1927 Master Sport Touring in Tyler, Texas

[Pete Phillips]

Not mine, but I could go look at it if someone would pay for my gas--about 2 hrs. away. Looks like it's had a complete mechanical restoration and has much of its original paint, and has a "California top". This is the big one, top of the line in 1927.

I have seen this car and while am not knowledgeable regarding early Buicks I would agree that the pictures capture the car well and that the mechanical representations are likely correct.

Boy that's a tough one.  Beautiful car in potential.  1st thing I would do is junk that California top.  I hate those.  

 

$17,500 seems right, but the rest of the restoration you are probably looking at $50,000 , maybe a little less since there isn't much chrome.  I would want to know the mechanical work done was really good and backed by receipts.

That's a great color combination it's in, probably my favorite of that era

Ad seems down already.  Must have sold.

Inquired about the car back in 2016 when a previous ad was placed. A lot of questions could not be answered at the time. I saved all the ad photos at the time.

They also had been selling a 1925-55 which went to Wisconsin.

 The new owners of the 1925-55 had it at the 2017 BCA national.

“The big one” indeed. 

[dibarlaw]

I don't know what the upper light blue green color is that they had on that car.

Below is the catolog view. Colors were Courier Brown over Courier cream.

 The model 1927-25 Standard sport touring was to be Patrol Green (more of an Olive shade) over Patrol Cream.

But I have seen the Patrol combo on several 1927 model 54 roadsters.
