Buick of the 1924-28 era. |

1924-27: Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" Note the header panel is straighter due to the core no longer curling as rakishly, presumably due to Packard long warning Buick of the similarity to their radiator shells. "When prettier automobiles are built, Packard will build them" they countered in light of the alleged copying. There was also an extremely subtle restyling for 1926 where they smoothened the radiator, but that is out of my element. They only way I can tell these cars apart is if they have Fisher bodies, which got double belt moldings for 26. This appears to be a 27 as that was the year all open Buicks got single pane windscreens. The dash was also reorganized this year, putting the speedometer directly before the driver, but I don't know if this is that. -- Last edit: 2023-05-16 18:30:04 |

Alright lad, never noticed the mouldings, so I'll keep that in mind. I know about the different radiator designs but hard to make out on this example. |

I can't see the dashboard all too well (at first I couldn't match it at all with a Buick of the era) but that's definitely the ignition switch on the right next to the "crying" cluster, which would indeed make this a 27 along with the aforementioned single-piece windscreen. 24-26 dash: Link to "www.secondchancegarage.com" 27 with ignition switch (the cool alien face) moved to the right: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/20IAAOSwwPhg8wAN/s-l1600.jpg Model 128 Five Passenger Sport Touring [115-55] -- Last edit: 2024-01-04 22:03:45 |

^Tiebar is also mounted beneath the headlights instead of between them like 24-25, further reinforcing my identification. |
