WalterMarr and ThomasBuick
Buick’s chief engineer, Walter
L.
Marr (left), and
Thomas
D.
Buick, son
of
founder David Dunbar Buick,
drove thefirst Flint Buickin a successful Flint-Detroit
round tripin July 1904.
David Buickwas building gasoline engines by 1899,
and Man,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, refinancedandmoved frgm
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 asthe nucleus of a
giant distribution system.He knew the Buick as a
“self-seller.”
If
automobiles could be this good,he
thought, maybeitwas timeto switch from the horse and
buggy business to automobiles.
William
C.
(Billy)
Durant
At the 1905 NewYork
Auto Show, Durant took
orders
for
1,000 Buicks
before
the
company had
‘built
40.
OnBuick’s
success, Durant created a
holding company,
September 16, 1908.
He
called it General Motors.
iv
Durant also created a racing team that won
500
racing
trophes
in
1909and 1910,including successesat
Indianapolistwo years before the Indy
500
began.
The success
of
Buick engineswas visible not only
on
the race track,but in endurancetests acrossthe country
and around the world. Buick wasthe only carto
complete a 1,000-mileChicago-to-New York race
in
1906.And
a
Buick was the firstcar to travel across
SouthAmerica, drivenfromBuenos Aires, Argentina,
over the Andes toSantiago,Chile
in
1914.

Buick drew plentyof attentionbecause it could climb
hills and run throughmud like no other car. Buick’s
enduranceand reliabilitywere worldfamous.
DuringWorld War
I,

as well as Red Cross ambulances

successfully that
one Buick ambulance was awardedthe Croix de Guerre
by the French government.

a builder of premier automobiles,Buickwas hardhit
by the GreatDepression.However, newGeneral
Manager Harlow H.Curticecreatedpopular new models
includingthe Specialand the Roadmaster. Buick sales
soon flourished.
