lelshaddai Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I am in process of picking up two cars. I do not have an engine or chassis number yet. I have these pictures so far. Our best guest is that it is a 1926 Buick Standard Six. Can someone confirm or tell me otherwise.The other car will be on the Chevy site since we think it is a 28-29 Chevy.

lelshaddai Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Looking at some dash pictures and this may by a 1925. Model 20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Atkinson Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I believe the Buick is a 1927 Standard Model 20 two door coach. 1925 had a single body belt line, double came out in 1926. 1926 visors wrapped around the windshield posts. 1927 visors were entirely in front of the posts as this one is. Finally, if there is no data plate on the firewall, look for a year stamped into the lower spare tire carrier mounting brackets. The headlights have been replaced and are not correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelshaddai Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 .At first we went with a 1927. But when I look at dash pictures it has the diamond shaped cluster of the four gauges. Which looks more like the 25. When I see the Dash for the 27 the gauges are straight across. I do not doubt that the headlights have been changed on these. Hopefully when we go to pick them up I’ll be able to get better information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelshaddai Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Bob, your analysis seems correct and it appears to be a 27. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Desert model 45 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Two more ways to distinguish between 26 and 27: 27 was first year for rubber cushioning between the rear motor mounts and the frame; 26 was metal against metal. 26 dash has a slot in the dash for the dash light to shine down on the instruments. 27 instruments are back lit so there is no slot in the dash.

Morgan Wright Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Why is the left running board smashed in? This car is from a wreck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelshaddai Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 It is not severe but it is bent up. It is the area under the door. For the price of the it is worth repairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelshaddai Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Is the car worth $200 even with the damage under the drivers door? I will have to get a bonded title but it is an old friend's fathers cars and a bonded title is easy in AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Wright Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 It's worth way more than that just for the parts. I see a crank handle cover, those things go for $200, there is your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
