David Marshall Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hello all, I've been so lucky to have been able to purchase a 1922 Buick Tourer in New Zealand. It has been restored in the eighties and has be laid up in storage for the last 25 years. A wonderful Buick man helped the previous owners get it ready and drove it on the truck before heading to me. ( about a 10 hour drive and 3 hour boat trip.). I bought it sight unseen and am absolutely ecstatic with it. There is a bit of recommissioning work to do before she will be road legal but hopefully she will be ready in a month or so. I have to get a convertible top made for it and a bit of touch up to the paintwork. I look forward to being part of this group. I'll post some photos when I work out how. Regards David Marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Marshall Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi, thank you for your reply. I understand there is one 22 Buick in a town called Wanganui that's about a 50 minute drive from my home. I have the owners details so I'm definitely going to make contact. i believe there are very few 22-4-35 models in NZ so 2 may be correct. Ive joined the Buick register in NZ and Graham is a very helpful chap indeed. I'll join the Australian register today ! thanks again David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Welcome aboard. Likely to be other 1922's being restored/sheds and so not on the government rego data base and/or on other club lists, like NZ Vintage Car Club. Looking at the NZ Buick 2004 list were 3 off 1922. (Napier, Christchurch & Central Otago) But some may be duplicate entries Edited June 2, 2020 by 1939_Buick (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
