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.

“self-seller.” If automobiles could be this good,he

thought, maybe it was time to switchfromthe horse and

The successof Buick engines was visible not onlyon

therace track, but in endurance tests acrossthe country

1906. And a Buick wasthefirst car to travel across

South America, drivenfromBuenos Aires,krgentina,

Buick drew plentyof attention becauseit could climb

hills and run through mudlikeno other car. Buick’s

endurance and reliability were world famous.

During World War

Buick built Liberty aircraft engines

as well as Red Cross ambulances

successfully that

one Buick ambulance was awarded the Croix de Guerre

by the French government.

As a builderof premier automobiles, Buickwas hard hit

by the Great Depression. However, new General
