- Buick began production of cars in 1903 in Michigan, and then formed General Motors in 1908. by 1912 Buick was offering 6 different models comprising of two body styles (a roadster and a touring model) alongside three motor choices.
The Model 28 and 29 which were powered by a four-cylinder, 201 cubic-inch motor making 26 Horsepower. The Model 34,35, and 36 were offered with a 165 cubic-inch four-cylinder putting out23 horsepower. The first in class was the Model 43 fitted with a 318cubic-inch 4 cylinder that put out almost 50 horsepower.
All models had a 3 speed manual transmission and mechanical brakes on two wheels. In this video we will go over some of the quirks and fun features on this car, including how to start it and how to turn on the headlights which are powered by acetylene gas.

Your demonstration was tremendous, I didn't know about how to light acetylene lamps, the button on the floor, placement of pedals. Awesome narrative!!! Thanks!
Liked the video a lot more than I thought I would (I have no particular interest in veteran cars). But the knowledge and goofy enthusiasm of Colleeen really carried the video👍
It would have been nice to see some nighttime shots of the acetylene lights, to get an idea of how effective they are.
Glad you enjoyed. Ill see if i cant get a shot of the headlamps at night.
You're a sport! I can't afford anything that you guys own, I'm pretty sure... but I like the way you explain things and the respect that you have for all these beautiful automobiles. Stay well.
Thanks. We love being able to share the cars with everyone.
Ferraris Online beautiful car
Loved this vid. Gorgeous car. Nice to see a classics review. Especially an American model. Thanks.
25 years ago i worked at a antique restoration shop & we did a full restoration on this exact model. Same color but with blue fenders. That one had a whistle mounted on the end of the exhaust pipe. You pulled a knob, a cable then closed a flap & routed the exhaust through the whistle. So as the expression goes " it had the bells & whistles" Thanks for showing this car for all to enjoy
It looks like a carriage pulled by a horse. Your explanation of the crank start was in perfect detail.
Very cute piece of car history, so much natural friendly materials like leather, wood, organic gum, and so on, had been used back then.
And recycled dinosaurs.
That thing looks SOOO awesome. I think the gas lamps and "oil gauge" are really cool. It's amazing how far technology has come in such a short amount of time. Compare this to a formula 1 race car. What an awesome piece of history. Thanks for sharing!
I love the car good video. Very well done description, thank you Colleen.
Thanks for watching! Hlad you enjoyed it.
Cool old car! My mom learned to drive in a 56 Roadmaster and still drives only Buicks.
Cool ride. Your enthusiasm is wonderful to listen . Thank you for another fun video.
1912 Buick. More reliable than anything else in that garage. :)
I really liked this video, I liked your period outfit too, I think that made the tone just perfect for your presentation.....Can't wait for the next one!!
I really enjoyed a brass era car being reviewed by a sane individual who also appreciates the vehicle. Other reviewers don't do justice to these cars as they spend so much time telling you how weird they are and how hard they are to drive. The one channel has a reviewer that compares these more favourably than a Prius. I get that people don't like a car like the Prius but comparing a car this old to any modern vehicle is ludicrous! It is nice to see a young person have enthusiasm for a vintage vehicle that is not an exotic like the Ferraris you also cover.
Very neat car. Although a bit more pricey than the T, it seems like you got a lot more car for the money with the Buick.
Cool video ... Great job I just love those old cars from that time . 😊
Wow beautiful piece of history
Early cars had the wheel on the right. Henry Ford put it on the left in his Model T. Since there were SO many Ts on the road, they set the standard for cars that followed in later years.
The model 34 was smaller and had an oval tank. This is a model 36. I rode in an identical car from New York to San Fran(1968), Montreal, to Tijuana (1972), and Seattle to Philly (1976).
Remember to fold your thumbs in when you crank start it. You must remind people of this so if it kicks it doesn't break their thumbs.
The reason alot cars had two set of lights for driving was simply because a lot people still used Horse and buggy. Alot of town/city States had laws about in city/ village limits you couldn't use your bright lights simply cause it spoke horses out courtesy for people who still used horse and buggy. So they put oil lantern on side since they were less brighter for when they came into town/city limits that prohibited bright lights so they could still be seen. Just like you basically do nowadays with your low and high beams when driving you usually in cities/town run low beams. As years went. Buy and more and more people started to use the horseless carriage /Automobile they did away with these laws. For the record for those of whom may not know Henry Ford was the Inventor of the assembly line not cars. He Created a solution that help reduce time it took to manufactured a automobile and cut cost and massively producing automobiles thus reducing the price of automobiles and making them more affordable for common person to own a fine Automobile.
I currently have a Mercedes 240 diesel 1983 it's my daily classic car as a second hand car I have.
Lovely car!
Jay Leno said not to grip the crank handle with the thumb around it , because it will dislocate your thumb
Never knew how they had headlights work before electricity was typical in the first vehicles. That was a cool innovation back in the day. And that bell horn 🤣.
I bet that oil pressure gauge never failed. Cars abandoned from the 50s to 80s hardly ever function unless you get in and figure out the issue. Lastly that crank starter is definitely dangerous, glad electric starters exist even though the batteries will go out and you gotta replace it.
I liked your story but could you help me with any info on a 1907 american underslung roadster
also Cadillac came into play 1903 and Oldsmobile too
Thank you for telling me about your TH-cam channel
Really cool! Would love to see the BMW.
It is currently at the bmw museum, it being the oldest BMW in the united states. Once it gets back we will do a video on it.
Do you have video of your BMW?
Usually old car has 2 horn one for city and one louder to use in country
Anyone know what mag the model 34 originally had?
What will they think of next? Electric headlamps? Electric horns? Air conditioning? Tubeless tires? Tail Wings? Cars that go over the 50 MPH barrier?
are you sure those little brass cups are not to.pour gas into the cinlynders for cold starting.
They are grease cups. They keep the rockers lubed. There is a choke on the front of the car for cold starting.
@@FerrarisOnline i tjink they ste.primer cips. Reslly.
Never brake with your left foot!!!!!!!
