It is a little different than the MG Club, that. I belong to, which can often be the no go club 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Phillips Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 That looks like some sort of a sales incentive for dealership salesmen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that it is an incentive item that Buick would send out to the sales persons in the dealership. I know that Buick and the other divisions would send items out to the salesmen regularly, especially if Buick wanted to promote a particular option. They also got things from GMAC to promote lending and insurance, etc. I have a box of that stuff in the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1953mack Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 FWIW. It looks like a "36" to me (for 1936?) and not "GO" . . . the font fits the era too. Al Malachowski BCA #8965 "500 Miles West of Flint" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
