Buick is an automobile manufacturing company, which at its start was known as the Buick Motor Company. David Dunbar Buick created this company with incorporation on May 19, 1903. Buick was the inventor of the overhead valve engine, which is the main reason for success of the Buick Company. However, Buick struggled his first year in business and by 1904 the company was taken over by James Whiting. Whiting decided to bring in William C. Durant to manage his new company. Buick sold his stock in Buick for a minor amount of money.
William Durant was great at managing the company and before long Buick was the largest car manufacturing company in the United States. With the great success of Buick, Durant began corporate acquisitions under the new mega-corporation name of General Motors.
In the beginning, all of the manufacturers under the General Motors label were in competition with one another. Durant did not want the cars to be competition he had the desire to have each car to target one class of buyer. Buick was at the top with Cadillac the only car above Buick when it came to the prestigious buyer.
Finally in 1929, The Buick Motor Division of General Motors launched the Marqueete sister brand. This car was the dream to bridge the gap between Buick and Oldsmobile. The Marquette was discontinued in only one short year in 1930.
