Which country is the Buick car brand from?
2 Answers
Buick is an American car brand. The name 'Buick' is a phonetic translation from English, established by General Motors in the United States, Canada, and China, with sales in North America, China, CIS countries, and the Middle East. Buick's famous 'Three Shields' logo features three shields enclosed in a circle, resembling the pattern of 'three bullets,' which is the emblem of the Buick division, mounted on the car's radiator grille. The three shields are colored differently, from left to right: red, white, and blue. The Buick Motor Company was founded by David Dunbar Buick on May 19, 1904. In the latter half of 1904, it was acquired by a carriage manufacturer and became part of the General Motors Company established in 1908. As General Motors continued to expand, the Buick division became the company's second-largest department, primarily designing and manufacturing mid-range family cars. Buick has many well-known models, such as LaCrosse, Excelle, Regal, Enclave, etc.
I remember listening to my dad's car stories when I was little. He always said Buick was a quintessential American brand, founded by David Buick in 1903 and rooted in Michigan's industrial heartland. Later, it was acquired by General Motors and became part of the big family. Today, Buick is popular worldwide. When I traveled to China last year, I saw many joint-venture Buick cars on the streets of Shanghai, manufactured by SAIC-GM, blending American comfort with local characteristics—offering a smooth and luxurious ride. I find Buick's story quite inspiring, from its humble beginnings as a small company to becoming an international giant. It has weathered economic ups and downs while maintaining its footing, truly embodying the resilience of American manufacturing.
