Matt Harwood Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Just wanted to give a great, big <span style="font-weight: bold">"WOW"</span> to the folks who put together the "Buick Bugle." The new format and color is a big change for the better. I don't mind the step down in the thicknes of the paper to get the quality of content we're starting to see.Kudos!

Guest my3buicks Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The BUGLE has ARRIVED!!!!!!!! Come to maturity, etc!!!!!!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I concur, Matt! WOW!!! Of course, those colorful '56s are part of the WOW! too.I haven't read through the whole thing yet, but it looks great! It's been a "journey" of sorts, but it looks like the stellar product we all desire has -- with the work of Pete Phillips and all others involved -- been achieved. Great articles!! Great layouts! Great color! The plastic mailing bag is a nice touch, too!To me, it's always good when the graphic artist is in the same general locale as the Editor. A trip down the road can help fix things that can't be done over the phone, plus proofing too. Looks like a great combination! Plus having a printer that handles so many other national level car club publications.Thanks and appreciation to all who orchestrated the upgrades!Willis Bell 20811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I agree with the positive comments above. I look forward to the Bugle now more than ever.The "Ask the Buick Advisor" feature has been a great addition to the Bugle, and I have certainly enjoyed Don Bent's continuing series on the Flint factory site. It was great to see the update on the Buick Heritage Alliance in the June issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrob Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The new Bugle does rock! All of the changes this year have made it a much better, readable magazine than before. You can tell how much editor Pete Phillips loves Buicks, with every word he writes! I love the theme issues, and color is just the icing on the cake! I always looked forward to my Bugle every month, now more than ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Guy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I just received my Bugle, and must agree with all the others! Pete and his new crew are putting out a first class publication. This may be the item needed to get some of the old members back, and entice some new ones. CONGRATULATIONS ON A JOB WELL DONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUICK RACER Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Nothing here yet, obviously now that it comes from a different place in the country and 4 miles away(The Old Guy) gets it before I do, the problem is 48507 land, and they will hear about it if I don't get tomorrow!For those of you that are also waiting, Here's the cover!

NTX5467 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I read through mine last night. Another great issue from Pete!! The new layouts and graphics are also great!! Again, many thanks to all who helped make it happen!!Willis Bell 20811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42crazy Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Adam, it must be the post office that is causing the problem, Ed Keil got his Tuesday, but Pete hasn't gotten his yet. Road Island, Canada and Texas all have theirs, so, it must be the individual post offices that are causing the problem, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Paul, it's got to be the local PO, if it's still like it was, they have 10 days to deliver from when it is turned over to the USPS,at the shipping point, so they dilly dally around. There are at least 4 members, maybe more in my zip code that have had delays in getting their Bugles in the past months, so will check with them this time again, and see when we all get ours.Then we have some ammunition with the local PO, The Old Guy is only 4 miles away, but he has a different zip code, smaller community than where I am at... lots of apartments and stuff like that in my area.

Guest imported_Thriller Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I'll agree with the kudos...I too haven't finished it yet...still thinking of what I could do with my '56 now (there's been a customized one show up this year locally...kind of neat, but not really my thing). I was wondering why I hadn't already seen a thread started on it.Congrats to Pete, the National Office, and thank you to the new publisher. Things look great and I'm looking forward to it continuing.

michel88 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I just got my new Bugle yesterday and it is really a great read. I am a big fan of '54 - '57 Buicks even though I don't have one (yet!). I learned a lot from the 1956 Buicks are 50! article. Great job Pete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Got mine TODAY! Read it all but the '56 article, saving for later tonight! Anyone not a BCA member is missing a great magazine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 IF the magazine gets to you without the new clear plastic wrapper on it, you'll KNOW if somebody has been giving the magazine a "demo drive" before it got to you. I suspect you'll agree that it was worth the waitHopefully, one of the sorting machines didn't "eat" it!!!! In which case the Post Office might send the remains (in another plastic bag) and a note of apology.Just some thoughts,NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 53Nailhead Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Great!!! I rec'd mine earlier than I ever have, don't know if everyone above the 49th had the same experience. Agree with all of the above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tripleturbine Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 MY 2c.......I received my "New Bugle" in the new plastic bag totally un-molested. First time in 4 years my issue didn't look like it was run over by a truck.Thanks to all that made this possible.Hoorah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Ditto! This issue is top notch...thanks to all involved in the changeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
