From a Buick 6

Feb 12, 2007 2 Replies

Hello car experts,



I was wondering why Bob Dylan named one of his songs "From a Buick



6". What is a Buick 6? It seems that it might refer to a Buick with a 6 cylinder engine. Could it refer to a particular model? From searching the web, i see a few models from the early twenties that might have been called "Buick 6s". (Weirdly, the hits i got were from Australian car clubs.) The lyrics are very pre-war blues like, so it would make sense for the song to be referrinig to a car from that era. Any ideas?

thanks



By reading the lyrics, sounds like he's referring to a 6-door Buick hearse or funeral limo.

No clue here.

Sitting on a shelf in the bedroom is a book written by Stephen King called " From A Buick 8 ".

Its years old but, I haven't read it yet
