Pete Phillips Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I have a 1923 model 35 Buick here in my shop. Belongs to a customer. Engine number on this one is on lower left side of engine block: 1074009 Your engine number should be in the same location.

You may have an AU manufactured body on an imported chassis. That was the common practise at that time. But some were CKD (completely knocked down).

rodneybeauchamp Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Hi Darryl, Welcome to the AACA forum and the world of Buick ownership. There are strong Buick clubs in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and West Australia that are worth joining, with many members owning prewar Buicks. There is also an Australian prewar Buick e-magazine that you can get sent to you as well. Please consider posting some photos of your ‘23 and perhaps starting a blog under “Me and My Buick” cheers Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
