HISTORY:

This Buick was assembled at the Kansas City, KS Plant and originally

purchased new by Miss Matilda J. Gage [Frank Baum’s niece] at Jacobson Buick

in Aberdeen South Dakota.

Miss Gage promoted the children’s books about the land of OZ

authored by her uncle Frank Baum. The character of Dorothy depicted

in Baum’s books was based on Miss Gage and her younger sister, [the real] Dorothy.

Miss Gage’s Buick was sold in 1986 after her death.
