WalterMaur and

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 July1904.

David Buick was buildinggasoline engines by 1899,

and Marr,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 movedfrom

Detroit to Flint. Buickhas always beena product

innovator. Buick engineers developed the

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

engine which would eventuallyinfluence 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

giant distribution system. He knew the Buick asa

“self-seller.”

automobiles could be this good,he

thought, maybe

was time to switch from the horse and

buggy business to automobiles.

At the

1905

New York

Auto Show, Durant took

orders for 1,000Buicks

before the company had

built

40.

On Buick’s

success, Durant created

holding company,

September 16, 1908.He

called it General Motors.

William

(Billy)

Duvant

Durant also created a racing team that won

500

racing

trophies in 1909and 19

10,

including successes at

Indianapolis two years before the Indy

500

began.

The success of Buick engines was visible not onlyon

the race track, but in endurance tests across the country

and around the world. Buick was theonly car to

complete a 1,000-mile Chicago-to-New York race in

1906.And

Buick was thefirst car to travel across

SouthAmerica, driven from Buenos Aires, Argentina,

over the Andes to Santiago, Chile in 1914.
