1906 Buick Model F Phaeton - Touring

This 1906 Buick Model F 5-Passenger Phaeton was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars sale at Hershey, PA presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $20,000 - $30,000 and offered without reserve. Bidding surpassed the estimates with the final bid settling at $31,900 including buyer's premium.

The car is powered by a horizontally-opposed twin-cylinder engine that displaces 159 cubic-inches and produces 22 horsepower. There is a two-speed planetary transmission and two-wheel mechanical brakes. The 87-inch wheelbase is suspended in place by a solid front axle and a live rear axle. Three-quarter elliptic leaf springs can be found in the front and semi-elliptic springs in the rear.

Many years ago, this Model F Buick was treated to a cosmetic restoration. It is finished in maroon and there are a generous amount of dings and scratches throughout. The leather on the seats have cracked due to age and some mildew has formed. The top is a replacement Naugahyde fitted on original painted bows. The chassis is painted cream and there are no floorboards. The complete set of brass lighting is still intact, including the Neverout headlamps and tail lamp, and Gray & Davis side lamps.
