• The first mass-produced truck debuts in 1912 with over 22,000 units sold.
• The company becomes integral in World War II, manufacturing over 600,000 trucks for the U.S. Military.

Who Owns Buick?

As mentioned earlier, Buick is of the many subsidiaries of GM. As the oldest American automaker that’s still operating to this day, the very first Buick model was released in 1903. However, it wasn’t until September 17, 1908 that GM purchased the company–this was just one day after GM officially went public with William C. Durant.

One of the major differences between GMC and Buick is that GMC is known for delivering rugged, heavy-duty pickup trucks and family-friendly SUVs. On the other hand, Buick forefronts affordable luxury, with most models featuring standard upscale amenities like automatic climate control, QuietTuning™ technology, leather-appointed seating, and more.
