So Im looking at picking up a 1929 Buick coupe, I believe it is the 4 not 5 passenger so there is a back seat. Overall I would say the wood was 90-95% only problem being atound the trunk and I believe a little in one door but the last time I saw the car was June and I wasn't looking at it as though it might be mine but a friend offered it as a trade and im saying yes.
Anyways Im thinking about keeping it and running it as a possible as a tow car for the speedster for shows and such.
New ride, possible show tow vehicle?

I think they called that style a Victoria Coupe. A "Business Coupe" typically had no back seat at all
and an "Opera Coupe" might have jump seats. Later models, Ford in particular, often referred to something very like the Victoria Coupe as a "Deluxe Coupe".

The name of the coupe is in question until its in my possession so I left it open but you get the drift.

Re: New ride, possible show tow vehicle?
My dads ‘27 model 24 roadster was reaaally anemic even after freshening up the engine… it struggled to maintain 40mph on level ground. It now runs waaaaay stronger with the Winfield carb and turbocharger!
