Model Cars - Buick
Buick is an American automobile brand that has been producing cars since 1899, making it one of the oldest and most historic automobile manufacturers in the United States. It is currently a division of General Motors (GM) and is renowned for producing a wide range of luxury vehicles that combine comfort, technology, and performance.
Buick has a strong presence in both the U.S. and international markets, with a history of producing some of the most iconic and innovative cars in American automotive history. Buick was founded in 1899 by David Dunbar Buick in Detroit, Michigan. The company originally focused on developing internal combustion engines and soon transitioned into car production.
Buick's early success helped lay the foundation for General Motors (GM), which was established in 1908 by William C. Durant. Buick was a pioneer in automotive technology, and one of its most notable innovations was the introduction of the first mass-produced V8 engine in 1953. This engine, the Nailhead V8, became a hallmark of Buick vehicles, offering both power and smooth performance. Today, Buick offers a variety of vehicles, including sedans, crossovers, and SUVs.
While it no longer produces the large, performance-oriented sedans it once was known for, Buick continues to focus on creating vehicles that offer comfort, modern features, and advanced technology. Buick is also part of GM's plans for an electric future. As part of GM’s EV strategy, Buick is expected to play a role in the brand’s electrification efforts, with electric vehicles likely to be a major focus in the coming years.
