Notes:

 When General Motors Corporation dedicated its building at A Century of Progress, Chicago, a feature of the ceremonies was a parade of cars made in the early history of the passenger car divisions. Buick was represented by two of the oldest automobiles displayed-- one dated 1905 and the other 1909. The older veteran was driven by Henry Hopf, one of the oldest of Buick owners. F.A. Bower, now chief engineer of Buick, drove the 1909 model, with R.H. Grant, a Vice-President of General Motors, as a passenger. W.F. Hufstader, Buick sales manager, is shown at the wheel fo a 1933 Buick Sedan, which forms a striking contrast with its older brothers.
