Buick was "Run" back in those days by a guy named Harlow Curtice, or as EVERYBODY called him "Red". He LOVED "The Buick", even after he got promoted to run General Motors, he still kept his eye on HIS division, to the point of "Big-Dealing" Fisher Body into selling Buick bodies for almost $50 LESS than what they were selling the OTHER divisions' bodies.. The mayor of Flint got himself a new Cadillac one year, & told him, "Red, that's the FINEST car I ever had..."Curtice kinda glowered at him & said, "George, that's WAY too much car for you..." The guy backed down, & the next day, got himself a snazzy Buick.
