The Buick Legacy

Buick has been manufacturing automobiles nearly as long as they have been around. The company was formed in 1899 by David Dunbar Buick, making them the oldest active American automaker. Since its inception, the brand’s history has been fun and exciting since the beginning. Buick recovered from near bankruptcy in 1904 to become one of the world’s largest automakers. And from day one, Buick was a major product innovator. It all started when they created the first overhead valve engine.

Buick was also the first automaker to introduce the closed-body car, and they achieved this four years ahead of Ford. In 1931, Buick debuted two major achievements; the straight-8 engine and the synchromesh transmission. In 1938, Buick introduced a shift lever and turn signals mounted on the steering column. Buick would become so popular that they were exporting cars to the British royal family.

Styles change drastically over the years, and Buick vehicles have several features that set them apart from the rest. The legendary Buick style formed over the last 100 plus years includes lasting features like the iconic Trishield logo that prominently appears on the front of every Buick model, the curved trim line that runs nearly the entire length of the vehicle, and the Waterfall grille, which has been a Buick trademark since the 1960s.

Many consider the year 1936 as the spot in time that marked the beginning of the Buick renaissance. The 1936 Buick Special was capable of hitting speeds up to 85 MPH, and Buick was not shy about touting this accomplishment. In 1953, Buick celebrated its 50th anniversary by releasing the Roadmaster Skylark Convertible, which featured the brand’s first V8 engine. This was the beginning of a trend that saw Buick shift to producing more performance cars and convertibles with sharp looks and sleek designs.

The 1970s saw Buick devote their time and energy to developing luxury sedans with roomy and luxurious interiors. The large luxury sedan market was saturated with the likes of the Buick Roadmaster and Park Avenue, both of which defined and dominated the luxury sedan market. Buick models offered a wide range of luxury options and features and were wildly popular.

From its humble beginnings, the Buick brand has greatly impacted the automotive industry and remains General Motors’ crown jewel. If he were alive today, David Buick would be proud of the emphasis on quality and style that has kept the brand as popular as ever. Buick has set itself above the rest, fitting into a unique category of luxury and style that is actually affordable.

Buick Warranties

When you drive off our lot in a new Buick, your vehicle is backed by an excellent warranty. Buick’s warranty coverage is dubbed the Experience Buick Protection Program, and if you purchase a new Buick, you will receive the no-deductible New-Vehicle Limited Warranty. The Bumper-to-Bumper portion of the warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, and the powertrain warranty is five years or 60,000 miles.

The Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty covers everything inside and outside of your new Buick that is not related to the powertrain.
