| 1049 PER BAG. W/S. C. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rml/R.11.11.38. BUICK CAR. Many thanks for your Cl/C10.11.38. We should like the car to be dark green, combination 532, with the brown leather upholstery 2T1339. We should like it to have two spare wheels at the side and stream boards, not running boards. We note that they do not appear to be able to import a radio with the car. We were particularly interested in trying out the latest General Motor Radio, even though we had it on a temporary importation arrangement. Perhaps you will take the matter up further with them. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} P.S. We want to be quite sure that this car is fitted with the 37.8 horse-power engine. | ||
