dibarlaw Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hugh: Was this the one advertised and quickly sold on Portland region craigslist back in the summer? I remember that it was maroon, also with the engines /parts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbuick Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yes, I did go look at the car. A very sloppy 1960 fix up. It did start and run, looked OK from 20 feet. Top and seats were boat vinyl, carpets were hose carpet. rear fender seams filled with filler in places before a respray.. Still a workable car......... A solid car with tons of extra parts. It was offered to me for less, but was still a project and then to store all the good extra parts. These are the pictures from the original sellers place. So maybe it fell thru - or is being flipped and old pictures used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Super: Rod from Australia asked the question on the pre-war forum as if it might be a model 55 sport touring. I thought the listing from the summer said that it was a model 45. I could not tell from the photos from the original listing. The only thing that might be indicators are the windshield stanchions are nickeled and have the bosses for the wind wing mounting and the one photo shows a trunk. I know the sloppy 1960s " fix ups" usually employed what ever parts were handy. (My 1925 Standard touring was a case in point). Of course the Sport touring also would have fully nickeled head and parking lights. The 1924-55 is a stunning car.(photos from the 2012 Concord Buick National). My 1925 MASTER 6 touring appears to be quite complete although it was a 15 year spare time fix up from when the previous owner purchased it in 1964 till he had the top finished and got it on the road in the late 1970s. His son indicated that his father removed the body to re-do the chassis. I have the original running board splash shields which are pretty rough. He had some made up from galvanized metal, hence the massive paint loss in the photo. Of course how it had been stored for the last 25 years or so will require a lot of going over to make things a bit more presentable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbuick Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yes it is a 45 series. Came with 2 1/2 engines , couple of transmissions, lots of wheels and more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROD W Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Just thinking it might have been on the longer wheelbase as the centre pillar appears wider than this 24 -45, and Larry,s 25 -45. Its hard to see but it looks like it may have the wooden steering wheel. If somebody could contact the seller and get more photo,s it would be good.

dibarlaw Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Rod: I think you are correct about the wood spoke steering wheel. It also has the visor which the 1924-45 originally did not have. Comparing the distance between doors with the other photos I have of the 1924-55 it looks like a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unimogjohn Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 and in the sellers first pic you can see a trunk. There is no trunk on a model 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 John: I know that I suspected that it was a Model 55 from the trunk. But I have seen many add a fabricated carrier to include a trunk. The 1924-45 that shows up at Hershey in Sage Green, is a case of a model 45 done to resemble the model 55 Sport touring. Although it does not have the integral trunk shelf. It does have the double spare carrier. This 1924-45 McLaughlin has it out the front.. Comparing the photo that shows the trunk with my 1925-45 at about the same angle it appears that the rear tub is shorter than mine. I I am voting it is a model 55. The trunk shelf would clinch it. By the way ... I would love to do double spares on my Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblack Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 did they carrier the model 49 7 passenger touring into the 1924 model year. attached is my now gone 1923 model 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Tom: Yes. The 1924 line also had a model 49. Still shows a longer rear tub and no trunk. The Model 55 Sport touring tub is a bit narrower as it is considered a 4 passenger. This is the color my 1925-45 should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROD W Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) Here,s a 25-49 X, X for export, and the brackets for mounting the the double spare tyres. Not sure how the second tire is attached to the first. Edited December 18, 2016 by ROD W (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblack Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 i contacted the owner it does not have jump seats, so not a model 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 dibarlaw (Larry) the 25-45 also came in all black like the 24-45 if it's an early one. My 25-45 is all original black. When Buick started using lacquer they turned blue with black fenders . I think the one for sale is a 45 with an added trunk. Would need a pic of the back or dash to tell. The steering wheel looks like a 50 series though. Hmmmm. The only longer body is the model 49. I believe the 55 is a 45 on the longer chassis with the extra length in the back. The duel spare is accomplished by using the extensions that Buick supplied that fit into the standard tire carrier. I have a set for my car and will take a picture when I come across them.

dibarlaw Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 bubba: So glad you chimed in. I was going thru old Bugles looking for photos of your wonderful original car. I did find the Bugle with George's 1925-45 that I also saw in person at the Old Car festival. Also your accounting of Dave Chambers car. I know that other than some of the original paint and upholstery, George's car was not all original as stated in the Bugle article. In a subsequent issue you commented as to those items in question. I believe my Master was also black (not a trace of cobalt blue under anything) as was my 1925-25. I could not find a hint anywhere of Brewster Green. Indicating that they were both of the first type as noted in the Master Parts Book. I still have your email. Friend Peter R..... wishes you well. I will get in touch with you via e-mail.

Hubert_25-25 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hidden Hunter, It is possible that the Brewster Greens are the same color. The Brewster Green name was used by lots of manufacturers . I have seen it on Fords and Bentleys as well. I can paint you a panel of Buick Brewster Green and drop it in the mail to you. I do have the paint formula if you want to mix it up locally. Hugh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh My Cadillac (that's nearly here from the US!) is Brewster Green and I was curious more than anything if it was the same color - my caddy is a 1922 Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Kyle: Yes I love the maroon linoleum and is correct on the 1922,23 and 24 sport touring and roadsters. 1923 Model 55 1924 Model 55 In 1925 the parts books are not specific. "running board mat" I did light grey for my Standard for the front floor boards and when I get around to the running boards. My 1925 Master has black. My 1925 Model 45 with newly installed floor thimble. The photo of the 1924-44 shows black or dark grey linoleum. Myself, I do not care for the pinkish tan upholstery. 1924 Model 44 1925 Model 55 at Brookfield meet. Grey linoleum on running board. Note: Top is finished in the style of a 1924. 1924 model 49 with grey linoleum. To me it looks great with the dark blue.
