TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR.
The Buick motor car is soon to enter into lts twenty-fourth year of manufacture. During the long record of production of quality motor vehicles, the Buick ear has grown from an initial production of two cars in 1903 to the 1926 production of 230,009 Buick cars. Buick distribution now extends the world over, the Buick car being sold in more than 100 countries.
Each year Buick has improved its product. Going through the usual pioneer stages of two and four cylinders, Buick early developed a six cylinder car, making such rapid advances that it became known as The Standard of Comparison" among medium priced cara. This was principally due to the sound policies of General Motors, of which the Buick Motor Company is a part.
