Buick: 1946 thru 1960 Photo Archive
by Byron Olsen
|
|
|
|
|
This new book highlights General Motors oldest division during
some of its most successful and exciting years, 1946 through 1960.
When World War II ended in 1945, Buick was champing at the bit to
forge ahead in the sales race with its reputation for size, prestige
and straight eight cylinder power in every model. By 1954, Buick
succeeded in reaching third place in sales, ahead of Plymouth. But
after a few heady years among the sales leaders, some unfortunate
styling decisions in 1957 and 1958 would topple Buick from the
leadership pedestal. Share these heady days of growth and
success for an American automotive icon with superb quality original
factory photos from the time when Buick was one of Americas most
popular automobiles. Relive the arrival of ventiports, Dynaflow drive,
sweep spears of chrome, and all of the other Buick trademarks that
became part of the American lexicon.

Buick Performance Portfolio 1947-1962
The early post war Buicks retained early-40s styling but this
had changed by 1950. These years were very successful
years even if the products were not always at the leading
edge of technology, performance or styling. The Dynaflow
automatic transmission was ordered on some 85% of all new
Buicks by 1951 although the overhead-valve V8 was not
introduced until 1953. After the chrome and fins era in 1958
the early 1960s produced some well proportioned cars.

Buick Riviera Performance Portfolio 1963-1978
The Riviera was always sold as a hardtop model with two
doors. Power and performance gradually increased over the
years. From 1966 it became bigger and heavier. For 1970
the new 455ci V8 became available but emissions
regulations began to take their toll on performance. The 1971
Riviera became even bigger with new styling and by the
mid-70s horsepower was much reduced.
