Quote:

3)Larry Gustin's book on Billy Durant. Has good info on the early days of Buick and its part in the formation of GM.

This book (Billy Durant, Creator of General Motors) has just been put back into print by The University of Michigan Press. At $20 for a 304 page paperback, it's quite a bargain.

It also was just reviewed in this month's Hemmings' Classic Car magazine. The book received one of the most glowing reviews by them that I've read.

A “MUST READ” for all Buick enthusiasts and readers with a special interest in GM’s early Australian history.
With the Foreword by former Holden Public Affairs Manager, Marcus McInnes

Buick, the affordable car to aspire to. Favoured by Australians from the man in the street and the motor enthusiast through to Prime Ministers and ultimately the Govenor General. This is Buicks local history with qualified reference and as Buick was General Motors main product and cash cow in Australia until the mid 1920’s, Buick’s Australian history is virtually inseparable from GM’s early Australian history. The story provides an in depth insite to GM’s entry and establishment in Australia prior to WW II.

Written in chronological format covering Buicks presence and impact in Australia from the very early 1900’s through to the present day. The text in lay terms covers Buick models, how Buicks were sold, who sold them and who bought them. There are many stories of epic Buick travel, particularly in the vintage and veteran years together with Buick’s unique Australian designed and built body styles and purpose built work and professional cars. This 457 page story is illustrated with 750 B&W photographs (many early period pictures), plus 450 other images including early advertising and sales literature.

Hear.....Hear.......I think there ought to be a section of the AACA web site that allows the user to peruse literature on this site. I know this was posted some time ago; however, I just noticed it! (ie. like you're working on your '27 Marmon and need to see a exploded view of the clutch assembly...if this is in an owners manual of the era it would be great to be able to reference it)
