Brass is Best Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I used to own the 1911 Buick Model 26 pictured (my picture as well). It was a great little runabout. How about a 1912 Mitchell touring? More information at www.petersmotorcars.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Mr. Sliger Machine, keep checking the website of the Horseless Carriage Club of America (www.hcca.org). They have a buy-sell section, and there are always a couple of dozen brass-era cars for sale in various price ranges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcarnut Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 There is very nice 1912 Buick model 35 for sale on the HCCA site. It is owned and was restored by a friend of mine in Pittsburgh, PA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer09 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 What is your budget-roughly and how many cylinders? there is quite a selection out there! Many brass owners are passing and prices have dropped somewhat. Buick is a great choice and Brass Buicks Club offers some great knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I know it's not a Buick, but I have a 1911 Hupmobile runabout for sale. 1960 or so restoration, so somewhat dated. I had it running briefly, but carb is leaking (it has a Stromberg OF carb on it, I have an original Breeze carb that could go with it as trade plus cash for the OF. Nice Victor headlights, nice Dietz Dainty sidelights. $10,500. A good starter brass car. Located in Winchester Virginia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I know a little about White automobiles, having seen an early one professionally restored. This appears to be a good buy, but do your research on that particular model before you buy. I'm not saying this is one of them, but some Whites were unusually engineered, particularly from the electrical viewpoint..... This sure looks like a nice car for the price range, though.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hupmobile you have is a nice car, too, and whoever buys it won´t have to hire security guards when they leave it for 10 minutes. Dashing looking body, RHD, looks all there, and it´s in better shape than some 10-year-old cars! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 1911 Hupp engine looks decent. It has a Stromberg OF carb instead of the original Breeze. Model T guys love the OF. I had it running, but the carb is leaking badly, so think float or seat need work. The manifold is not cut, as they often were to install a different carb. I do have an original Breeze carb available, as a separate transaction to someone who buys the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sligermachine Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 is it a mag ignition ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yes. Bosch DU4 magneto. The two wires you see on the firewall are the only wires on the car. It's to ground the magneto to shut the car off. It's also fixed timing, which works fine for this car. Splash lubrication in the engine, with drip oiling, which is the large tank you see on the far side of the engine. Four cylinder, jugs cast in pairs. Front fan is also the flywheel. It's a good car that needs some attention. Once the weather warms up I'll get it out of my storage warehouse and actively market it for sale.

This looks like a fun car to drive .I would like to build one like it some day, I fill like if you are not the one that did the restoration it is not so fun to go to meets with you know what I mean !!! My grandfather would be thrilled to know I still build them from the ground up and still driving the 1929 doge we restored together when I was 11 we started on it and by the age 13 we were driving it he gave it to me for my 13th birthday present every since I have sweat and blood in all my cars .
