body.

One of the advantages of belonging to the BCA is the monthly magazine.

In the September 2010 issue 1925 Buicks are well covered.

In 1925 there was a model 25, model 25 A, both with 114 wheel base plus a model 1925 25 S on a 120 inch wheel base with a production of 651 units.

Thanks Fred.In all my part books and other books I have for 1920:s Buick they all tells that 1925-20 models are 114.3" wheel base.Just wonder why none of the books didn`t tells the right story about 1925- 25S.

ROD W.In my books it tells that all 1925 model 40 has 120" W.B exept for model 48 and 49 with has 128" W.B.And all model 50 has 128" W.B.

Thanks from Leif in Sweden.

In Seventy Years of Buick, there is no sport Touring in either the 25-45 or the 26-45 which

both have the 120" WB. Where as the above car is a sport touring on a 120" WB. What we

don,t know is wether the 25-25-S. had a standard six motor or the master motor. You would

think if it had the standard body it would have the standard six motor as the standard bodies had a smaller (lower) radiator.

ROD W. I´m not a Buick US member any longer.But as Fred Rawling wrote ,2010 Buick monthly issue September maybe tell the hole thrus about 1925-25S if it had a Standard or Master engine,as above picture I only know it`s a Std.body on a 120" WB.
