It’s a Buick car dealership – oldest one in the nation.
Family-owned, almost 4th generation!
After nearly a century of sales and good service,
GM announced (and this made folks nervous)
The shop and car showroom really should close.
But Redlands resounded with a chorus of “No’s!”
Now it’s one hundred and four! (if you’re keeping score)
Here’s a hint that will help you a little bit more:
Think of something you wear on your head (as in clothes)
Plus land on a farm where food grows in rows.
