1956 Buick Videos

Buick changed the TV sponsorship for 1956. Milton Berle was exchanged with famous TV star Jackie Gleason. Buick was now part of the TV series ‘The Honeymooners’. The structure of sponsorship remained the same: Buick used the commercial brakes for showing their TV ads.

Over 20 slidefilms were published within the Buick Dealer Organization Training program. The first one – as usual – is the new model line introduction with great images of the new cars and features.
