Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas showroom is pleased to present this
1929 Buick Master Six Sedan. 1929 marked Buick's Silver Anniversary
(25 years) in business. While Ford's vehicles were primarily
powered by 4-cylinder engines, the Silver Anniversary Buicks
utilized 6-cylinder powerplants and typically offered larger
interiors. Taken from 1929 Buick sales literature: "...Bodies that
are masterpieces by Fisher. Color harmonies that keep their rich,
lustrous charm for tens of thousands of miles -- smartness,
distinction, luxury. But these are not all. In mechanical
construction, too, Buick leads the world. Lightning-flash get-away
and acceleration; power for the steepest hill; dependability; and a
sturdiness that makes the last mile on the speedometer as wonderful
as the first. These are the qualities that, combined with unrivaled
beauty, make the Silver Anniversary Buick the greatest value that
the world has ever seen." OK, so no one today would accuse a 1929
Buick as being quick off the line; but, back in 1929, these Buicks
could shake a leg! Interestingly enough, while spare tires and
bumpers were denoted as "special equipment" back then, overall,
these Buicks were well-equipped for the time. More from the 1929
Buick sales brochure: "New instrument panel; new steering wheel and
controls; new tail lamp, mounted at side; front compartments
completely trimmed, rubber mats for floor; hydraulic shock
absorbers, front and rear; centralized chassis lubrication;
adjustable steering wheel' vibrator horn; hydrostatic gasoline
gauge, water temperature gauge on instrument panel; lock mounted on
steering post; combination tail lamp, stop lamp, and back-up lamp;
four-wheel brakes; four low pressure tires; controllable beam
headlights, with control switch on top of steering wheel; air
cleaner; oil filter; gasoline strainer; crankcase ventilator; new
type tire carrier for one tire only, with extra demountable rim;
double screw type jack; high pressure grease gun; tool kit; pump;
rear vision mirror; dual lighting of instrument panel and front
compartment." Definitely a change in sales literature style from
back then to now - you're probably not used to seeing "oil filter"
or "gasoline strainer" mentioned as value-added items in today's
sales lit! This 1929 Buick Master Six sedan looks like a twin to
one of the models shown in Buick's '29 sales folder, done in a nice
two-tone paint scheme, with its black top over a deep teal (think
"dark bluish green", or maybe "greenish blue"). It rides on
original style wood spoke wheels, and tube-type tires. Inside, the
brown cloth interior is in good shape, and makes for a nice, soft
ride. This 1929 Buick Master Six is ready for its next owner and is
a great foundation for restoration to its original glory. If
restoration isn't in your plans, but you just want a fun, basic
driver from the 1920's era, this is just the ticket. For more
