A Look Back...
The first Buick Plant in the City of Flint was located on Kearsley Street just west of Stevenson. Constructed in September 1903, engine production began in December of that year and established the city of Flint as one of the first areas in the country to produce automotive components. Although most cars on the road today employ the same basic combustion engine produced by plants like this, hybrid vehicles are gaining a foothold in the automotive world and could potentially help reduce U.S. dependency on foreign oil imports in the coming years.
