BUICK CAR.
Replying to your C1/C31.8.37,
(1) If the 126" wheelbase is the shortest wheelbase with which the 320 cubic inch engine is supplied, then this is the car we want; if not, we want the shortest chassis on which a four-door saloon body is fitted.
(2) We do not require more than one spare wheel.
(3) We should like the car to be grey.
Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
