Are you going to post an answer to your question about how many Buicks appeared in the photo of the parking garage a while back? Have no idea! Just put it out there to see if someone took the time and really looked at this. Some one said 8 & 11 so i know at least is entertaining. Also want to say that some of these pictures come from the web particularly from FB Buick groups. There are few groups out there. Surprising to see that many Buicks all over the World especially from Down Under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I google the name of the movie and it was a Swedish film that came out in 1953.

The figure on the sign is Dagwood Bumstead. We used to drive up from Ormond and eat here sometimes when I spent summers there. It was still there in the early 1970s.

cxgvd Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 The second title on the movie marque is for a British film, Genevieve. Set during the 1953 London to Brighton run, it is a must see for early car enthusiasts. Hilarious lines such as "Ambrose only cares about that silly old car and the other thing." Wendy asks " What is the other thing? Oh....Alan only cares about the car" Car racing, romantic comedy and the olde English countryside spells a hit for petrol heads. I know a fellow who named his kids for the main characters of Genevieve, Alan and Wendy. Regards, Gary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
