1926 Buick Master Six Navigation
In 1925, Buick abandoned their four-cylinder engine in favor of a larger six-cylinder unit. For 1926, styling updates were performed on the Master Six model lineup by adorning them with aluminum gas caps and hubcaps. The radiator shell was slightly redesigned resulting in a smoother appearance. The 1926 Master Six was well appointed with cigarette lighter, heater, clock, scuff plates, smoking cases, a vanity case, and shock absorbers.

Buick enjoyed a record sales year in 1926, selling 266,753 units, a record that would persist for 14 years.

This particular example is in original condition and has been in the same ownership for the past 50-plus years prior to being discovered in a garage where it sat unused. It has its original hood and ornament and currently has less than 95,000 miles, which are believed to be original.
