The Buick Motor Company was founded in 1903 by David Dunbar Buick. Not yet a part of General Motors, Buick’s own invention, the overhead valve engine, would later drive the success of the company. Unfortunately, Buick wasn’t much for corporate management, and he sold the struggling company in 1904. Under the management of William Durant, Buick quickly became the largest carmaker in America, allowing Durant to make the series of acquisitions that would form General Motors.

In recent years, Buick has been the car of choice for grandmothers and grandfathers worldwide. The company has started to change that perception, releasing models like the LaCrosse and the Enclave with styling and power the rest of us might enjoy. Buick has a long road before they’re back to the glory days of the Electra and the Skylark, but at least they’re looking in the right direction.
