1908 Buick Model 10

With Durant at the helm of Buick, by 1905 production totaled 750 units, a far cry from the 28 produced the preceding year. Engines and transmissions were built in Flint, Michigan while bodies were produced in Jackson, until 1907 when Flint became the permanent home of Buick.
The Buicks of this period attained power via an opposed dual cylinder L-head engine rated at 22 horsepower.
Buick production for 1908 was 8,820 cars, second only to Ford. This success is due to two reasons; the first being Buick’s Model 10, the car that made Buick.
The second was the merger with Olds, forming General Motors, under the guidance of Durant. Also in 1908 unassembled Buicks were shipped to Canada for assembly and marketed under the name McLaughlin.
