Buick Enclave: Appreciation of Contribution

Thank you for providing outstanding quality, chrome plated parts in support of the GM Buick Enclave

concept vehicle. Additionally, B&L was very responsive to our show car needs.

The Enclave was a demanding project from a design complexity and craftsmanship perspective. B&L

provided the attention to detail required to achieve "show car" quality parts worthy of such a fine interior

and exterior design. GM also required B&L to meet demanding time tables for plating turn-arounds.

B&L responded well and maintained a constructive working relationship. We also appreciated your

willingness to work with GM on attempting to plate a variety of material substrates. Again, B&L did a

good job coordinating the myriad of steps in the plating process to achieve high quality plated parts.

Please accept this exclusively designed image of the Buick Enclave as demonstration of our

appreciation of B&L's contribution. If you saw the Enclave down at the North American International

Auto Show, you would have to agree with the international press - The Enclave was well done! In part,

thanks to B&L Plating.

" The interior combines wood, two-tone leather and satin-finish trim to great effect, resulting in a look

that's both elegant and uniquely American." (On Wheels Inc.)

"The Enclave is an exquisite piece of show-car craftsmanship .... in a package that's pleasing to the eye.

The Enclave is among the nicest we've seen. " (Edmunds.com)

"The Enclave has some Buick characteristics, such as the waterfall grille, and perhaps the best-

executed example to date of the brand's resurrected portholes." (Cars.com)
