The Very First Buick – 1904 Buick Model B

Mar 17 2014

1904 Buick Model B

It’s a 2-cyl engine with a 2-spd. transmission, outputting 15 – 21 hp.  Built in Flint, Michigan. 37 made in total, none survived, this is 1 of 2 replicas.

Designed to imitate a living room,
Buick was nicknamed the “moving couch of America”.

Cool, but…

…so glad I wasn’t born back then. Olden times, ugh.

Cincinnati Looks like This

Jan 9 2014

Cincinnati, Ohio.

This still hasn’t worn off: I land in a new city, I’m handed keys to a brand new something, and wished a pleasant drive off I go.

As if this is my life.

This bridge is famous, the Roebling Suspension Bridge.  On one side is Ohio, on the other is Kentucky.

I was here to test the all-new 2014 Buick Regal
Starting at $29,690

Read my full review on Autonet.ca.

This Regal is the youngest, most athletic member of the family.

I like Buick, it’s an underdog.  One of the oldest car companies, is THE badge to buy in China, and they’re trying their guts out to shake their old-man stigma.

If you can get past the badge, this is a good entry level luxury sports sedan, especially the GS sports model.

Stayed at a boutique hotel stuffed with art, called Museum hotel.

I don’t really get art.

World’s Largest Neon Sign Museum

Dec 5 2013

The “American Sign Museum” in Cincinnati, OH.

Visited during a launch event, for the 2014 Buick Regal.

Will blog my review next week, short review is: I liked it, especially because it’s an underdog.

If you get past the badge, good car for good value.

The History & Meaning of Car Logos

Aug 7 2013

All automakers have a story behind their logo, here’s some of the more colourful ones.

Read it online at Autonet (and sorry it’s so hard to see below, the newspaper didn’t print so crisp today.)

Favourite line:

Mercedes’ 3-point star represents vehicles designed to travel by land, sea and air.
