Buick has a long and storied history in the American automotive landscape. Not only is it the oldest active automaker in America, but it was also the first to make a production engine with overhead valves. It was also the first to put turn signals on its cars, and a Buick car won the first race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You won’t find the greatest Buick of all time, the 1961 Buick Special, at your Buick dealer, but it’s important to recognize the brand’s innovative history.
