Walter Marrand Thomas Buick

Buick’s

chief

engineer, Walter

Marr (left), and

Thomas D. Buick, son of founder David Dunbar Buick,

drove the first Flint Buick in a successfulFlint-Detroit

round trip in July 1904.

David Buick was building gasoline engines by 1899,

and

Mm,

his engineer, apparently built the first auto to

be called a Buick in

1900.

However, Buick traditionally

dates its beginnings to.1903.That was the year the

company was reorganized, refinanced and moved from

Detroit to Flint. Buick has always been a product

innovator. Buick engineers developed the

“valve-in-head” engine, a light, powerful and reliable

engine which would eventually influence the entire

automotive industry.

William C. Durant was instrumental in promoting

Buicks across the country using

his

Durant-Dort

Carriage Co. outlets and salespeople as the nucleus of a

giant distribution system. He knew the Buick as a

“self-seller.”

automobiles could be this

good,

thought, maybe it was time to switch from the horse and

buggy business to automobiles.

At the 1905New York

Auto Show,Durant took

orders for

1,000

Buicks

before the company had

built

40.

On Buick’s

success, Durant created

called it General Motors.

(Billy)Durant

Durant also created a racingteam that won

500

racing

trophies in 1909and 19 10, including successesat

Indianapolistwo years before the Indy

500

began.

The success of Buick engines was visible not only on

the race track,but in endurance tests across the country

and around the world. Buick was the only car to

complete a 1,000-mileChicago-to-New York race in

1906.And a Buick was the first car totravel across

South America, driven fromBuenos Aires, Argentina,

over the Andes to Santiago, Chilein 1914.
