For the 1923 model year, Buick styling was substantially improved with crowned fenders, cowl lights and new drum-shaped headlights. The 1923 Buick also received a fresh appearance with its new grille design; this feature would remain virtually unchanged through 1927. Technical improvements included repositioned rear spring hangers, a lower suspension system and a transmission lock. An increase in engine life was achieved through a harder cylinder casting, a larger crankshaft and stronger connecting rods, pistons and main bearings.

This beautifully finished car has undergone a total nut & bolt restoration that was initiated with a well preserved car. This refurbishing has recently been completed at a cost of over $50,000. One of only 1,971 Model 23-39 Sport Roadsters that were built in 1923, whereas over 45,000 1923 Buick Touring Series 23-45’s were produced, making it quite unique. Its features include 170 cubic inch, four cylinder engine that develops 35 horsepower on a 109 inch wheel base that weighs in at 2445 pounds. It features a correct leather interior with a Stayfast canvas top. Optional Tuare steel disc wheels and front bumper are fitted to this exceptional model. All mechanicals have been restored and the car runs and drives very well. This outstanding early American car is eligible for AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) or BCA (Buick Club of America) events and would be well suited for the discriminating collector or museum. Offered Without Reserve.
