1927 Buick Master Six news, pictures, and information

Brougham Sedan
Chassis Num: 1761189
 
Sold for $56,100 at 2009 RM Auctions.
The 1928 Buick Master Six Series 120 had an overhead valve six-cylinder engine that displaced 274 cubic-inches and produced 77 horsepower. There was a three-speed sliding gear transmission with floor shift controls and multiple disc clutch. Four-wheel mechanical drum brakes helped kept the car in the driver's control.

The Master Six was offered in ten bodystyles that ranged from Sedans, DeLuxe Sedan, Coupe, Tourer, Brougham Sedan, Sport Roadster, Country Club Coupe, and Sport Tourer.

The current owner purchased the car from two brothers, who had found the car in Stockton, California and performed a restoration on it over a 31 year period. It is believed that the restoration cost nearly $300,000. The car has since been shown at various events throughout the United States and has won First in Class and Best of Show on numerous occasions. It has earned its Senior status with the Buick Club of America and the Antique Automobile Club of America in 1993.

The car is painted in green and has a mohair interior with walnut trim and wood dash gauge faces. There are bumpers, artillery wheels, etched wind-wings, a radio receiver, rear heater, bud vases and a leather rear-mounted trunk.

In 2009, this Master Six Brougham Sedan was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $45,000 - $65,000. The lot was sold for a high bid of $56,100, including buyer's premium.

Buick used the Master Six name beginning in the mid-1920s. The 1925 Buick used the same engine used in the 24-Six of 1924. Several new body styles became available during this year. The Standard Six engine produced 50 horsepower while the Master Six was fitted with a 70 horsepower engine. The Standard Six bodystyles rested on a wheelbase that measured 114.3-inches while the Master Six had a 120- or 128-inch platform.

The name Master Six would continue through 1928. By 1928, the horsepower in the Standard Six was rated at 63 horsepower while the Master Six had 77 horsepower.
