There were earlier ones, 54 and 55 for sure but indeed this is a nice one. I am interested, please list price and contact info please.
Absolutely NOT--- there were NOT earlier ones like this 1956 type box. This type of box was used form 1956 through 1960. The boxes like these were the very first of this type. Prior to 1956, there were light boxes that simply held a single transparency of one model of Buick. They were made to hang on the wall. There were no upholstery samples or color samples. Each car always was the same car shown in the postcards of the year. There was also a special REALLY BIG transparency with it's very own light box for the 1953 Skylark.

Again? What is it with these idiots and that car?
Let's make sure you have a clear understanding of this scam. By the time it was shut down, 3 (dumb) people had bid and the price was at $12,475. It was a one day auction and if it had gone the distance and ended, there is a good chance the winner would have wired a down payment. The scammer probably was successful before and THAT is "what it is with these idiots and that car"

I just saw this same car on Ebay again today 8/23/2019 --- Three people had bid and the price was at $12,445. I knew it was a scam immediately because of the 24 hour auction and the no reserve. But still, I checked by calling all the car dealers, repair shops and even the town marshal in Mancos, Colorado where it supposedly was located. I sent the listing person an email question saying I was from the town 20 miles to the West asking to come see the car. No reply, but the car listing totally disappeared with no trace 3 hours later.

that would have been me
I never made it to the Elberton dealer though.
Well--- I made it into Ralph Crisp's cloths closet (and basement) (and stuffed garage) and took home all his uniform shirts and coveralls. But his (and my) size was Large. His shirts were some of a very few things I kept after losing interest in Buicks. I decided I liked my 59 Sport Fury convt. and 62 Impala more. The Buicks were just too slow. I doubt if Mr. Bradley in Elberton is still alive, but he would never let me go in the attic even though his Mom said it was full. He allowed me into the garage and even their clothes closet---- but not the attic. I never left any dealer without asking about the clothes closet

Is that you @garynofishing THE eBay garynofishing who use to taunt me (54roadmasters) with all the cool old Buick stuff I couldn't afford but managed to raise the bids for you on.
Tell us about it please sir, especially want to hear about that cut away 322
now about those white '53 uniform shirts, got any in double X ?
good to hear from you old friend, hope you WILL share some stories with us.
Well--- I DO like to taunt, but I can't specifically remember taunting any guys with a 54 Roadmaster. The 54 guys were always too cheap to pay real money for parts anyway. Are you by chance the guy I told to go to Elberton? Bradley Buick? I wrote to you about your 49 yellow canvass banner.

I just learned today that Ralph Crisp, Mr. Dynaflow, of Omaha, Ne. passed away, yesterday, Friday, May 11th. I believe he had been in bad health lately. He will be sadly missed, as he was a whole warehouse of information, and, was always eager to help those in need. He was 86 years old, so, he lived a long and helpful life. I last saw him in Rochester, Mn, at the National show, and as always, was very talkative, had his wife and grandson waiting impatiently for him to go home. Again, he will be sadly missed, Paul Meyer, President, BCA
Do you know if Buick Andy Keller is still alive?

Thank you so much for stopping in and bringing this post back up and sharing it with us. Not one of us here will be here forever and we can all only hope that we ourselves might be remembered as fondly and appreciatively as your Dad is. I might add that in case you are not aware, the gentleman who started this thread , Paul Myer was also a great Buick person like your Dad but is also no longer with us and is missed dearly.
Please don't hesitate to stop in anytime to chat and maybe share some stories about Ralph or maybe the '23.
Best regards,
Lamar
I've got some REALLY juicy stories about the signs and parts that were once in Elberton Ga.

Good ol' Ralph. The dealers just loved him too because as a Buick Zone Rep. he actually took care of their needs especially when a Dealer couldn't get their allotment of Buick Specials. Back in the 1970's and 80's when I was out picking the Buick dealers in Nebraska and parts of Iowa, South Dakota and Missouri, I would tell the parts counter guy that Ralph Crisp sent me and they almost always opened the attic up for me and sold me any obsolete parts I wanted. I've still got some of Ralphs Buick white uniform shirts with the Buick patches from 1953
