 Produktbeschreibung:
This is the first
biography of David
Buick, an enigmatic
figure in automotive
history. The storied
Buick Motor Company,
which formed the
foundation for General
Motors, 'had the
management of stars,'
said legendary GM
executive Alfred P.
Sloan Jr. Indeed, early
Buick leaders included
the charismatic Billy
Durant, founder of GM;
Charles Nash, a founder
of what became American
Motors; Walter Chrysler,
founder of Chrysler
Corporation; Walter Marr,
Buick's first chief
engineer, who was
interacting with Henry
Ford before the turn of
the last century; and,
Louis Chevrolet, a Buick
racing star before
lending his name to
another Durant
enterprise.But few
remember the founder,
David Dunbar Buick,
though his name has been
emblazoned on forty
million cars over more
than a hundred years. A
native of Scotland who
was brought to Detroit
as a child, Buick is
sometimes criticized as
a hard-edged and
wrong-headed businessman
and a speculator in oil
stocks. In "David
Buick's Marvelous
Motorcar", journalist
and Buick expert
Lawrence R. Gustin tells
Buick's remarkable life
story, sure to be of
interest to auto
enthusiasts and local
historians.» mehr Infos
