During a recent coversation with another member we talked about different versions of the Tri-shield. So I thought I would throw this up in case it might be of interest. http://www.penskecommunity.com/profiles/blogs/buick-logo-full-of-history-and-symbolism
Thanks for sharing this! (Re: The Tri-Shield truth.) Hi Ron and fans of da' Buick Tri-Shield, . . . . . Thanks for sharing this little article! :TU: It does a very good job of describing the different Buick emblems and how they fit into Buick's history. I've bookmarked it to have it handy for later reference. Cheers, Edouard :beer P.S. I have to confess though, no Buick emblem since 1960 is even remotely as nice looking at the original Tri-Shield. Come to think of it, ditto for the cars!
That was a good read. Nice to see all the different logos used thru the years. Kind of partial to the '59 version with the red, white, and blue. Although, I also like the current version of all chrome. Colors do tend to fade over time. Just a coincidence of course, but I seem to have a fair bit in common with the history of the Tri Shield. Have some Scottish ancestry (not to mention the first name)....middle name is David......and of course like Buicks!:TU: Done my share of plumbing too, as far as that goes.:grin: That....and a buck, should get me a coffee.:bla:
Cool article have always been curious about the emblem and how it evolved and the date that Buick was incorporated (may 19) is my wife and I's wedding anniversary . Unfortunately when I told her she didn't seen to share my enthusiasm ...:laugh: thanks for sharing
"By 1960, the logo went from one shield to the tri-shield, representing the three Buick models then being built, LeSabre, Invicta and Electra." This was news to me. Who would have thunk that.
