Buick became a corporation back in 1903 back on May 19. It eventually became a major General Motors brand with some great cars in the 60 and 70 like the A bodies GSX, the Wild Cat, and the Grand National.
I got the Goodyear Blimp taking its first flight on May 22, 1929. Still provides some of the best auto racing coverage!!!
In an earlier Auto Factoid we talked about Walter P. Sloan of GM fame, well he has a birthday coming up this week. May 23 back in 1875 he was born in New Haven Conn.
Thanks for reading.
