BuicksBuicks Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) There were many more Buicks than existing photos. I've hopefully given them the correct years in the titles but please correct me if I'm wrong (except the 36 &,37s) A comment on the 1924 Buick in snow- he lived on a very steep one-way street, heading downward and with a curve in the middle. To get to his house there was another one-way street upward and extremely steep. I just can't imagine how he was able to drive up or down with those narrow tires, even with chains, and two-wheel brakes. As for the 1934 sedan, that car is beautiful. Years shown here are Buicks 1937, 36, 22, 24, 31, 34, 39, 47, and Cadillacs 1929, and 1941. If I were to add in my fathers, uncles, and my Buicks, we'd pretty much covered nearly all Buicks from 1924 to 1964.

neil morse Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 What a great collection! Thanks for sharing it with us. The '34 and the '36 look particularly good -- I really like look of the blackwall tires, very few people would set those cars up like that now if they had them. And the photo of your mother with the '29 Caddy (which you posted before) is a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuicksBuicks Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thanks to all for the positive marks. On the '39's I've seen them with and without the bullet lights on the top of the front fenders. Were these an option? I had them on my '39 81F lino. And, on the posted '36's, there are "fender finder sticks", whatever they are called, for learning drivers like my 17 year old uncle. I can only guess that my uncle was allowed to drive the '36 sedan but not the classy new '37 coupe at least until he was an experienced driver. That coupe would have been very out of place with my grandfather but I would have loved it. I can only assume that these Buicks were Roadmasters or other high end models. Any comments? I'd love to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know. Yes. Fender side lights on 1939's were an option. The 1939 is an 80 series (Roadmaster) or 90 series (Limited) as it has a 2 piece rear window. Body shell a carry over from 1938. Series 40 & 60 had a new for '39 body shell with a 1 piece rear window. Unsure is side mounts were standard on series 90 or an option Edited December 25, 2019 by 1939_Buick (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Image from a AUG69-dated Kodachrome slide in my personal collection. In Vermont in 1969 with a New York license plate. That could be the car I drove to Fulton, New York that a trucker told me about. I drove to Fulton in 1967 to look at the car. It was a military officers car from either Mexico or New Mexico brought home upon his retirement. It was expensive at the time $1500 sticks in my mind, but it may have been $800, either one a lot. I had just bought a '60 Invicta for $600 in the spring of '66, a few weeks before High School graduation. Bernie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
