Canada

The name Buick is important in Canada as McLaughlin, an important horse-drawn vehicles manufacturer, first ventured into car manufacturing with an agreement with Buick to buy their motors and build the rest of the Buick cars in Canada. In 1918, this company became General Motors of Canada. It is a good example of a car bought by a Canadian.

Function

Owner-driven passenger vehicle for general transportation.

Technical

The new series 90 was introduced in 1931 and featured the first Buick straight-eight engine, developed by Buick to rival other companies that already offered straight eight engines. It was used in the advertising campaign to arouse consumers interest. Unfortunately, as the price was raised and the effects of the depression were still present, the car was not a huge success. There were no major changes in design except an 8 being written on the radiator cap Syncro-mesh transmission was also introduced in Buick series 90 cars that year.
