1929
Buick
Model
29-55
Touring
Buick
garnered
a
reputation
of
being
a
doctor's
choice
in
lieu
of
purchasing
a
Cadillac.
Reason
being,
physicians
of
the
day
were
very
contentious
of
their
patients
and
what
their
impression
of
them
was,
and
of
course
their
car
was
a
giveaway.
If
a
patient
would
pull
up
or
the
doc
would
arrive
at
a
patient's
house,
in
a
Cadillac,
they
may
have
left
with
the
impression
that
the
doc
is
overpaid.
But
a
Buick
of
the
day
was
certainly
as
luxurious
and
way
more
affordable
than
a
Cadillac,
so
the
impression
was
left
to
the
patient!
For
consignment,
a
1929
Buick
Model
29-55
Touring
sedan
in
beautiful
condition.
Recent
maintenance
and
some
rebuilds
have
this
car
in
tip
top
shape
and
ready
to
turn
the
key
and
drive
away
for
some
fun.
Exterior
Wonderful
maroon
paint
bathes
the
body
of
this
big
car,
and
there
is
plenty
of
steel
too
cover.
From
the
cowled
hood
to
the
4
doors
and
beyond,
maroon
is
beautifully
applied
and
looks
as
new.
Contrasting
black
fenders
curve
around
large
wide
white
wall
tires
that
wrap
straw
colored
wire
spoked
20-inch
wheels.
Even
the
2
spare
tires
on
either
side
tucked
into
the
front
fenders
are
beautifully
restored
and
await
their
being
pressed
into
service
if
need
be.
Leading
the
way
is
a
beautifully
chromed
radiator
surround
flanked
on
either
side
by
a
large
round
headlight.
Triple
bars
for
the
bumper
below
that
undulates
to
the
contour
of
the
front
of
the
vehicle.
Pinstriped
fenders
show
in
black
as
does
the
open
suspension
in
front,
all
rust
free
and
beautifully
preserved.
Moving
back
on
the
laser
straight
cowled
hood
some
running
lights
are
attached
to
the
firewall
cowl,
and
a
chromed
shiny
windshield
surround
is
noted,
that
can
be
lowered
when
the
top
is
in
the
down
position.
4
doors
for
easy
entry
into
the
luxurious
passenger
compartment
over
the
running
boards
we
go.
A
tan
canvas
convertible
top
is
held
on
by
a
chromed
metal
and
oak
wood
frame
which
has
been
beautifully
restored.
On
the
back
between
the
rear
fenders
in
black
is
a
trunk
which
sits
perched
atop
a
luggage
rack
on
the
back
of
the
car.
Triple
chromed
bar
split
bumpers
protect
the
fenders
in
back
and
add
a
nice
highlight
to
the
back
of
this
beautiful
car.
Every
detail
on
this
car
has
been
attended
to
and
we
have
a
beautiful
restoration
for
1929
which
presents
as
new.
Interior
Saddle
brown
stitched
leather
for
this
interior
which
is
on
the
door
panels
in
the
form
of
a
locking
pouch,
which
has
the
door
actuator
above.
Stitched
leather
straps
are
providing
the
hinges.
Inside
dual
overstuffed
tuck
and
roll
benches
covered
in
faultless
saddle
brown
leather
provide
the
passenger
seating.
The
rear
bench
has
armrests
and
provides
plenty
of
space
for
the
rear
passengers.
A
rich
warm
wood
rimmed
steering
wheel
fronts
a
black
metal
painted
dash
that
is
peppered
with
round
chrome
bezel
black
faced
gauges.
These
are
within
a
chromed
framed
panel.
The
dash
top
is
bathed
in
maroon
like
the
exterior.
Brown
carpeting
covers
the
floors
and
leather
also
trims
the
toe
kick
panels
under
the
dash.
A
long
shift
lever
rises
up
from
the
floor
to
reach
for
the
driver's
hand.
Drivetrain
Under
the
cowled
hood
is
a
perfectly
restored
309ci
inline
6-cylinder
engine.
It
is
painted
a
beautiful
lima
bean
green
and
has
silver
attachments
throughout.
A
1-barrel
carburetor
is
feeding
the
engine,
and
a
3-speed
manual
transmission
is
on
back.
All
presented
in
showroom
condition
under
this
hood.
Undercarriage
As
expected
with
a
restoration
of
this
quality,
no
road
dirt
or
rust
is
seen
underneath.
Sturdy
black
painted
framing,
body
hangers
and
some
wood
flooring
are
noted
in
all
pristine
condition.
Leaf
spring
suspension
is
on
all
4
corners,
and
mechanical
drum
brakes
are
seen
all
around
as
well.
Drive-Ability
As
with
the
appearance
of
this
car
so
goes
the
drive-ability,
which
to
sum
up
is
perfection.
It
has
smooth
acceleration,
all
functions
are
performing
as
they
should,
and
the
car
handles
nicely,
and
stops
well
for
a
mechanical
drum
brakes
car.
Overall
very
nicely
preserved
and
the
presentation
is
excellent.
Any
self-respecting
country
doctor
would
drive
this
car
in
lieu
of
a
Caddy
any
day
of
the
week
and
look
\"fair
priced\"
while
doing
so.
A
plus
plus
for
this
1929
Buick.
