1959 Buick Videos
The first videos concerning the new 1959 Buick model line were offered through the Buick Dealer Organization Training program (DOT). Three videos – all of them in bright color – were produced to give a good intruduction about Styling, Engineering and Optional Equipment. Other issues contained info about Sales Procedures and Comparisons with other car manufacturers. Only a few television spots came out the year due to the steel and car sales crises.
