I was expecting an AAWWOOOGAHHH

In 1910, Buick reigned supreme as the best-selling automaker in America, proving that high-performance engineering could capture the heart of the burgeoning car market.

The brand’s success was driven by the innovative “Valve-in-Head” engine design, which provided significantly more power and efficiency than the standard engines of the era.

While the popular Model 10 “White Streak” challenged the Ford Model T for dominance, larger models like the 16 and 17 established Buick’s reputation for luxury and durability.

This massive sales volume provided the vital financial lifeline necessary to save General Motors from collapse during a period of intense corporate instability.

Between the racing pedigree of the Model 10 and the sophisticated overhead valve design, do you think Buick’s focus on performance is what ultimately allowed them to outshine Ford’s focus on affordability during that year?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
