| For 1920 Buick production numbered 115,176, the highed priced of which sold for $2,700. Sedans and coupes were becoming popular, yet the open cars were still king. 1921 marked Buick's change from letter to numeral denotation with the new series 21. In that same year, second cowls, located at the back of the front seat, disappeared on Buick tourings. Valve covers debuted on all engines for the first time in 1922. The Sport Roadster and The Sport Touring of this year are identified by their rectangular rear windows while all others bear oval rear windows. 201,572 Buicks left Flint in 1923, good enough for third place, behind Chevrolet and Ford. Six 4-cylinder and nine 6-cylinder models were available this year, many equipped with Buick's big accessories, the rear mounted spare and/or the accessory trunk. Headlamps had a miniature drumlike shape and a single tail lamp mounted on the spare tire, dead center. The four cylinder was discontinued in 1924, leaving Buick motivation to a 255 cubic inch six rated at 27 horses. The face of the radiator shell took on an interesting shape, looking much like the curvy Packard shells of the same time. Suicide front ends vanished as a four-wheel braking system became standard. Sheet metalwise, overall appearance was improved in the mid-to-late '20's. This pertains not only to Buick, but to all manufacturers as the "buggy carraige" look disappeared from the drafting boards. Buick hoodlines rose almost even with the highest point of the cowls, eliminating long and sweeping cowls. Tourings and roadsters had slanted windshields, the closed cars had vertical ones. The huge front semi-elliptics made for distinc- tive snub-nose type splash pans covering the frame horns. Buick offered "closed tourings" in 1925 which went on to last until the early '30's. These so-called "closed tourings" featured a fixed roof, something like a Carson or California top. The Buicks which they appeared on were given an open car look, with the exception being they were non-removable, and had roof pillars with sliding windows opening halfway. Split auto parts windshields were replaced by one-piece units with vacuum wipers. Frames remained long a narrow, yet ride improved with the now standard front shocks. Style-wise the only major change in Buick sheet metal came in 1926 with the new double belt lines and headlight bars. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
