round tripin July 1904.

David Buickwas building gasoline engines by 1899,

be called a Buick in 1900. However, Buick traditionally

dates its beginnings to 1903. That was the year the

company was reorganized, refinancedandmoved frgm

Detroit

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 asthe nucleus of a

giant distribution system.He knew the Buick as a

“self-seller.”

automobiles could be this good,he

thought, maybeitwas timeto switch from the horse and

buggy business to automobiles.
