Buick Automobile

Buick is a premium automobile brand with a legacy that dates back to the very dawn of the American automotive industry. Founded in 1903 by David Dunbar Buick, it holds the distinction of being the oldest active American automotive marque. The brand served as the cornerstone upon which General Motors was established in 1908 by William C. Durant. While it began as a pioneer of the overhead valve engine in the United States, it has since evolved into a global luxury player.

In the modern era, Buick's manufacturing footprint has shifted significantly to align with global demand. While the brand remains headquartered in the United States, the majority of its production and sales now take place in China, where Buick is positioned as a prestigious high-end brand. Production facilities are located across North America, including Michigan, and extensively throughout China via joint ventures. Ownership remains firmly under the General Motors umbrella, representing a key pillar of their global premium vehicle strategy.
