Buick

As one of America's oldest car brands, Buick has a long history as a premium GM marque, positioned just below Cadillac. From its founding in 1899 and its pivotal role in creating General Motors, Buick built a reputation for style, comfort, and engineering. The brand's pre-war cars are celebrated for their quality, while post-war models introduced signature styling cues like VentiPorts and the sweepspear. By the 1960s, Buick joined the muscle car wars with powerful GS models, culminating in the legendary Stage 1 455.

Collector interest in Buick is incredibly diverse, spanning over a century of production. High-end collectors chase rare, high-performance models like the 1970 GSX Stage 1 and the 1987 GNX, which command six-figure prices. Others are drawn to the style of the 1950s, with models like the Roadmaster and Skylark convertible being highly sought after. The brand's long history means there are also many affordable entry points, from 1970s personal luxury coupes to well-preserved sedans from every era.

The current market reflects this diversity. While the average sale price sits near $28,000, this figure includes everything from project cars to pristine, low-mileage examples. The top of the market is dominated by the GNX and GSX, which can exceed $275,000. Meanwhile, many post-war models and later cars from the 1980s and 90s offer an accessible way to own a piece of American automotive history, often for less than $15,000.

Based on 1,391 recent sales, prices for collectible Buicks range from under $5,000 for common models and projects to over $275,000 for top-spec variants like the GNX.
