Durant also created a racing team that won
500
racing
trophies
in
1909 and
19
10,
including successes at
Indianapolis two years before the Indy
500
began.
The success of Buick engines was visible
not
only
on
the race track, but in endurance tests across the country
and around the world. Buick was the only car
to
complete a 1,000-mile Chicago-to-New York race
in
1906. And a Buick was the first car
to
travel across
South America, driven from Buenos Aires, Argentina,
over the Andes
to
Santiago, Chile in 19
14.

Touring
Car
on
Buick’s
Test
Hill
Buick drew plenty of attention because it could climb
hills and run through mud like
no
other car. Buick’s
endurance and reliability were world famous.
During World War
I,
Buick built Liberty aircraft engines
as
well as Red Cross ambulances
so
successful that one
Buick ambulance was awarded the Croix de Guerre by
the French government.
As
a builder
of
premier automobiles, Buick was hard
hit
by the Great Depression. However, new General
Manager, Harlow H. Curtice created popular new
models including
the
Special and the Roadmaster. Buick
sales soon flourished.
