Description
This Buick Model 44 roadster reportedly was purchased by the second owner in 1931, and it remained in that person’s possession in Connecticut until the car was bequeathed to a family member in 1976. The current owner acquired the car in 2001. Finished in yellow with black fenders and running boards, the car is powered by a 310ci straight-six mated to a three-speed manual transmission.

This Buick Model 44 roadster reportedly was purchased by the second owner in 1931, and it remained in that person’s possession in Connecticut until the car was bequeathed to a family member in 1976. The current owner acquired the car in 2001. Finished in yellow with black fenders and running boards, the car is powered by a 310ci straight-six mated to a three-speed manual transmission. Service under current ownership reportedly has included installing a six-volt battery, rebuilding the carburetor and the fuel pump, and cleaning the gas tank. This silver-anniversary Series 121 Buick is now offered in Connecticut by the seller on behalf of the current owner with an unused convertible top and a bill of sale.
The Model 44 roadster body sits upon a 121″ wheelbase, and this car was repainted in yellow with black fenders and running boards in the early 1960s, per the seller. Additional features include dual side-mount spare-tire carriers with locks, a rumble seat, a fold-down windshield, and green side trim. The chrome bumpers reportedly were replated in the 1970s. The seller notes areas of pitting and corrosion on the windshield frame and the headlight assemblies. An uninstalled replacement soft top and a factory beveled glass rear window are included in the sale, although the seller states that the rear window frame needs to be recast. A total of 6,195 Model 44 examples were produced during the 1929 model year.
Wooden-spoke 20″ wheels are fitted with 6.5″-wide General tires.
The front bench seat and rumble seat retain deteriorated upholstery and padding. The door-panel fabric exhibits tearing on both sides. Side-cowl vents on the kick panels allow airflow into the cabin.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a centered instrument panel with a 90-mph speedometer, a hydrostatic fuel gauge, and an ammeter, oil-pressure gauge, and water-temperature gauge. The five-digit odometer displays 90k miles, approximately 10k of which have been added by the current owner over the past 20 years. The seller notes that the clutch take-up point is high and requires adjustment.
Buick’s valve-in-head inline-six received an increased displacement of 309.6 cubic inches for the 1929 model year, and it was rated to produce 90.5 horsepower when new. The carburetor and fuel pump reportedly have been rebuilt under current ownership, a six-volt battery was installed, and the fuel tank was cleaned.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission.
