Centurion Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Last Sunday, I organized an event for owners of 1959 General Motors passenger cars in my area. We called it:"Imagination in Motion" -- the GM Five for '59At the tour conclusion, some of us traveled to the 1948-vintage Mueller-Harkins Buick building, which is sadly falling into a state of disrepair. Remembering this 1948 image of the building's ramps to service areas and roof-top parking, I thought it would be fun to shoot some of our own photos.So, with a group of four 1959 Buicks and Karen Bernard's willingness to back up the steep ramp with her beautiful, all-original LeSabre, we created the following fun photos.

Guest TheDude Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Not to outdo Bob, but I worked on this for the past two nights (not all night, just an hour each night). I thought you might want to see those cars transported back to the original dealership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthbob Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Nice job TheDude!My first thought was to do what you did but my PS skills are not that good.Very well done!Man all I can think about is the way the 54's parking pal would slip out of place...I'm guessing by 1959 they fixed that problem.

Centurion Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 stealthbod and The Dude, these look great! Thanks so much for investing the time to add a cool historic appearance to the image.You are right, Bob, those ramps are steep, so it was a little risky to trust the parking brakes and park position to hold these cars in place.
