Two Buick Commercials

“‘Over The Top’ 1914”, “‘Daytona 10,000’ 1960”, “Shortly after the turn of the century, the Chamber of Commerce of Reno, Nevada, offered a prize for the first car to make the run from San Francisco to Reno. The first car to accomplish this feat was a Buick. This film of the event — believed to be around 1911 — was made for a Buick dealer in San Francisco who, presumably, sponsored the trip. The film was unearthed recently from the files of an old photographic studio in San Francisco.”

“Earle Films -present- ‘Over the Top’ A Battle With The Elements'”, “The Reno Commercial Club Trophy, offered to the first automobile to arrive in Reno, Nevada, after opening a road over the summit from California.”,

“A 1960 Buick Invicta logs over 10,000 miles in 5,000 minutes. Fireball Roberts, Marvin Panch, Tiny Lund, Ralph Moody, Larry Flynn, Bobby Johns, and Larry Frank drive this car and put it to the ultimate test.”
