Buick 1946-1960 (Photo Archive) Paperback – 24 Nov. 2006

In the 1950s and 1960s GM had an over 50% + share of the market place in the USA. It was so successful that there was the constant threat of anti-trust action to break up the company. Looking through the book, BUICK 1946-1960 PHOTO ARCHIVE, one can't help but notice how aggressively styled these cars were. Whether or not one appreciates these chrome laden land yachts today, one has to consider GM at least took a chance by making cars that stood out from the crowd, and thereby enjoyed great sales success. Unlike the GM line up of today, all of which unfortunately seem to be patterned after the late not-so-great Chevrolet Cavalier, which should have been named the Cadaver. GM in the past was run by automotive stylists and engineers, with the result that it produced world class cars that were tremendously popular. Today GM is run by MBA cost accountants who do not appreciate things automotive, and the result is a boring line up of look-alike appliances. GM has already euthanized Oldsmobile; Buick and Pontiac will likely meet the same fate if GM cannot look to it's past to find a plan to right itself.

In a word, excellent!!!!!
