Not a speedster, some ttype of roadster, could be any age but would be a guess it is for what they all call a 23 tub, if any 1923 parts kind of a waste that should go on a 23 from that year.

Looks to me like a 1918-1922 era roadster. Turtle deck would be a popular slang description. Tub usually refers to a hot rod with a touring car body, as opposed to the more common roadster based rod.

Hope this helps, Greg in Canada

I'll toss in my $0.02

It looks to be what is refered to as a "clover-leaf roadster" or "chumie" - which is to say a roadster with a back seat. It looks to me that the trunk opening is too small and there is a ton of room between the back of the seat and the door for it to be a conventional roadster...

May not be worth the $0.02...

Yes, a 18- 20 Buick roadster is a definite possibility. The cowl is possibly the same as a touring, but the doors would have to come from a roadster. Buick touring car's are quite common, roadsters are much rarer. I have seen lots of the touring's over the years {and own two of them}, but only one or two roadsters. You could try Dean Tryon's 1916 -17 Buick owners group { a great bunch of teens Buick guys} , but there is a definite emphasis on antique Buick's rather than anything to do with hot rod's.

Good luck! Greg in Canada
