1923 Buick Roadster 23-4-39

[DaveAspi]

I have recently (yesterday), purchased a 1923 Buick Roadster model 23-4-"39"(stamped on the plate on the firewall). I was fortunate enough to purchase this from the orignal family, which bought the car back in 1923. Beautiful condition for its age. Can anyone point me in the right direction for info on this model? I have found info on 23-4-"34" model, but not this model. It is not even listed in the original Buick Ref. book. From what the owners told me, this was a late year model produced Nov/Dec of 1923 with luxury items added on. This is all new to me. I usually restore Muscle-car era cars. So I have the spectrum of Buicks a 1923 and 1970 Buick GS 455. any info will be appreciated. Thanks

There are two 1923 4 cylinder and one 1923 Six cylinder in the Vancouver WA area. Dave Ebert has one just like yours. I am sure he will be glad to share info with you.

If this car was built in Nov, Dec 1923. it would be considered a 1924 model year. Try the prewar forum at this same sight. David Corbin may have some information on this car that will suprise you. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Dave!

IF it has brakes on only the rear wheels, it is a 1923; if it has 4-wheel brakes, it is a 1924.
