You're welcome, 'KA7EII'. This jingle was used as part of the opening title of Milton Berle's "BUICK-BERLE SHOW" (1953-'55), and in the original opening titles of the "Classic 39" filmed episodes of "THE HONEYMOONERS" (1955-'56), which was also sponsored by Buick.
Thanks. I have not heard this song in years. I tell my friends that back in the 1950's there was a song about Buicks and don't want to believe me. Thanks for proving me right.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm trying to learn more about this record. Did your parents have a "demo" copy like this one or was it the regular "purple label" Capitol 78? Did it have both versions of the song on it?
My Dad, a Canadian Buick dealer, 1950 - 2004, had this record. Great memories. Thanks.

This was written for Buick by Frank Skinner and Jack Brooks, and used extensively on their radio and TV shows in the '50s.
