| W/S. C. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1049 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/R.1.9.37. 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} | ||
