Released along with the China built Buick Enclave model was this 1913 Buick Model 15. This was the final year for RHD and it was pretty expensive at $1050 new. It features a 2.7 liter OHV inline 4 cylinder engine with a 3 speed manual that pumped out up to 25 HP. The engine had exposed push rods and valve rockers and the car had brass trim and artillery wood spoked wheels. It's kinda interesting that the car has a mounted spare tire but not mounted to a wheel. So tire changing would probably require a mechanic's assistance. This is a pretty well done model, but much different in build from the heavy full function Enclave as though it was done by another vendor.

I like this one but failed to capitalize on the "100 year set" when it was released - this one and the complimentary Enclave. These are the best pics of this '13 Buick I've ever seen. 👍 👍

It looks really good and is quite detailed. An interesting automobile from that era making for a fine replica.

@chris I have this model but not the Enclave. I too failed to capitalize on the 100 year set.

HA! Between the two of us, we have one set; I have only the Enclave.
