New York Central System’s new six-car railroad auto carrier, which has a payload increase of 50 per cent, is shown at Flint, Mich., July 29, 1954. Railroad cars usually carry four automobiles for cross-country shipment. The top floor of the car is let down to form a ramp for loading the second deck. (AP Photo)</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Hello Gerry, some info on the Buick. This car has been in our family since 1981. Dad was the third owner. It was built in Atlanta, Georgia and delivered to Adcock Motor sales in St. Petersburg, Florida. Dad bought from a gentleman in Almont, Mi. Dad worked at Buick in Factories <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://buickcity.blogspot.com/2008/01/factory-04_13.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">4,</span></a> <a href="http://buickcity.blogspot.com/search?q=%2336" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">36</span></a> </span>and <a href="http://buickcity.blogspot.com/2008/03/factory-10.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">10</span></a> where he retired from in 1988. Dad passed away in November of 1996. The car is mostly all original with 90% of the original paint, I repainted the blue around 1985. Other than a carpet change in 1985 the interior is all original. The drive train is all original with just normal maintenance done to it. Still has one of the original tires in the trunk.
It's been in numerous parades including the UAW 50th Anniversary parade and a lot of car shows over the years. I was invited to display it in Factory 36 during the Buick Centennial in 2003. The guy setting up the displays knew my dad and ask me if the car was still around since it hadn't been out since dad had passed. I told him I had it and would more than happy to bring it in. Dad would have been very proud to see his Buick on display in the plant. He worked in 36 for a few years and a lot of the guys knew him and his car he talked about. It's also been used in a lot of family weddings over the years. The car has Factory Air Conditioning, power Windows, Seats and power antenna. With just 79,000 miles still drives like a new car. We treat it as a family heirloom and my job is to preserve for the next generation.</b></span></i></td></tr>

Wisner, possibly as early as 1898. The carriage house which was his workshop was written about in The Detroit Journal of October 10, 1901 as being one of the best appointed machine shops in the state. I just so happened to be there the day they were moving it to it's new home in Crossroads village near Flint, where it can still be seen today. <i>I was skipping school that day</i>. It was located at the southwest corner of east Court and Lapeer Street. I looked in the windows with the glass now removed and it was already elevated for moving. It was bright red with white trim as I recall. It was being moved to make way for the new business loop through Flint called the Buick & U.A.W. expressway or I-475 as we know it today. Wisner's first car was known as Wisner's "Buzz Wagon". Wisner built a total of three cars and two of them are said to have had their final assembly done at the Armstrong plant on St. John Street. Robert (Bert) Armstrong supposedly helped Wisner with those two. One side note is that James Parkhill erected the first gasoline station in Flint during 1905. A recreation of this station was for a time set up at the Sloan museum in Flint. <span style="color: red;">James Parkhill <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=GgsAAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA912&dq=saginaw+street+flint&hl=en&sa=X&ei=T-a0UZ72BI-24APZoIHABQ&ved=0CF8Q6AEwCTgU#v=onepage&q=saginaw%20street%20flint&f=false" style="color: #6699cc; text-decoration: none;">Flint Garage 1906</a>.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">I was doing my other passion, which is World War II research, when I spotted this old Buick funeral coach. It was being used to carry the body of Hans William Lansdorff who was the captain of the "pocket" battleship <a href="http://www.grafspee.com/" target="_blank">Graf Spee</a>, in the opening months of the war. Even the British sailors paid their respects at that time, since this was at the very beginning of the war and the intense hatred towards Germans had not yet happened. Hitler would make that happen in a very short time. Since I have always studied World War II history, I find it very interesting that Lansdorff's sailing orders proceeded the, so called, Polish incursion by 10 days. It's as though Hitler could see into the future and knew the Pole's were going to invade Germany before it actually happened. </span></b></td></tr>
