TheBuick Standard Six Series 20 was an automobile produced byBuick between 1925 and 1928. Powered by theoverhead valve (OHV)Buick straight-6 engine, it was the junior model to theBuick Master Six, and shared theGM A platform with Oldsmobile, Oakland and Chevrolet.[1][2] The Standard Six evolved from the earlierBuick Six when theBuick 4-cylinder was cancelled.

The Standard Six was the most popular Buick sold while being more upscale to theOldsmobile Six. It was the senior brand toMarquette under theGeneral Motors Companion Make Program until Marquette was cancelled one year later. It replaced the earlierBuick Six that was introduced in 1916, and was replaced with theBuick Series 50. Coachwork continued to be offered byFisher Body, which was the primary supplier of all GM products at this time, and itsDuco automotive lacquer paint, introduced byDuPont was the first quick drying multi-color line of nitrocellulose lacquers made especially for the automotive industry.[1] The Series 20 was manufactured at what would later become known as theBuick City factory on Hamilton Ave. inFlint, Michigan.
