The 1925 Buick Master Six is one of the American cars highlighted by the Gdynia museum. For 1925, Buick offered six-cylinder Standard and Master families, having discontinued its last four-cylinder models after 1924. The Master Six occupied a higher position in the range than the Standard Six.
The Master Six engine had six cylinders in a row and valves in the cylinder head, a layout known as OHV, or overhead valve. The 255-cubic-inch unit developed 70 bhp according to the American specification. It worked with a three-speed manual gearbox, and the model used mechanically operated drum brakes at all four wheels.
Buick developed overhead-valve construction as a distinctive feature of its engines. In this layout the valves operate above the cylinders, unlike a side-valve engine, where they are placed alongside them.

The 1925 Buick Master Six is a large American car in the Gdynia collection. That year Buick offered two six-cylinder families: Standard and the more expensive Master. The word “Six” refers to the engine’s six cylinders.
Those cylinders were arranged in a single row. Valves controlling the flow of gases sat in the cylinder head above them. This layout is called OHV, short for overhead valve. The Master Six engine produced 70 bhp according to the American specification. The driver selected one of three gears by hand. All four wheels had mechanically operated drum brakes. These features explain how the model worked and help compare it with smaller cars from the same period.
