MONDAY FUN- ON THE LINE

Another fun day on the Reynolds Buick GMC Facebook Page. Today it's a salute to the men and women who assembled some of our favorite classic Buicks, via vintage photographs of the assembly lines humming along. There are several plants involved, including Buick's Home Plant in Flint as well as the GMAD Assembly Division in Fremont, the ASC plant where Riviera convertibles were made and even the Mitchell-Bentley Plant in Ionia, Michigan that made Buick station wagon bodies.

Oh, and be sure and notice Jackie Gleason picking up a new Roadmaster at the factory back in 1955. Buick Dealers were a sponsor of his TV series, "The Honeymooners." There's a new Riviera body on the line at Fisher, a delta wing '59 Electra 225 and even the roll test simulator where brand new Buicks moved under their own power for the first time.

So spend a few moments with us "on the line"- the Buick Assembly Line:

 

Fast Friday: Flint's Fun Rides

Our Fast Friday Flint edition will bring you some pretty cool Buicks we encountered in Buick Town during the week. It isn't exhaustive, and there re still more cruise nights to come and they make yield some special cars as well, but here's a mid week sampler of what we have seen in the home of Buick Motor Division so far. The list includes the final GNX produced (on display at the Sloan Museum along with a GNX engine), a great 1965 Special Deluxe with Cragar wheels which looks a lot like our '65 Reynolds Buick racer, a 1972 Buick Riviera boattail , a gorgeous low mile '86 Intercooled Grand National and a rarely seen '68 Skylark Coupe, which had the same body as our '68 Reynolds Buick GS.

So please enjoy some sweet Buicks from Buick Town:
