Original 1928 photo of a Buick dealership in Pittsburg, PA. and noted several things are interesting: 1) All 10 Buicks have the radiator badge put on 29’s before then factory discontinued attaching them on Sept. 19, 1928. 2) None of the cars show any exterior options (rad caps, sidemounts, rims, spotlights, etc.) Even the showroom car appears to have no sidemounts. 3) All cars appear to have the factory standard issue ar- tillery wood rims (today, often confused with the optional demountable at the hub, wood wheels). 4) There appears to be a variety of car colors (B&W shades). 5) There is a Silver Anniversary poster in the showroom window. 6) All the Buicks, with the exception of one, have a note on the passenger front widow (price?). 7) The original Buick sign, shown on the building, sold for $9,500 in early 2019 ! (Editor’s Note: More 29 Buicks than at Tony Bult’s.)
