1938

In this large aerial view of Buick probably taken in 1938 you can see the test track (at far right) located where factory #27 (Liberty Engine Plant) was at on Stewart. Don Bent stated in his fine book "A Place Called Buick" that this track was built in 1937 and demolished in 1942.  Largest steel order story.  1937 news story about the 1938 models.  Another story including the new transmission plant #83.
