Rawja Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 I am posting this for a newbie to our board. The car below is from 1926 and is soon to be shipped overseas.... We are looking for what particular model it is.Once we have that information confirmed, we need an owners manual and probably a shop manual as well. Multiple comments and suggestions are welcomed.

BUICK RACER Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Probably only one owners manual for all of '26, contact Dan at Factory Automanuals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 If it has a 114.5 inch wheelbase and gray, rough wool interior (original), it is a Standard Six, Model 26-47. If it has a 120 inch wheelbase amd plush interior, then it's a Master Six, Model 26-47. However, juding by the size of the window aft of the "C" pillar, I suspect that it's either a Seven Passenger Master Six Sedan (Model 26-50), or a Master Six Limousine Sedan (Model 26-50X) if it has a glass partition. These cars have a 128 inch wheelbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 they made more of the Master six than the Standard & yours has rt hand drive and an accessory bumper .Also the special paint might be more usual on the master. That hood orn. shows up on very few 27,s.measure the wheelbase to know which it is. Norb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 A very fine 26 there. I invite you to visit www.PreWarBuick.com to see numerous old Buicks, and there also to find many good links for parts & literature. --Paul DeLucchi, pdelucchi@prewarbuick.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Rawling Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 I would say that it is a 1926 model 47x (120 inch wheel base) or a model 50x ( 128 inch wheel base. It is a Master series because the crank goes through the radiator shell. There should be a plate on the firewalll that has the model number stamped into it. That plate lists the tire pressure for all models. The radiator cap is 27 or 28. I can not see it clearly enough to tell. 1926 had a round cap with flutes on the edge, the same as the standard models for 25 through 27. The crank hole cover and reprints of the owners and shop manuel are available from bobsautomobilia.com. If he does not have the 26 shop manuel, get the 27 one as it is almost the same.If you want an origional owners manuel, I have a nice one for $55.00 and one not quite as nice for $45.00.

Guest buick.nut Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Buick is either a model 47 or 27 depending on the wheelbase. They are 120" & 114 3/8" respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
