The Appeal
The 1929 Buick Master Six Roadster exemplifies the pinnacle of pre-Depression era American motoring luxury and engineering. As a special 25th Anniversary Edition, this Model 44 Roadster showcases Buick's commitment to quality and innovation during its silver jubilee year.
This particular example stands out for its originality, long-term family ownership, and the comprehensive restoration completed in the early 1980s that has been meticulously maintained ever since.
This Buick offers the opportunity to acquire a pre-1930 sports car that combines period charm with usability. With just 27,000 original kilometres, monthly exercise regimens to maintain mechanical health, and consistent garage storage, this roadster appears in smart condition for its age.
Paint from the 1980s restoration remains in presentable order, considering its age
Soft top in good condition and said to be operating well
Lighting system reportedly fully functional
Interior preserved since the 1980s restoration, continuing to present well
Seats appear in smart condition and remain comfortable
Two additional rear seats are also in well-preserved condition
Original steering wheel and gauges all work correctly, the vendor tells us
Original odometer and speedometer reportedly remain accurate
This Buick's styling is pure Gatsby-era Americana, although this model features somewhat more rugged looks than some of its ornate competitors, with a little more retraint when it comes to chrome. This makes the Master Six handsome without being ostentatious.
As the photographs show, this example continues to present very well, with an older restoration that still holds up nicely.
5.1-litre (5,073cc) OHV straight-six engine producing just over 90hp
Three-speed manual transmission
Capable of a top speed of 110 km/h in period
Original engine in well-preserved condition
All mechanical components remain original with only two exceptions, the vendor tells us
Upgraded carburettor for improved performance
Upgraded clutch for enhanced reliability
The vendor states the engine was in very good condition at the time of purchase and continues to run well, benefiting from regular exercise
These were powerful cars in their day, designed to cruise vast distances riding a wave of straight-six torque. This car remains very original, besides an upgraded clutch and upgraded carburettor - both sensible enhancements that make this Buick drivable in the modern age.
