Buick was founded in 1899 in Jackson, MI. It is one of the oldest automobile brands in the world, and the oldest in America. It was founded by David Dunbar Buick, as the Buick Auto-Vim and Power Company, an internal combustion engine manufacturer.
Buick introduced the Model F in 1906. When production ended in 1910, a total of 1,200 Buick Model F cars had been built. In 1906, the Model F was entered in a 1,000-mile relay run from Chicago to New York and was the only car to travel the entire distance, earning the nickname "Old Faithful." Buick was also the first car to travel across South America, driven from Buenos Aires, Argentina, over the Andes to Santiago, Chili, in 1914. Buicks won hill climbs across the country - including one in 1904 with one of the first 40 Buicks ever built.
