Buick automobiles go all the way back to 1899 when when David Dunbar Buick established the company. William Durant soon took over the company and being a master promoter elevated it to the largest selling car brand in America. By 1908 Durant went on an acquisition spree and this marked the beginning of General Motors. Buick quickly was slotted in just behind Cadillac as a higher end option for GM buyers. It has remained in that position ever since so it's little wonder that so many Buicks were on hand for the 6th Cruisin' For A Cure For ALS show in Lawrenceburg. Among those was a 1970 Skylark, a 1971 Skylark, a 1968 GTX, a 1958 Riviera Special, a 1963 Riviera, a couple of Grand Nationals, a Gran Sport, a 1970 Cutlass, another Riviera, and another Gran Sport.
Whether they're the great classics, ultimate collectors, overlooked and forgotten, or even brand new cars I want to talk about them. Feel free to leave a comment or, better yet, drop me an email at turnerbudds@yahoo.com.
