Lot #414 - This 1914 Buick B-25 open tourer is the last of the brass-era Buicks and one of the finest touring vehicles of the era. It was well-regarded due to its advanced-design overhead-valve engine and user-friendly 3-speed manual transmission with cone clutch. Approximately 40 years ago, this particular car was professionally restored with a high-quality finish and attention to detail, and has been carefully maintained since. The lacquer paint shines nicely, and the car has very straight panels and good panel fitment. There is no evidence of bodywork or rust repairs under the fenders or inside the doors, they are as straight as the top side. The doors open and close really well. Finished in correct blue body with black fenders, it features beautiful pinstriping throughout. The interior is in good shape with a nice patina. Carburetor was just serviced and the fuel tank is like new inside, no rust or debris. Firing right up with its electric start, it drives very well and the Boyce Motometer works great. The brakes, parking brake, all the lights and the klaxon “oogah” horns all work. A very cool accessory, the Neville slide-up steering wheel offers ease getting in and out of the car. It has the correct linoleum running and floor boards. All of the brightwork has patina consistent with the rest of the car. This is an honest old Buick that was restored to a high standard years ago.
