Vintageben Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 So I don’t own a Buick but these Hubs followed me home today after a friend told me he was going to use them as a boat anchor maybe they are not worth saving but some one may get some parts. There is only 2 fronts and no other parts. So what model Buick are the from they seem pretty big I was thinking late twenties but there is no brake drums so that doesn’t make sense unless they have been removed already any way any thoughts appreciated.

Taylormade Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It appears to be a Buffalo wire wheel hub with the hubcap in place. Note the holes in the hub for the spokes. I assume that’s what’s left of the spare tire bracket on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hard to find parts.Leif in Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Yes ,the drums have been removed. roughly 1924-1928. 1929 was first to use bolt on wheels so 1928 at the newest. Leif is correct, hard to find and a very desirable option. There is a Buick guy out there that will be very happy to buy these.

Vintageben Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Cool thanks for all the replies I told Him that they were worth saving but he still looked at me a little doubtfully and so did my wife but she said oh well you’re usually right on these things and let me bring them home ? what’s sort of dollar value do they have, mind you I usually prefer to swap this sort of thing for parts I need as I realise often parts are not really worth big money and I love seeing more cars make it back on the road or at least stay on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I may have 1 rear if you find someone who want your fronts. Feel free to get in touch. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
