  • In 1937 King Carol II of Romania paid a state visit to Poland. The parade pictured is in the Polish city of Krakow. The King is seen in the lead automobile, a 1929 Buick Phaeton, 7 passenger. With King Carol II is the Polish President, Ignacy Mościcki, they were there to inspect Polish troops.<br /> <br /> As in many European countries, particularly in the East, Buick was held in such high esteem to the point where Cadillac’s were often seen in parades as the following vehicles with the biggest Buick carrying the dignitary of the day. In this photo the second and third cars could be Cadillacs and there are unidentified later model cars in the distance.

  • From the 1929 Annual AutoShow in Lafyette, IN: Norm McKendry noticed that a 1929 Buick coach (likely a model 51) was sporting a set of raised white letter Goodyear tires. "I have never seen these tires on any other new 1929 Buick and none of the other Buicks in the photo have them. (Ed. Note: Buick used Goodrich.) I assume the dealer thought theses tires enhanced the sales appeal of this particular model." (Ed. Note: Only other 29’s I’ve seen Goodyear tires on were the Flxible cars that towed the Goodyear blump.) Note: late hubcaps
  • From the 1929 Annual AutoShow in Lafyette, IN: Norm McKendry noticed that 1929 Buick coupe that had a rear spare tire cover with the Silver Anniversary logo. I assume this was a dealer option though I have seen reference to a "deluxe wheel cover" option in the Buick literature. The rear logo is a nice echo of the front radiator emblem.

  • Phil Green (55X) sent these shots of of a very large billboard photographed recently, in Dunedin, South Island New Zealand. Note the model 29-27 Buick featured prominently on right side of car line-up. Cooke Howlison & Co. began trading at 156 Great King Street, Dunedin in 1895. Founded by Mr. Frederick Cooke and Mr. Edward Howlison, Cooke Howlison began business as a small bicycle shop. By 1907, they had sold their first cars-- a Rover and a Buick-- and were well on their way to establishing the proud reputation that endures today.
