If the Buick Heritage Alliance was wise they would take full advantage of this dispersal and make an offer for the whole lot as I do not see many of your items on their site.
Yep. I've contacted them, but no interest.

Hi Buick fans & owners,
I am the owner of the webiste www.hometownbuick.com and also have a 1954 Buick Special Riviera. I'm currently considering two things: Buying another 1950s Buick and/or increasing my work for my second website www.classyco.com
Therefore I have to sell the main part of my 1950s Buick collection. It took over 15 years to get all items together. Some items are ultra rare and you might have to wait years to find them. I’ve started to make photos of all items. Here is the link:
There are over 6,000 images, so I recommend to make the thumbnails smaller with the button at the top right. I have over 1,000 items more which I haven’t photographed yet. If you see anything you’re interested in, please send me an email to info(at)hometownbuick.com and make me an offer (with a screenshot of the item).
I’ll put all items in the shop section of my website in a few weeks: https://www.hometownbuick.com/shop/
Best regards,
Jan

I wonder how many of the 836 cars have survived. On one hand I read on many “for sale” websites stuff like “less than 40 exist” and so on. That challenged me. On the other hand, I’m considering buying a Sklyark and am wondering which colors & interiors are rare for a Skylark.
So I've started a list of Skylarks who have survived and created statistics:
https://www.hometownbuick.com/1954-buick-skylark-how-many-of-them-still-exist/
Does anybody know of other 1954 Buick Skylarks that are not on the list yet? 🙂

The 1960 Chevrolet Showroom Album is one of the best sources for info and pictures for owners and fans of 60s Chevys. It was made especially for showroom use to show potential buyers the beauty, engineering features, interior trims and much more of the new model line. Many dealerships and salesmen dumped these books after the model year - that makes these books rare to find - and expensive!
The 1960s Chevy Showroom Album covers all series and body styles! Almost every model is presented with a big and colorful illustration. Each series has an own section to explain everything special. There are lots of graphics showing the all original factory correct interior beauty. That makes restorations much easier. Included models are:

This helps you to restore your 60 Chevrolet back to factory specifications, see how it came from the factory or helps you to identify if the car is still in its original shape.
Get to know all Solid Colors and Two-Tone Combinations – including all colors and interiors that were available for the Corvette.
What you'll receive: A brand new, high quality reprint. Made with love and passion for 1960 Chevrolets, keeping the original data, but transferred to modern printing standards such as colors and formats. Size and colors are slightly different.

Chevrolet offered a variety of 17 “fresh-minted models for every taste” in 1959. It's remarkable how thoroughly some styling permeated the entire lineup - like the famous wings! Top the line series is the famous Impala, followed by Bel Air and Biscayne. The all American Sports Car - the Corvette - is of course among the roster. Chevy's flat, restrained grille sporting quad headlamps, squashed tailfins and cat's-eye taillights show up on everything from the Brookwood to the Nomad. The “longer, lower, wider” mantra may not have been coined to describe these models, but they certainly embody that design philosophy.
If you'd like to learn more about the cars, styling & features, the 1959 Chevrolet Showroom Album is the key source to buy. It was made to turn prospects into buyers.

The 1959 Chevrolet Autocessories Book is the guide to almost any optional equipment that Chevy offered for passenger cars and trucks in 59. It has three sections:
- Passenger Car Options (72 pages)
- Truck Options (47 pages)
- Maintenance Options (40 pages)
Each accessory is shown with a picture and is described with a short text. There are also part numbers, in case you want to upgrade your 59 Chevy with factory correct optional equipment.
This book was not given to new car buyers or prospects. It was provided exclusively to dealers and salesmen. Most of them dumped the original after the model year change. That makes this book ultra rare and expensive! But one was saved and I've created reprints so that you can enjoy the content for much less money!
