Buick is a division of the American automobile manufacturer, General Motors (GM). Started by automotive pioneer David Dunbar Buick in 1899, it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors in 1908. Before the establishment of General Motors, GM founder William C. Durant had served as Buick’s general manager and major investor. With the demise of Oldsmobile in 2004, Buick became the oldest surviving American automobile brand. Buick is one of the oldest automobile brands in the world and is currently the oldest in the United States still active today. Autocar, founded in 1897, is the oldest motor vehicle manufacturer in the Western Hemisphere; while originally an automobile maker, Autocar now builds heavy trucks. Oldsmobile, also an early automaker founded in 1897, is now defunct; Studebaker was founded in 1852, but did not begin producing automobiles until 1902; Henry Ford produced his first car in 1896 but did not start the Ford Motor Company until 1903, and during the period in between was involved with other automobile manufacturers such as Cadillac, founded in 1902. GM positions Buick as a premium automobile brand in its portfolio, above the mainstream Chevrolet brand and below the luxury Cadillac division, although many vehicles share underlying platforms. In North America, Buick vehicles are typically sold alongside GMC vehicles, another premium marque, at multi-brand dealerships.
