1953mack Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Another...[ATTACH=CONFIG]180031[/ATTACH]Notice, no bumpers, anyone know why?You might want to do a GOOGLE SEARCH for an old FARMER'S ALMANAC and maybe see why 1939 wasn't a good "bumper crop" year in the Great Lakes & Northeastern Regions......or......whether they were considered a factory approved Buick dealer option for 1940.

Bleach Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I did some research on the Y-Job and it looks like there was a full scale model built and that was possibly the lighter colored car in that photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shadetree77 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 My Buick friends, are you ready to take a trip back in time with me? I just spent all night(yes Lamar, AT WORK, lol:D)downloading no less than 306 photos of Buicks ranging in years from 1906 to 1979. Some will go here, some will go in the Girls On Buicks thread, and some will go in the Not Always a Good Day thread. I'm not going to post all of them at once. That's just too many. I'll post them in blocks of 40 or so. You can fit 20 photos on each post so that's two posts a day. They are sorted by year so that's how I'll post them. Also, I ask that you please bear with me on the dating of the cars. Especially the earlier pre-war cars. I'm not now nor have I ever claimed to be a Buick expert so some of the cars may be dated wrong. I just named them by what they were called on the place where I got them and from my limited Buick knowledge of Buicks other than 1952. Heck, some of the close-up shots may not even be Buicks. The site said they were so I downloaded. If you see any that are NOT Buicks let me know and I'll remove them. A lot of them are kind of small but that's the way they came to me so if you see one you want to zoom on you might have to download it to your computer. These photos really show what an automobile meant to people back then. Vehicles then were part of the family and held a special place in the hearts of their owners. I'm too young to have experienced that mindset but I try to keep that idea alive through my love of cars and by finding and enjoying these pictures. Please enjoy this trip throughout Buick history. I did. P.S. I got a bunch of photos dated 1912 Buick but they appear to be cars from a company in London by the name of Bedford. That rings a bell. The phrase "Bedford Bodied Buicks" pops up in my head. Are these cars coach built Buicks or am I completely off my rocker? I'll hold off posting those until I get a response on that.
