Buick History
Buick originated as an independent motor car manufacturer, the Buick
Motor Company, incorporated on May 19, 1903 by the Scottish-
American David Dunbar Buick (who invented the overhead valve engine on which the company's
success was based) in Flint, Michigan. In 1904 the struggling company was taken over by James
Whiting, who brought in William C. Durant to manage his new acquisition. Buick sold his stock for a
small sum upon departure, and died in modest circumstances forty years later. Durant was a
natural, and Buick soon became the largest car maker in America. Using the profits from this,
Durant embarked on a series of corporate acquisitions, calling the new mega-corporation General
Motors.
