24T42 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 You have been hearing a lot about the Ford Centennial plans for June 2003. Is Buick planning anything similar? And if so, where can I get some infromation? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Buick is indeed planning a big centennial celebration in Flint, Michigan during July, 2003. Go to the Buick Club's homepage at <A HREF="http://www.buickclub.org" TARGET=_blank>www.buickclub.org</A> and look in the center of the screen for information on the Buick Centennial. Some of those who are helping organize this event are regular contributors to this forum, so I'm sure they will have more to add. Caravan plans are in the works from several areas of the country, including Boston, Seattle, and Sacramento. Check some of the recent topics on this forum for items related to the Centennial.

24T42 Posted June 5, 2002 Author Share Posted June 5, 2002 Thank you both for your answers. I am the editor for the Brass-Nickel Touring Region AACA newsletter and have been trying to get together some info about the various centennial celebrations being held next year for the newsletter. <P>I have reading up on my Buick history and I have a dumb question. If Buick was incorporated on May 19,1903 and ground was broken for the first Buick engine plant on September 11, 1903, why is the celebration being planned for July - splitting the difference? <P>I guess I need to do more research into Buick particularly since my husband and I own a 1912 Buick Model 35, which is awaiting restoration. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Guy Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 When you plan a meet the scope of this one, you try to accomodate as many people as possible. Most of our Buick meets have been in July and the membership has come to expect the National meet to be in the same time frame ,so they plan on it. There are also many members that have school age children, and this will allow them the oppurtunity to join us for what will undoubtedly be the biggest Buick bash ever. <P>Joe Taubitz<BR> BCA1308<BR> BDE001<p>[ 06-05-2002: Message edited by: The Old Guy ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
