Buick Club to Celebrate General Motors 100th Anniversary

The Face of Buick

Five years ago the Buick Club of America celebrated that marque's 100th anniversary with an incredible gathering of buick cars from the early years to the contemporary Reatta. Included were rarely seen "dream cars" like Harley Earl's Y-Job and his jet-influenced LeSabre prototype. Now the club is back to honour GM's 100th and Buick's 105th at the Flint Cultural Center, home of the Sloan Museum and Buick Gallery and Research Center, on July 16-20, 2008. What I found especially interesting is a plan to host tours of five of the more prominent houses in the area owned by GM executives. Interesting because the historic Ford and Dodge family homes are most often highlighted during similar tours. Does this mean we'll get a peek into Bob Lutz's personal garage where he hides his favorite classics? If you like Buicks (and who doesn't?) here's a rare opportunity to dip into the past.
