keninman Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) This thing showed up on FB Marketplace. I cannot identify it and the guy is taking offers. He can't even say how much of it is there. It certainly looks interesting and might be worthwhile for someone. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2179354965505627/?ref=messenger_share Edited June 5, 2019 by keninman (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Engine is 1918 or earlier; given the exposed push rods and rocker arms. I'm not sure when they stopped casting the four-cylinder engine in pairs of two cylinders + two cylinders. Someone else will have to answer that.

Pete Phillips Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) The Facebook link shows an engine number. Or is that the frame number? Pete Phillips Edited June 6, 2019 by Pete Phillips (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keninman Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 I am not sure about the car. It can be seen on American Pickers S15 E8, Planes, Frames and Automobiles. They don't talk about the car though. I have a couple of screenshots of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 1915 was the last year for having an engine cast in pairs. It is not 1915. If memory serves me correctly Buick built only the 6 Cylinder around 16 and 17 and then started building a lighter 4 again around 1918 for several years. Those seats don't belong on it.

keninman Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 It made me think of something that had been repurposed. Maybe keeping the frame and engine and making a car to haul around visitors or dignitaries that would not obstruct their view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A farmer would have put in a division window to keep the sheep from licking the back of his neck. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
