1928 Buick with history

this 1928 Buick was very interesting as it started out as a 4 door sedan, but a local farmer had converted it into a pickup. The thing that was unique about this car was that the farmer had scribed every load of grain etc. he must have hauled in it all over the body with a nail through the paint. It was unbelievable the dates and loads that were in the right time frame all over this old Buick.

Happy 425 day!

the number on the air filter top indicates the torque of the motor, not the hp or cu in

The 425 cu in was the largest-displacement version of the Nailhead. It began as an option in 1963 for the Riviera and was later available on the Wildcat and Electra models. The 1964 and 1966 Riviera used the 425 engine as standard equipment.

Four-barrel carburetion was standard on all 425 Nailheads, called "Wildcat 465". For the 1965 Riviera Gran Sport and the 1966 Wildcat GS, the "Super Wildcat" regular production option Y48 included two four-barrel carburetors and the intake manifold, which were delivered in the car's trunk, to be installed by the dealer.

 Toward the end of the 1966 model year, in approximately May 1966, Buick offered the Super Wildcat 465 with dual 4BBL Carter AFB carburetors as a factory-installed option. This engine is coded "MZ", while the dealer-installed dual four-barrel setup was coded "MW". Only 179 1966 Riviera GS cars were built with the MZ factory dual 4BBL setup, making it a very rare car.

1950 Buick Roadmaster Custom Wrecker.

Harper Honea and Clark Burr were a couple of friends who often worked together in the town of Susanville, California, so when Burr decided to go into business as a Buick dealer in 1948, he enlisted Honea’s help in building the dealership on Susanville’s Main Street.

It wasn’t a big Buick dealership — the two of them alone apparently did all the construction work on the building, and Honea was the dealership’s only full-time mechanic.

A couple of years later, Honea and Burr found themselves with a pair of wrecked Buick Roadmasters, both 1950s, both originally sold through the dealership, according to Darell Honea, Harper’s son. So over the course of the next few years, Honea pieced the cars back together, shortened the greenhouse, and added the bed, boom, generator and motor to turn the Roadmaster into a wrecker, all according to plans Burr had engineered.
