Topper1961 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Hi all, and a Happy New Buick Year! I start the year with the following question, when or did Buick stop sending out their traditional Buick Magazine. I have collected complete years from 1956 - 1958. Just curious if they continued in the 60s as well? Hoping for a great new Buick Year and new members on the forum!

NTX5467 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I might be incorrect, or not totally correct, but in order to receive those (or similar from any other vehicle brand), a dealer had to add the name to a mailing list (which the dealer funded) to Buick to receive the magazine. Which is why these or similar publications can be so difficult to find. The "subscription" usually went for a year or two, then mysteriously ended. This was all funded by a particular dealer, not the corporation OR customer. Many went to businesses as an advertising venture for the dealer, I suspect. Doctors' offices, beauty shops, and other places they would be seen by many people, plus new car owners/customers of the dealer. Just some observations, NTX5467 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Buick Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I figured they went to recent Buick buyers. Seems a bunch went out in 1954, as I have been able to collect all 12 for my '54 collection. A mix of Buick promotion, travel and tourism articles. Fun stuff.

dibarlaw Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Which also askes the question when did the BUICK Bulletin begin and end? I have seen examples back into the teens and some members have issues thru the 1920s. I am still looking for examples that may show some of the special cars advertized for 1925. Standard Sport models. The Buick Magazine taking over at what point? I found on Ebay one of these Buick Restorer Magazines. Vol 1 No. 2. No referrence to a publisher. Just ads, articles from various period publications. So there had to be a Vol.1 No.1. Anyone out there have any more of these? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
