Guy's I do not know how to insert an image here, so can you go to my journal and look at the latest car and let me know if you know what series this car is i.e. 40-50-60. Thanks in advance

looks similar to this one which is listed as a 50 series http://www.antiquecar.com/index/listings/page6125.htm
body looks pretty much the same but the front fenders and headlights are abit different though

I think it may be a 1933. I will have do some more research to be sure. I think all the 34's and 35's had a built in trunk at the back.

Here's another link with a few photos.

I think they could be had with or without the trunk depending on the model.
I'd do some searches for vintage Buick sites although it looks like you have already done a bit of that. Some of the restorer sites have pretty good info on the different models of a year model of a particular brand.
Try a variety of searches = antique Buick, Vintage Buick, Buick club, Buick collector and what ever else you can think of.
That looks like a pretty decent old body but you are in for a bunch of wood work or wood replacement.
Here's another one. http://www.hubcapcafe.com/ocs/pages01/buic3301.htm#tell
If you can measure the wheel base that will be a start on finding the series of the car. They usually had a couple of different wheelbases for Buicks.
One more and you may get some info from this one http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z9458/Buick_Series 50/default.aspx

What ever the year it appears to be a series 47. The bread and butter sedan of the line. Which also means that body parts may be easier to find.

That should make a nice comfortable long range cruiser that you can burn up the miles in total comfort in.

If that is the original engine in your car and it is a 35 this may help:

On my 36 Buick there is a plate on the firewall, passengers side. Post the big long number off of it and I'll dig up what info I can.

 

[home brew]

It looks like you can find the model by the wheelbase. If you can find some engine casting numbers you can probably track down the year if it is the original engine. Some more info:

Thanks for the help guys. It looks like it is a 35-47. I was able to figure it out with the wheelbase and hood side grills. It turns out the 40 series had three strips on the side and the 50 and up, had four. Not sure on the year yet, but another site lists it as a 35.

If the engine is original and the car is a 1935 then this link will allow you to check the engine serial number against the chart.

Thanks Home Brew. I think that will definitely help.

By the looks of the wood in around the back window, I would say that it is a '35. 34's had more wood and more seams in the roof line. Good project, keep in touch.
