John Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Looks like a deal if you're into this era: 1922 Buick Touring ConvertibleNot mine, and I don't know seller.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BJM Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Wow John. What a bargain even if a person has to apply some elbow grease. 4 door tourings are so rare to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackofalltrades70 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 There was a thread on here awhile back about this car and trying to get it running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yes folks this is the same car we didn't get running last June. John and I got close but it had more problems than we could tackle on a 100 degree day. The owners son it seems has now posted it on craigslist. Unless they did get the local mechanic they said that they would send it to get things up and running, don't think any thing has changed. The photos they posted were from over 9 years ago. When he and his wife were still touring with the B.O.O.M. club. His wife passed some years ago and he lost enthusiasm for the car. Our assesment was that it had been tinkered with so much that many systems were out of adjustment. Ignition / fuel /electrical. Had 2 bent push rods and stuck valves which we freed up. It tried to start but with a little more time... we may have done it. I did make a low offer reflecting what I thought it needed. Fuel system complete rebuild. Valve job, cooling system still not evaluated, brakes probably. The tires were very old NON SKIDS pretty worn out. On the plus side the top was a quality job with side curtains (plastic is now oilly yellow) and there are some spare parts. Looks to have been done over in the 1960s on a pretty solid car. I know another member on the Fourm has tried to buy it but they seem to be fixed on $9,000. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unimogjohn Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Unless Larry steps up and says that the will help, I would call Paul Rose. He knows the early Buicks (has a 23). I know that he will come to them too, or they can send it to his shop. It will be money well spent doing it right the first time.

jscheib Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Craigslisting has been deleted. Any idea if it was sold?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unimogjohn Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I talked/emailed Larry. We think so. But the new owner is unknown at this point. May be a member of this fourm. We will leave it to him to come forward at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbuickgs Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I should have said in post #6 the 22's new owner is Boyle Buick in Abington , Maryland. They have some questions about the operation of a 22, so if anyone can help them , contact Blake Boyle in the service dept at Boyle BUICK. 410 515 6100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I would love to help again. But the distance and location was any thing but convienent. John's Paul Rose suggestion is where I would go. I already have too much to take care of with my 1925 and 1937 for this summer. I will call them to see if there are some things to be answered over the phone.
