Mark Wetherbee Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I will assume by Jon’s answer that it’s one of a hundred aftermarket carburetors for a Model T Ford... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Didn’t Buick make carburetors after selling his car company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 David Dunbar Buick didn't have a whole lot of good luck. The only O.E. application I show for the carburetor he built with his son Tom is late 'teens Briscoe. I thought my original answer might stimulate some Google searches, but I couldn't find much using Google; so posted the rest of the story. GUESSING that maybe he sold the carburetor business to Scoe. I have no proof of this, but the design of the Scoe, which replaced the Buick on Briscoe, is very similar in design to the Buick carb. Jon.

TerryB Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 So the pictured carb is good as a shelf display item and story of Buick’s demise only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Terry - I honestly don't know, as I have never tried to use one. The venture was not successful, however that says nothing about the quality of the product. However, it does make an interesting display. They are very rare, I have never owned one. But how many 1917~1919 Briscoe owners do you know ? Jon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now you know the origin of the cliche "fits to a T" Jon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
