Car Geek Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I wrote a little article on the Sales Convention from Sept. 29 - Oct. 5, 1936. Here is where they unveiled the 1937 line to attending dealers and salesmen. It seems they had their fair share of "Rah-Rah" speeches but those are pretty interesting on their own. They even had quite a closing dinner, complete with turtle soup! What strikes me about this convention is that it apparently ran from a Monday to the next Monday. I think that would be odd today. Here is the link: The Car Geek Journal – ’37 Buick: It’s Buick Again If you don't go to my site, enjoy the attached scan of the banquet program cover. This program & the speech transcripts were all found in the Buick Heritage Alliance collection housed in the AACA Library, Hershey, PA. Have a great Thanksgiving!!-Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Chris, A very well written article (except the negative part about other brands). You keep in mind that most Buick owners also own one or two of those brands too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Geek Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I didn't mean anything negative about other brands, Mark. When I wrote that part about the "fancy ice cream" my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek! It was more of a dig at the menu author. I mean really, what is the difference between regular & fancy ice cream?! :-). Thanks for reading!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budensor Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I read the article and I like all of it but the part about the other brands. I to own other brands too.I would like to see more and Specialty about the year before "1936" that's the year I own. Thanks for time to put this togather. This is good "STUFF " THANKS Bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
