Morgan Wright Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 21 inch rims were 1926 to 1928 but most people used 6 inch balloon tires, looks like 4.5 were cheapos. Buick Pre 1930 General Specs (carnut.com) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert_25-25 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 21" is 1926 to 1928 Buick. Master rims are 1/2" wider than Standard rims. If I were a betting man, they are likely Standard rims and someone has installed Model A tires on them because they would be plentiful and cheap. They could be Master rims as well though. Measure the width of the demountable rim. The 4" Standard Rim is actually 3 7/8" and the 4 1/2" Master rim is 4 3/8". Hugh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottA. Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I know this is an old post, but do you happen to have those wheels still ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Desert model 45 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 ScottA these wheels are for Standard models and will not interchange with Master 1928-47. contact Vin Cassidy 978-758-0834 vincent@cassidybros.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottA. Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I understand the differences, but I can use a standard spoke and wheel temporarily to move a master right? I don’t need it to be correct I just need it to roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the wheel bearing is different also? Because I know the rim is 1/2” different along with the spokes, but I would just use the entire assembly temporarily, but seems that idea is a bust too.

Oregon Desert model 45 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Comparing Master and Standard front wheel bearing races illustrates the difference in spindle diameters. Master inner/outer diameters: .93/1.43 Standard inner/outer diameters: .812/1.275 You could remove a complete spoke and make a duplicate from hardwood to use for moving the car. If the long term goal is to drive the car, then take it to a wheelwright and get it respoked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rears on Standard is a regular axle with a hub splined to the axle and a roller bearing. Master is a full floating with a ball bearing in the wheel hub and no load on the axle. The hub is larger and the spokes shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert_25-25 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Vin is at Hershey. He sent me these photos of the rear section of a 1925 Buick model 45 rear tub that he has for sale. $400 Nice details on how it was originally upholstered. Not sure what the top assembly behind it came from. Also noticing that curvature of the body line along the armrest is almost a straight line, which would indicate maybe not 1925.

Leif Holmberg Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Here is a 1925-25 rear body,looks as stright as Vin:s rear body? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert_25-25 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I think it is the angle of the shot. Larry has verified that it is a 1925 -45. It still has the original Cobalt Blue. The carpet remnants on the floor would indicate a model 45, as the Standard Touring does not have those high sections in the floor. Of note also is the use of vinyl on the rear seat arm rests. Leather on the seat back and bottom. Leif pointed that out to me, and it is interesting to see that they did the covering on both models 25 and 45 in this manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Hugh: Vin took these photos after I polished the section around the top pivot bolt. That looked to be the place where the paint was in the best cond. The cobalt Blue showed up quite well as did the original striping. I checked the black top on the ground and the front bow was not like the way our tops are made with the upholstered visor and the clamps were different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
