DrDarby Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Hi, I recently joined. I own Midwest Autosavers in Cary, IL which is about 50 miles NW of Chicago. We are a full service restoration shop with over 40 years exp. Anyway, we tend to collect antiques around here (myself included) and while cleaning the shop today I found an awesome book someone with a '51 Buick might want. Its an NOS spiral bound book about 5"x7" titled "Facts for selling 1951 BUICK". This is an awesome Salesman's fact book published by Buick Motor Division of about 135 pages that details everything about the car and all of its models from how the oiling system works, different trims, dynaflow operation on and on with pictures and hundreds of drawings and fold outs. . The back cover has a pull out flip chart with all the colors and their names on large sheets. I could probably make a few bucks on an auction site but I got it in a bundle of parts that have long since paid for themselves. I will offer it here to the 1st 1951 Buick owner that contacts me. Just cover the postage and its yours. All I ask is that you "pay it forward" some day when someone needs something. I'll spell out my email address so as to combat spammers. oldbugs(AT)comcast(DOT)net I didnt want to put this in the for sale section but will do so if required. Hope whoever responds enjoys it ! 3 1
Thriller Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Welcome. Thanks for the generous offer. I hope someone who really appreciates the book will get it. You can't be all that far from Volo and the museum I'd imagine.
DrDarby Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 Correct. Im about 20 minutes from Volo. 1
RiKi5156B Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I’ll take it. Just got a 1951 special. Let me know.
RiKi5156B Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 What happened to the books you were going to give me? Rich
RiKi5156B Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 We sent the postage a while ago. Any word on the literature?
JZRIV Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Yes by all means a phone call is always better. Despite what we like to think not everyone is attached to their social media outlets and that includes emails. Here you go http://midwestautosavers.com/
