"1929 Buick Series 116 29-27 Sedan
1929 models were affectionately known as the 'Silver Anniversary' cars, celebrating 25 years of Buick automotive production. This was the year that Buick vehicles wore all-new styling by Harley Earl and his Art and Colour department. Earl's talent had originally been applied to the new Lasalle line in 1927, positioned between Cadillac and Buick. The 1929 Buick model lineup included the 116, 121, and 129, (representing wheelbase measurements). All three came equipped with six-cylinder engines, the Series 116 had a 239.1 cubic-inch displacement.
For consignment, a barn find version of the 116 inch wheelbase Buick 116 29-27 4 door sedan. This car has some exterior paint and surface rust issues, some rotting of the interior drivers side floors and the interior, although unique in its wide ribbed corduroy, will need a restoration. The car does not run, so overall it will require some TLC.

Exterior
Yellow 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 rockers is showing some bubbling. The roof is rotted canvas and otherwise is steel construction and painted black. Also the fenders and running boards are a contrasting black. Chromed trimmings include the radiator surround, headlight bezels, a triple horizontal bar front bumper and split rear bumper and mirrors and door handles are on for dress up. This chrome is in good condition save for the door handles which are pitted and have beginnings of rusting. The glass is in good condition, and the window frames are painted in yellow which gives an interesting look to the exterior. Running boards are the true sense of the word as they are wood. These are faded and have some water damage but are not rotted. On the back, a single round tail light and a spare tire between the bumpers is noted. 20-inch wood spoked wheels are on and in need of restoration. 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 yellow and black.
Interior
Most interesting, although in need of restoration, but if I were king I'd try to locate the same material. Corduroy in wide ribbed form and colored tan is virtually everywhere from the door panels to the beautifully designed nouveau styled front bench and rear ""couch"", 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 metal central ribs. The floors are in need of repair particularly on the driver's door sill area. It is rotted wood and the rest is damaged rubber over the wood. In the back is some red carpeting and who knows what lies beneath it?! A very interesting use of materials for the interior.
Drivetrain
Under the cowled hood is an inline 6 cylinder in 239.1ci. 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 wood underside of the floorboards. The engine and rear pumpkin are showing some oiling going on. Mechanical drum brakes are on all 4 corners and for the front leaf springs and for the back quarter elliptical leaf springs. A stock exhaust is on and a bit rusted but no holes.
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, but in the end you will have a stunner from the flapper era.
