Guest imported_JPC Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 IN the past I had seen a post about downloading the Buick style font for your computer. Tried to search for it but did not find it. Anyone know where this was downloaded from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_paldo38 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 It's a great question, and I don't have an answer. But here's a treat; a printer's lead for Buick from 1929 or so (someone's bound to correct me on that!). See attachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_JPC Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Anyone ever come across this font for download?I found a font called Koloss which is real close but you have to pay for it at Font.com. I need to use it once so I can see paying for it if it was available some where else for free. I'd appreciate any leads to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shart Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Somewhere I have a CD from a Buick press kit that has a bunch of BUICK words, script and block letters on it. You can't separate the letters though. You'd have to take the script or lettering as a whole word, whatever is on the CD. I'll try and dig it up if that will do you any good. Attached is an example I got off the CD a long time ago. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The website at SMACKBOMB.com has some automotive fonts, but not Buick. There might be some links at the top of the webpage that might lead to where you desire to go.I also Googled and found www.signspecialists.com. In looking for "BUICK", it listed about 10 pages of various fonts and how they looked in "BUICK". I found a few that looked real close to the actual, but not an exact match. They've got lots of car decals and decals you can design yourself online. Might be an option?In the world of fonts, there are many font website and each designer tends to have his own website and "own" fonts for sale. I was totally surprised when I started looking for a specific font! Much less that people were still designing new ones!!In the world of automotive fonts, they can have subtle changes from decade to decade or new model to new model, yet appear to be reasonably "the same".Enjoy!NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I thought I recalled someone getting to the bottom of this and coming up with a Buick font or something very close. The style I am interested in is the original Buick font such as is in the logo can any one help me get close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TG57Roadmaster Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 MrEarl,On the left, 1914 (sorry to comment on the obvious). The right, 1926. That printer's block is Beeee-youtiful! Do two things for me, OK?One, you'll need to have your minions supply the circle, as Buick only used a rectangle. Two, post my bail when the Trademark Police drag me away in chains to the hoosegow.Much obliged,TGSeriously, as a registered trademark, the use of the Buick name and/or logos for commercial purposes without written permission is strictly <span style="font-style: italic">verboten</span>, by order of the High Command..."May I zee your paperz, pleaze?"

Guest imported_MrEarl Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 That's OK, I know Jack Bower, just turn over the font please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Okay MrEarl,I'm stumped...would Jack Bower be the newest High Honcho at Buick? 'Cause my "Memorize the GM Hierarchy Game" ended when the Brand-Management Wienies took over. You know, when our beloved Marques went from being Motor Divisions to <span style="font-style: italic">Brands</span>, like Pampers, Ho-Ho's and Summer's Eve Douchebags. Last I recall the Buick General Manager was named Fred Mertz, or Ned Gertz, or Jeezit Hertz...something like that.Clueless in Carolina,TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 You may know him as Jack Bauer, only his closest friends know the correct spelling. If not then tune in to Fox tonight at 8:00 EST. Until then here are some Basic Truths About <span style="font-weight: bold">24's Jack Bauer</span> Every mathematical inequality officially ends with "< Jack Bauer".If you wake up in the morning, it's because Jack Bauer spared your life. When Jack Bauer pissses into the wind, the wind changes direction.Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas. Killing Jack Bauer doesn't make him dead. It just makes him angry.If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he'd shoot Nina twice. If Jack Bauer was gay, his name would be Chuck Norris.If it tastes like chicken, looks like chicken, and feels like chicken, but Jack Bauer says its beef. Then you better believe it's beef. Jack Bauer once forgot where he put his keys. He then spent the next half-hour torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys. 1.6 billion Chinese are angry with Jack Bauer. Sounds like a fair fight. Let's get one thing straight: the only reason you are conscious right now is because Jack Bauer does not feel like carrying you. Jack Bauer was never addicted to heroin. Heroin was addicted to Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won. When life gave Jack Bauer lemons, he used them to kill terrorists. Jack Bauer hates lemonade. Jack Bauer once won a game of Connect 4 in 3 moves. Osama bin Laden's recent proposal for truce is a direct result of him finding out that Jack Bauer is, in fact, still alive. Jack Bauer is the leading cause of death in Middle Eastern men. Jack Bauer doesn't miss. If he didn't hit you it's because he was shooting at another terrorist twelve miles away. When Jack Bauer was a child, he made his mother finish his vegetables. Jack Bauer killed 93 people in just 4 days time. Wait, that is a real fact. Simon Says should be renamed to Jack Bauer Says because if Jack Bauer says something then you better do it. Jack Bauer won the Tour de France on a unicycle to prove to Lance Armstrong it wasn't a big deal. He thinks yellow wristbands are gay. Jack Bauer's favorite color is severe terror alert red. His second favorite color is violet, but just because it sounds like violent. When you open a can of whoop-*** Jack Bauer jumps out. When Google can't find something, it asks Jack Bauer for help. You can lead a horse to water. Jack Bauer can make him drink. Jack Bauer can get McDonald's breakfast after 10:30. When the boogie man goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Jack Bauer. In 96 hours, Jack Bauer has killed 93 people and saved the world 4 times. What the hell have you done with your life? Jesus died and rose from the dead in 3 days. It took Jack Bauer less than an hour. And he's done it twice. Jack Bauer killed so many terrorists that at one point, the #5 CIA Most Wanted fugitive was an 18-year-old teenager in Malaysia who downloaded the movie Dodgeball. In kindergarten, Jack Bauer killed a terrorist for Show and Tell. What color is Jack Bauer's blood? Trick question. Jack Bauer does not bleed. Guns dont kill people, Jack Bauer kills people. If Jack and MacGyver were locked in a room together, Jack would make a bomb out of MacGyver and get out. People with amnesia still remember Jack Bauer.Sun Tzu once wrote, "If your enemy is weaker, conquer him. If he is stronger, join him. If he is Jack Bauer, you're ******* dead." Jack Bauer literally died for his country, and lived to tell about it. Jack Bauer has been to Mars. That's why there's no life on Mars. Superman's only weakness is Kryptonite. Jack Bauer laughs at Superman for having a weakness. When Batman is in trouble, he turns on the Jack Bauer signal. It took Jack Bauer two minutes to beat a confession out of OJ.

Dave@Moon Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> At the BCA National in Columbus in 1999, the attached apparition was displayed. It was (was) a pretty nice '67 Wildcat, that had been in a wreck just before the show. If memory serves, no one perished in the Buick, and it was there (supposedly) to raise the spectre of safe driving. Admittedly, all it did was make my skin crawl. There also was a plea for donations toward its rehabilitation. I thought at the time, and think to this day that it had no place being displayed within 50 miles of the show field, whether it was pre-registered or not. It should have been, and hopefully was soon afterward, consigned to the crusher.Sure, grab the fender skirts, interior and exterior trim bits, any salvageable parts, but that's it! If I'd wanted to see wrecked Buicks and listen to tales of woe, I would've gone to my favorite junkyard, with an old George Jones cassette in my Walkman to keep me company. </div></div> Original thread on this car from 2002.
