29 Buick Roadster On CL

Hi All,

I came across this 29 Buick Roadster on the Indianapolis Craigslist. The ad says it's a 27 but I disagree. I don't know anything about this car so don't ask me but if any of you guys collect 29 parts the way I collect 28 parts I'd be all over this thing.

"1927 Buick roadster rat rod project

Pretty much rust free. Does not have rear end , interior, motor or tranny. Come with a bill of sale doesn't have a title. Trade up down or sideways. Call joe @765-469-2416"

He is asking $3,200

Definitely 1930 40 Series.

In addition to what Rooster has pointed out.

Shutters on radiator

Dash map light over instruments is round

No metal infill on lower windshield posts - 1930 use 1 piece screen.

Rear springs ( although not there ) are different.

Notice a couple of wire wheels.

A doner sedan would make this a real viable proposition or that sheet metal would make a real nice modified Buick, without destroying a complete car.

That was my thought. There are a lot more chassis in this world with good running gear and no body than there are bodies with no running gear, and a roadster to boot.

PS maybe Lamar will post the pictures for this one too :)

What's up with all the radiators

Thanks for posting Dave.

Looks like the seller has collected some parts from a 1930 Master as well. One of the spare radiators is taller and if you look at the hood it is also too long and tall to fit properly and is actually sitting over the top of the radiator. All good stuff to trade though and yes, a nailhead would fit in there nicely!

Serial # would indicate 1929. Small series numbers start at 2225361. Larger 2 wheelbases start at 2240300. 1930 larger series start at 2439593 and 2489593. Looks like a good project for the right person.

Apparently my error on the numbers. BCA Judging manual shows the serial number shown in the picture is for 1930. Don't know the source for the BCA numbers as the 28-41 Parts Book indicates both engine and serial numbers supposedly to be the same and lists only the engine numbers. No separate serial numbers are listed. I agree with Ken and Stuart that all the features indicate 1930.
