Walter Marr and Thomas

Buick

Buick’s chief engineer, Walter

Marr

(left), and

Thomas D. Buick, son of founder David Dunbar Buick,

drove the first Flint Buickin a successful Flint-Detroit

round trip in July 1904.

David Buick was building gasoline engines by 1899,

and Marr, his engineer, apparently built the first autoto

be called a Buick

1900. However, Buick traditionally

dates its beginnings

1903. That was the year the

company was reorganized, refinanced and moved from

Detroit to Flint. Buick has always been a product

innovator. Buick engineers developed the

“valve-in-head” engine, a light, powerful and reliable

engine which would eventually influence the entire

automotive industry.

William C.Durant was instrumental in promoting

Buicks across the country using his Durant-Dort

Carriage

Co.

outlets and salespeople as the nucleus of a

giant distribution system. He knew the Buick as a

“self-seller”. If automobiles could be this good, he

thought, maybeit was time to switchfrom the horse and

buggy businessto automobiles.

William

(Billy)Durant

At the 1905,New York

Auto Show, Durant took

orders for

1,000

Buicks

before the company had

built

40.

On Buick’s

success, Durant created a

holding company,

September 16, 1908.He

called

General Motors.

Durant also created a racing team that won

500

racing

trophiesin 1909and 19 10,including successesat

Indianapolistwo years before the Indy

500

began.

The success

Buick engineswas visible not onlyon

therace track, but in endurancetests acrossthe country

and around the world. Buick was the only car to

completea 1,000-mileChicago-to-New York race in

1906.

And a Buick was the first carto travelacross

SouthAmerica, driven fromBuenos Aires, Argentina,

over the Andes to Santiago, Chile in1914.
