 1968 Buick Skylark Custom Convertible David Buick, born in Scotland Sept. 17, 1854, and brought to the United States at age 2, had been a successful plumbing inventor and manufacturer in Detroit when he turned his attention to gasoline engines in the late 1890s. He started a succession of companies: Buick-Auto-Vim and Power Co. (1899), Buick Manufacturing Co. (1902) and Buick Motor Co. (Incorporated May 19, 1903), all in Detroit.

David Dunbar Buick was building gasoline engines by 1899, and his
engineer, Walter L. Marr, built the first automobile to be called a
Buick between 1899 and 1900. But Buick traditionally dates its
beginnings to 1903. That was the year the company was incorporated and
moved from Detroit to Flint.
