Dad was busy earning money so that the family could purchase the new Buick, which boasted 44 pounds of chromed trim. The Russians may have had working space satellites, but they had nothing like that. ~ Dave Barry

Buick (/ˈbjuːɪk/) is a division of the American automobile manufacturer General Motors (GM). Started by automotive pioneer David Dunbar Buick, it was among the first American marques of automobiles, and was the company that established General Motors in 1908. Before the establishment of General Motors, GM founder William C. Durant had served as Buick's general manager and major investor. For much of its existence in the North American market, Buick has been marketed as a premium automobile brand, selling luxury vehicles positioned above GM's mainstream brands, while below the flagship luxury Cadillac division.

  • How long will I love you?
    I don't really know
    I'd like to think forever
    Is how far we could go
    So let me paint a picture
    Of how it's gonna be
    The day you don't mean everything to me
    • Alan Jackson, "Buicks to the Moon", Everything I Love (1996), lyrics written by Alan Jackson and Jim McBride
  • When a nickel's worth a dollar
    And gold ain't worth a dime
    When they build a ship on waters
    That will take you back in time
    When the stars have all been counted
    And I stop lovin' you
    Honey, they'll be driving Buicks to the moon
    • Alan Jackson, "Buicks to the Moon", Everything I Love (1996), lyrics written by Alan Jackson and Jim McBride
  • Now you don't have to worry
    About what comes to pass
    This old world may wear out
    But my love's gonna last
    If they ever build that highway to the moon
    I'll just find something else to promise you
    • Alan Jackson, "Buicks to the Moon", Everything I Love (1996), lyrics written by Alan Jackson and Jim McBride
