Buick Car Workshop Repair Manual

 In 1903, David Dunbar Buick, having sold his enamel bathtub business, founded the Buick Motor Car Company.

In the same year, the first Buick car was born. The Model B was developed in 1904 and had a 2-cylinder engine located under the front seat. In 1908, after joining the GM corporation, the 10th model was developed, which was equipped with a 4-cylinder engine. The company's designers created a six-cylinder engine in 1914. The company reached fourth place in terms of car production in the United States in 1919-1924. In 1925, the American company mastered the mass production of 6-cylinder engines. At the same time, the 25th model appeared on the Standard Six chassis, equipped with an open body. This car gained wide popularity.

8-cylinder engines began to be produced at the company's factories in 1931. The Century, Special, Limited and Roadmaster models rolled off the company's assembly line in 1931-1936. "Rodmaster" "Phaeton", model 87C and model 81 were released in 1936. The Buick Limited 39-90L rolled off the assembly line in 1939 and was at one time the longest and most expensive in the American automaker's family. Post-war Buick models had a distinctive “bomb in a ring” emblem, which was installed above the hood. The updated Roadmaster sedan began production in 1948, and in 1953 the spectacular Skylark convertible was created. From 1954 to 1961, the company modernized its model range. From 1961 to 1965, Buick produced cars in the compact Special series. In subsequent years, the Century and Skyhawk were developed. In 1984, the auto world became acquainted with the Park Avenue model and production of the Riviera Coupe began. In Los Angeles in 1987, the updated Buick Regal was demonstrated.

Since 2001, Buick has placed its main emphasis on the production of crossovers and SUVs, which ultimately allowed it to increase the level of car sales. In 2003, the first SUV of the American brand appeared - Buick Rainier. By 2008, Buick was reducing its lineup, leaving the LaCrosse and Lucerne sedans, as well as the Enclave SUV, in the company's lineup. At this time, there was a decline in Buick car sales in the United States. In 2010, the company introduced the modernized LaCrosse sedan, made in a new corporate style. The new product managed to stir up interest in the brand, and in the same year the company showed rapid growth in the development and production of new cars, attracting a young consumer audience. In 2012, Buick released hybrid modifications of the LaCrosse and Regal models, which managed to raise the brand's image in the fight for the environment. Currently, Buick is a successful automaker producing cars in the basic premium segment.
