I NEED SOME BUICKISMS!!!!!


RICK YOUNG

Recommended Posts

The merchandiser for the National would like some catch phrases to be optional on tshirts etc.

Like

"When better cars are built Buick will build them"

What was that one during WWII? Something like......

"When better Tanks are built Buick women will drive them"

How did that go????

"NAILHEAD"

"DYNAFLOW"

"DYNAFLASH"

"BUICK8"

"THE DYNAFLOWS ARE COMING"

Help me out here.......

Buick, the Beautiful Buy

I think it is Centurion who has it in his signature - Buicks don't leak, they sweat horsepower - I've always loved that.

For the Free Spirit in you - mid-70s

I'll look through some of my additional brochures after football practice tonight.

I have a 38 ad with

"Better Buy Buick"

I have a 59 ad with

"Whatever car you had in mind... You're better off in a Buick"

1958

"It's Big, Bold, Buoyant, the Air Born B-58 Buick"

One of the newest Buick slogans is "Drive Beautiful"

1903 "Known All Over The World"

Finally a cool t-shirt could just be the slogan "Body by Fisher"

From about the same time as Keith's "Great American Road . . . " item, in the general time frame as the last gen of RWD Roadmasters . . .

"Buick -- Premium American Motorcars"

(I always liked this one, but it was toooo short-lived to be implanted in the public's mind)

For something related, but not advertising copy as such . . .

"Trust your money to a banker that drives a Buick"

"Buick -- THE Vehicle for Young, Upwardly Mobile Professionals"

"Buick Smooothness, Reliability, and Durability -- Even when Doctors still made housecalls"

"See the USA in a Smooooth, Easy-Driving Buick!"

"1958 Buick King and Queen of CHROME!"

"BUICK -- Style and Luxury in a Beautiful Package"

"BUICK -- Uniquely AMERICAN Style and Luxury 100 Years and Counting"

As Ed Mertz said at the 1988 Flint National Meet Banquet . . . "You could always tell a Buick was a Buick, even blocks away, as it approached"

What about excerpts from the "Buick" song????

Something like "What joy there is when I drive my Buick, with my Baby at my side"?

Have FUN!

None of the ones I know are official Buick lines:

"Come on Dyna... flow!"

"If it's not leaking, it's out of fluid" - in reference to the Dynaflow

"It can pass anything on the highway except a gas station."

My favorite official line was "The Great American road belongs to Buick!"
