My Father was the district watermaster for this side of the state during the '60s. I'd love to hear his thoughts on this.

Re: Yet another puzzle

That's very possible Rich. Buick did offer the Model 45, 118" W.B. and the Model 49, 124" W. B. Both touring cars. I would think the distance between doors would be a noticeable difference. It seems 1922 was much the same but 1923 the fenders were crowned and they had drum headlights. Perhaps more l...

Re: Need help identifying this early non-Ford engine

It's not like the Whites I have seen but who knows. Studebaker did that but had the valves on the other side. Packards were similar but I can't find a good photo of one that matches.
I'll bet Charley Shaver could have told us. :(

Re: Yet another puzzle

I like Hupmobiles too Perry. Here is where I see the similarities to the Buick. The bead in the fender and no lip, the curve of the radiator shell and the hubcap. It even has the same bumper. I don't see a drum headlight or slanted louvers. I'm always open to other suggestions. BuickHupp.jpg Thanks ...

Vladimar Philbin tried to market stone hinges under the trade name "Rock and Roll". They were a hard sell and received few quarries about them. The one's KD played with were finely ground.

Although some of the distinguishing features are hidden I think it may be a 1921 or so Buick like this one.

Wonderful info and photos Frank. I can't add much. This is a cover as it was removed when replaced with a New York Switch. It lived untouched in the NY Sw. box for years. We don't see enough of the parts just as they were when they were new.
