All of them had special flowered landau tops? Flowered like your mom's shelf paper or the vinyl cushions on your glider?

I bought my first new car there in 1969 for $1,100.00 using a credit coupon book at 1.5% interest. A 1970 Vega. I lived 2 miles away but I think the Vega started rusting out before I was 1/2 way home. I learned early to hate GM but I learned it too slowly. I bought 5 more Cevy models and 1 Olds before I woke up and went Japanese in 1984. I wish as part of the bailout, they would have to return with interest all the money I wasted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-36175183786708170352009-01-26T17:11:00.000-08:002009-01-26T17:11:00.000-08:00Big 3 dealerships of days yore...Slivka BuickMacGi...Big 3 dealerships of days yore...<BR/><BR/>Slivka Buick<BR/>MacGillilvray Buick<BR/>Blain Buick<BR/>Parsell Buick<BR/>Eastside Buick<BR/><BR/>Knickerbocker Oldsmobile<BR/><BR/>Summerfield Chevrolet<BR/><BR/>Bennett Ford<BR/>Graff FordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-47552891002572126312009-01-26T16:54:00.000-08:002009-01-26T16:54:00.000-08:00I always liked it because my granfather's name was...I always liked it because my granfather's name was Vern.Gordon Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911010126952753812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-80221511839333146512009-01-26T09:30:00.000-08:002009-01-26T09:30:00.000-08:00Vern was a friend of mine.

I will always fondly remember "The 'ole Ringmaster"!<BR/><BR/>I was there when his family spread his ashes in the pond at #18 at Warwick Hills. Warwick, The Buick Open and Vern Parsell should always be said together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-29700072490910112352009-01-26T07:48:00.000-08:002009-01-26T07:48:00.000-08:00Do you know those little confectionery chocolate d...Do you know those little confectionery chocolate drops with tiny white can candies embedded on the top?
