1906 Buick

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.
