Joe Taubits!

I don't remember Joe racing; he was a noted Buick enthusiast and collector.

For many years he was the guy that maintained the one remaining Buick "Bug" racer, now in Flint's Sloan Museum.

When my Uncle Jim retired from Chevrolet Flint Manufacturing/Pressed Metal Div ("Chevy in the Hole") Joe picked him up in a Buick Limo and drove him out the gate.
