1969 AACA National 1st/239.1ci I6/Harley Earl Design/3-Speed Manual/Plush Seats
1928 Buick 116 Sport Coupe
For consignment, an older restored version of the 1928 Buick 116 Sport Coupe with a rumble seat still holding its own. This car has some exterior paint issues, but does have a plush cloth interior that begs to coddle your posterior and comes to our Hallowed Halls with a non verifiable 44,473 miles on the odometer. The car does run well, is a 1969 AACA National 1st winner and is a turnkey ride that you can enjoy while you bring it back up to snuff.
Exterior
Cream paint adorns most of the body panels and shows with some chip offs and areas where there is surface rust under this paint. Earlier bodywork near the doors is showing some bubbling. The roof is finished in a nicely contrasting black, also the fenders and running boards are a contrasting black and are looking good. Chrome trimmings include the radiator surround, headlight bezels, a triple horizontal bar front bumper and split rear bumper, driving light bezels on the cowl and door handles are on for dress up. This chrome is in good condition as is the glass, and the window frames are painted in cream and black which gives an interesting look to the exterior. Running boards are the true sense of the word as they are wood with nice aluminum step plates and are connecting the curvaceous front and rear fenders. On the back, a single round tail light and a spare tire between the bumpers is noted. Also seen are the step ups to the rumble seat, a perfect place for your mother in law or for when the kiddos won't stop talking about their favorite YouTube star. 20-inch wood spoked wheels are nicely restored. Definitely the look of the roaring 20's in its Harley Earl Design, which is very refined and curvaceous, all accentuated with the two tone cream and black.
Interior
Most interesting, and in very good condition considering the age of the restoration, and if I were king I'd try to locate the same material. Plush broadcloth in wide tuck and roll form on the seats and colored black is virtually everywhere from the door panels to the beautifully designed nouveau styled front bench, and even on the side panels and headliner. The black painted dash is fairly straightforward with simple instruments peppering the center and a few extra knobs and pulls. A large wood rimmed steering wheel is fronting the dash and with various throttle and spark advance levers as well as 4 black metal central ribs. The floors are covered in nice black carpeting and a peek in the rumble seat area reveals slightly textured black vinyl for the seating area with integral armrests, a very interesting use of materials for the interior.
Drivetrain
Under the cowled hood is an inline 6 cylinder in 239.1ci form. It has a 1-barrel carburetor and a selective sliding gear 3 speed manual transmission. 4.90 is the rear axle on this model.
Undercarriage
Plenty of patina and some light surface rust albeit rare. All the rest is black painted steel for the frame and gray wood underside of the floorboards. The engine and rear pumpkin are showing some oiling going on, but at almost 100 years old so would you. Mechanical drum brakes are on all 4 corners and the front leaf springs and the back a cantilever suspension design provides the ride. A stock exhaust is on and a bit rusted but no holes. To keep things running smoothly, our consignor states that the fuel tank was recently cleaned and sealed.
Drive-Ability
As with the appearance of this car so goes the drive-ability, which to sum up is smashingly wonderful. It has smooth acceleration, all functions are performing as they should save for the brake lights not lighting and the windshield wiper not wiping. The car handles nicely, and stops well for a mechanical drum brakes car. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
A nice model with a beautiful design and snappy interior coverings. An inline 6 cylinder engine which was the Buick standard for many years. In need of some TLC on the paint front, but in the end you will have a stunner from the flapper era.
