Contents FounderEmblemHistory of Buick Cars Buick Motor Decision is the oldest American automobile manufacturer. Headquarters located in Flint. It is also a division of General Motors. Manufacturing exports are in high demand in the North American and Chinese markets. The history of the company's creation dates back to the last century, when the Scottish-born American industrialist David Buick set about creating an internal combustion engine. Owning at that time a plumbing company on the right of joint activity with a partner, he decided to sell his share to him. The amount received from the sale went to the creation of a new company to implement his idea. And in 1909 he created the Buick Motor Car Company, which specialized in the production of power units for agricultural machinery. He worked on the development of internal combustion engines in parallel with his colleague Marr, and by 1901 the first successful project in the form of a car was invented, which was acquired by a Buick acquaintance for $ 300. The development of subsequent production put Buick in financial difficulties and encouraged him to take out a loan from a colleague, Briscoe, who made guns for the company. Brisco, in turn, delivered an ultimatum to Buick, according to which the latter was obliged to reorganize the company, where almost the entire block of shares belonged to Brisco under creditor conditions. Briscoe now took over as director, with Buick as his deputy. In 1904 the company was sold to the American industrialist Whiting, where Buick no longer held positions in the directorate. In 1908, the automobile company became part of General Motor. Production is focused on low-cost models of the same type of middle class cars. Founder Unfortunately, there is little biographical information about the founder. David Dunbar Buick was born in September 1854 in Arbroath. He is an American inventor of Scottish origin. He was also an entrepreneur selling airships and had a plumbing business. Created the Buick Motor Car Company, in which he invented the first car in 1901. He died at the age of 74 in the spring of 1929 in Detroit. Emblem From the very beginning of the company for many years the logo was presented in a different variation. Initially, the main feature of the badge was the Buick inscription, which over time changed the font and shape in which it was located, initially it was a circle, which was replaced by a rectangular shape and background colors. Already in 1930, the number 8 was added to the inscription, characterizing the cars manufactured based on an 8-cylinder engine. Next, a colossal restructuring of the emblem was carried out. Instead of an inscription, there was now the coat of arms of the majestic Buick family. A little later, with the advent of several car models, namely three, the coat of arms multiplied by three and now on the radiator grille was depicted in the form of connected three coats of arms of silver color placed in a metal circle. This emblem is used in modern times. History of Buick cars In 1903, the first car under the Buick brand with a single-cylinder engine was released.
