the engine

The engine in this car is an in line six cylinder. It has a separate head with valves in it. It has a up draft carburator. The shift pattern is a 3 speed reverse h.
The brakes are 4 wheel mechanical. It has a crank but I have never used it except to set the timing. It has an electric starter which is also the generator. The water pump and distributor are driven by a power take of from the engine.
Origianlly it had a vaccum powered fuel pump. But that was replaced by a 6 volt electic fuel pump.
The water jacket has been repaired with epooxy which seems to last about 7-10 years.
The cooling system is non presurrized and temperature is read by a thermometer on the hood.
I also have several boxes of extra parts including wheels, pistons light bulbs gaskets switches pulgs and a comlplete rear end.

Interior of a 1925 buick

The interior of this car is a triple weave broadcloth. It has never been altered. I have a bolt of similiar material but have chosen to keep things original. The head liner in completly in tact.
The seats show sign s of wear. There is a bud vase in the car along with a blanket rail attached to the back seat.
There is a heater in the rear but heat is provided by exhaust and i have chosen not opperate it.
There is a cut off near the drivers seat which has never beeen activated.
The origanal switches were broken when I purchase the car instead toggle switches activate the ignition and generator.
the starter is a peddle on the floor.
Turn signals and a brake switch have been added. The horn does not work now but did in the past.
The lights exterior and interior work.

wheels and integrity of body

This Car is a composite car . That means it is made of wood and steel. The wheels are wooden spokes which i have cleaned and revarnished. The top is tar covered canvas.
The car body is metal applied to a wooden frame.

The wood is in excellent shape. There is very little rust any where on this car. It has spent it life in a covered space.
note the Walnut steering wheel.

1925 buick standard

i am putting this blog together to inform people of my 1925 Buick standard.
I have chosen to sell this car along with my 1956 Buick Roadmaster in order to down size.
This blog is strictly informational
This car is a 4 door enclosed car. It has 13,000 original miles on it.
It was an Oregon car and was in the same family until 1960.
At that time the family sold the car with 7,000 miles on it.
It was driven in parades and shown around.
Eventually this owner tired of the car and it was stored in a pole barn. This is where the interior recieved damage along with the paint on the fenders. I have painted the fenders ,and recromed the light and radiator shell. All other areas of paint are original.
It is dark green on the body with black upper body and fenders.
