'22 frame with '23 engine?

[Dwight Romberger]

Hi  All,

I think I have a 4 cyl '22-35? frame 838342 (oval tag rear frame)and a '23 engine 1072936 (steel plate riveted to block)

Am I correct?

Thanks,

Dwight

Dwight:

 I have found that 1923 4 cylinder serial #s running after #826497. 1923 4 cylinder engine #s 890666.

1924 4 cylinder engine #s start at #1090357. So it appears that engine #1072936 should also be for a late 1923.

1922 4 cylinder  serial #s start at #688795. 1922 4 cylinder engine #s start at #767948.

 So... you have a 1923. Probably titled as a 1922 as was common for the time depending when sold. If that was the case, 

to me the car was sold originally in late 1922. The much higher engine # indicates that the engine may have been changed out at a later date.

Thanks Larry and James.

Something that adds weight to the engine swap idea is that it has the sprocket on the left front wheel for the speedometer ('22), but the speedometer is hooked up to the transmission ('23).

Thanks Again.

Dwight,

 

RatFink255 is Brice. I added the link from what I found when digging for info on my Buick 1922 Model 35 Touring Car. I think I have a more detailed listing of serial numbers at home will try and remember to look tonight and post it.

Dwight,

No problem. Here is the other sheet that I found when doing some digging for serial number stuff on my 22 Model 35. It kind of mimics what was in James posting but thought I would pass it on anyway.
