This 1924 Mclaughlin Buick 24-35 5 passenger Touring car is for sale in Saratoga California. She is a clean survivor from the jazz age and not a common sight in the lower 48. It is said to have been purchased from the Reynolds Museum in Alberta and then imported to Pacific Northwest sometime in the last 20 years. It found its way to California through an ebay sale when the owner became ill and sold the car before he finished it. The story that came with the car is he drove it onto a trailer in Alberta and once he got home proceeded to disassemble the car completely. Subsequently many of the small parts, and some large were removed and put in boxes. The additional parts photos on the add show what we have for the vehicle,. As with most projects that get passed off not all the parts always stay with the vehicle and this is true with this car too. The car appears around 90% complete and thankfully includes most of the hard to find small interior/exterior trim etc. and the nickel bright-work is in great condition. The original upholstery is included, seat springs with the makers tags, door panels, floorboards. The honeycomb radiator appears almost perfect. The missing items seem to be the steering wheel and controls, clutch rod, Carburetor, radiator emblem, 1 small side cover for the gear box and most likely some other small stuff seem to have been left behind in the previous owners garage and will need to be sourced by the purchaser. (see note 4) The sheet metal is remarkably straight with no rot, just surface rust and some of the requisite dings,dents and cracks you would expect for its age. Additional detail shots of any sheet metal can be taken and e-mailed if requested. Some of the original paint survives but the previous owner started to sand off the original finish as you can see in the photos. The wood for the body is solid and strong except for a small section on the LH lower at the driver’s door. The body wood was carefully reassembled into the body 2 years ago and is secure to the sheetmetal. The wood wheels are solid and seem perfectly serviceable, one wheel has been sanded and is almost ready for paint. The front doors, fenders, hood and radiator have been placed on the vehicle for the photos but are not secured to the vehicle for anything other than photo staging, these items are will need to be removed for transportation. The engine turns over fine, the pushrod for the intake on #4 is bent. We dropped the pan to look at the bottom end and the engine is very clean with very little sludge and no noticeable issues with the bearings. It looks like with a little attention it is likely the engine would run. The evidence certainly points that this car was parked inside for many years until it was taken down for a restoration. If someone is looking for a survivor Nickel age touring car that could be put back on the road without the hugh outlay of cash and time nickel age cars unually take this may certainly a candidate worth considering. We are confident the buyer will not be disappointed. Notes: 1.
