The story of Adelaide Fogg. (First printed in the Australian PreWar Buicks E Magazine by Jeff Randell and used with John Forster’s permission.) Adelaide Fogg is seen standing next to her 1929 Buick roadster and she just barely comes up to the top of the folded roof. Fogg was only 4’ 11’’ high and so you can see that while the Buick was a big car in any case, she certainly underlined that fact. (This is an old advertising trick to make the car look bigger - that Ford still uses today. Adelaide Fogg was born in 1897 and lived until 1981. She was famous for her dancing skills and is legendary in the Omaha area still today. Her story is a remarkable journey and involves all of the things that go to make up a good suspense story for television. If you want to read her full story, then go to this site: We think it not only worth a read, but we also think that you will enjoy Adelaide’s journey. In the meanwhile, enjoy the Buick. We have two photos of Fogg and her Buick; they both look great. (Photo Bostwick and Frohardt taken October 24, 1928 at Elmwood Park.) Editors note: Sidemounted roadster with tire covers and trunk rack and correct top cover in place. However, in bottom photo, golf club door appears to be on the wrong side - maybe photo flipped ?
