The Buick Club of America
The Buick Club of America was founded in Los Angeles, California in early 1966 and has since grown to become an international club with over 9000 members. The original purpose of the club was to encourage the maintenance, restoration and preservation of all models of Buicks and to promote fellowship of Buick enthusiasts. This has been expanded in recent years to include modified Buicks as well. You do not need to own a Buick to be a member, you just need an appreciation for the Buick automobile and it's heritage.
