View our eBay StoreSign up for our Newsletter 1920 Buick K44 Roadster Offered as a Buy-It-Now. Make us an offer! This very rare car is a very nice older restoration that has held up admirably, and with minor touch up and sprucing up would be ready for show time. The car runs and drives quite well with good oil pressure, very capable brakes, a smooth gearbox, and tight steering. The lovely body lines of this nickel era roadster are quite nice and one can easily see why it has been lovingly preserved for now nearly 100 years. We have many more photographs of this car, please click on any image to be taken to our full-size image list! Buick is currently the oldest still-active American automotive make, and among the oldest automobile brands in the world. It originated as the Buick Auto-Vim and Power Company in 1899, an independent internal combustion engine and motor-car manufacturer, and was later incorporated as the Buick Motor Company on May 19, 1903, by Scottish born David Dunbar Buick in Detroit, Michigan. Later that year, the struggling company was taken over by James H. Whiting who moved it to his hometown of Flint, Michigan, and brought in William C. Durant in 1904 to manage his new acquisition. Buick sold his stock for a small sum upon departure, and died in modest circumstances 25 years later. Durant was a natural promoter, and Buick soon became the largest car maker in America. Using the profits from this, Durant embarked on a series of corporate acquisitions, calling the new megacorporation General Motors. At first, the manufacturers comprising General Motors competed against each other, but Durant ended that. He wanted each General Motors division to target one class of buyer, and in his new scheme, Buick was near the top — only the Cadillac brand had more prestige. Buick occupies this position to this day in the General Motors lineup. The ideal Buick customer is comfortably well off, possibly not quite rich enough to afford a Cadillac, nor desiring the ostentation of one, but definitely in the market for a car above the norm.
