You can find Buick used cars at nearly any GMC dealer in your area. Buick used cars are great investments because the automaker makes great products that last for a long time. But how did today’s Buick used cars get to be where they are today? Here is a brief timeline of the Flint-based automaker with some of the more important years of its development.
1902 – David Dunbar Buick began the Buick Motor Car Company in Detroit.
1904 – William Crapo Durant took over the company as David Buick was having financial troubles.
1908 – Durant incorporated the General Motors Corporation into the brand.
1911 – Buick offers the first car with a closed-body.
1926 – The Buick Master Six hits the market. It featured “four drum brakes, a three-sped transmission and a switch on the steering wheel to dim the lights at night.”
1929 – Buick launches the Marquette. This was designed to “bridge the price gap” between the Buick brand and the Oldsmobile brand. Production of the Marquette only lasted for a year.
1936 – The Buick Century hits the market as one of the automaker’s sportier models. It could reach speeds of 100 miles per hour. That was quite a feat back in those days.
1949 – The Riviera was introduced into the Buick lineup. This was a hardtop coupe.
