I need info guys. I have know almost nothing about this era but the story I have on this vehicle is that it's 1 of 46 made specialty for the farmers... it was so well recieved that they formally went into production in 1926. I have the title and everything. Alot of the wood is gone but the steel is good. Frame is good. The drive train is all there. Thoughts?
What are your plans? Even restored I don't think it would be a real high dollar vehicle but it would be cool and fun to own. Bob H.
Nice find, weather it's worth a lot of money or not its a piece of history for sure. Looks like a decent survivor for its age........hell modern 20 y/o cars look ready to fall apart on the first bump.
That's pretty cool You got A title that's worth alot,it's hard to find old cars ,trucks with A title.
Buick was known for the quality of their trucks. I believe they started producing them in the teens. By '25-'26 are at the end of Buick production.
With the crazy way things are going at auctions, I think it would sell for a lot. Think of the attractions: 1. Barn find 2. Unmolested 3. Limited production 1 of XX 4. Very unique and rarely seen Do not clean it or make any changes, leave the hay and tree stuff on it. http://forums.aaca.org/topic/13329-did-buick-ever-make-a-pick-up-truck/ Lou
There is a fella in BCA that has one of these trucks. As earlier recommended go to the Buick Club of America web site and post there. You can get to them through www.AACA.org then click on Forums, then scroll down to BCA/Buicks
Thanks for the responses guys... as soon as I drag it home, I will post more pics. Truth be told, this was o n a whim to buy. I knew they made trucks in the early years but given the condition, I couldn' pass it up. I think this is when they first went to the v6 but I have yet to find any info much less a picture of a 25 buick truck. It comes with a few extra parts too... like I said, it does have a title and its unbranded and titled as a 25 so there's that. It'l be a couple weeks before it comes to it's new home though. Standby for pics till then
A great find. If you decide to restore it, you will need to find out all that you can about it first. If you have the time and space, it would be a fun project. You will learn all kinds of woodworking skills, as well as mechanical and sheetmetal work. I'm not a fan of ratty barn finds being left "unmolested." Call it what you want, a non-running rusty old car is just that - a pile of junk with possible potential. I would either do something with it or sell it.
