Back then Buick would test them on the track first and then install the body after it passed the test.

The front cornice is different, the front structure is different, and the east face has longer and has eight windows with unequal heights instead of six with equal heights.<br /><br />Lewis and Broadway is closer, but the south-face entrance is in the wrong place and the brickwork is built differently in many ways. I don't think they could be the same.<br /><br />There's a brick ex-bank building with roughly these proportions across Saginaw from the old Fisher plant between Atherton and Hemphill (the recent Luge bar), but it's oriented wrong and the construction details are different.JWillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243354011523248499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-82447163099209505252009-09-26T23:30:15.002-07:002009-09-26T23:30:15.002-07:00I'm not sure.
