Design Studio drawing of the hood logo on a 29-27. Also, note the door handles, hubcaps and front fender parking lights (ended up on the Cadillac), which are not what ended up on the 29 Buick. At least, in this sketch, the rad cap design had been settled !

  • 29-24 sent in by Vaughn Gunthorpe. Circa 1944. The car may have been a standard Buick Roadster owned by the local matron at the Charters Towers Hospital.  There appears to be 3 men in an Australian Karki uniform and these men were wearing slouch hats. Given the state of the car this picture may have been taken in the war years  and the men in army uniforms give another hint to the photo being taken at that time. John Forester advised that “there was a contingency of troops in Charters Towers during the mid to later part of the war”. Charters Towers is a rural town in the Charters Towers Region, Queensland, Australia. It is 136 km by road south-west of Townsville on the Flinders Highway. During the last quarter of the 19th century, the town boomed as rich gold deposits under the city were developed.
  • Caude McGee at the wheel of a specially prepared 29-44 roadster (with high compression head special rear end, etc.) giving the GM Marketing staff a flying 98 MPH drive on the test track in July 1928. (Ed. Note: Glad they didn’t have to stop in a hurry !)
