The eponymous owner of the Buick factory had already made many inventions during his younger years including the garden sprinkler and a way to enamel coat cast iron in a cheaper way.
In the year 1890, Buick became interested in the internal combustion engine, but for the time being produced stationary engine first.
In 1902 he founded the Buick Manufactoring Company whose purpose was to build engines and automobiles.
In the meantime, he had also invented the OHV enigine that allowed higher power than the side-valved enginers in use untill now.
Buick sold his company to James Whiting who brought William Durant to run the company, and these made the Buick brand one of the largest automobile builders in the United States.
In 1908 James Whiting founded General Motors with the earned capital as a holding company above the Buick brand, and through various acquisitions General Motors grew into a large concern of more than 30 companies and acquired an excellent reputation for reliability.
This juwel in the picture is an original 1931 condition Buick Series 90 with an 8 cylinder inline engine with a displacement of 5.650 cc and an output of 104 HP at only 2.800 rpm.
It was driven by a 3 speed manual trnasmission and its top speed was a staggering 160 km/h for the time.
His road handling was excellent and there was nothing lacking in passenger safety either, for example, the car was ecquipped with a front spotlight that rotated with the steering.
The famous "Flying Lady" adorns the top of the radiator cap as Buick's mascot., and it is like a small work of art........
Just the wishful thinking is not enough … but it needs just some positive actions and – who knows – the world could be at our feet …
Wishing you a perfect week-end and that all your dreams come true!!!
The night never ceases to be filled with madness, the humans driven by fear are acting desparate and Flit grows tired of trying to educate them.
She fires three warning shots into the crowd hoping they'll give thier heads a shake and get back in the game of life.

Well,nobody has driven this classic for a good long time,but its appeal holds up pretty well.One of the ultimate of barn finds,this 1934ish Dodge Brothers 2 door sedan sits on a forgotten farm well off the highway in northwestern Illinois.Though this picture was taken 2 years ago,the old car remains and is definitely due for a revisit.
The Dodge Brothers started out making bicycles but soon turned to making quality automotive parts.They were given a 10% stake in the Ford Motor Co. which they soon sold to start their own brand of quality cars and trucks.The brothers both died unexpectantly in 1920,and in 1928,their company was sold to Chrysler....
There is a story attached to the Village i have included for interest
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-38867290
An "ugly" yellow car blamed for ruining tourists' photographs in a picturesque Cotswold village has been targeted by vandals.
The word "move" has been scratched into the bonnet of the Vauxhall Corsa, which is parked outside owner Peter Maddox's cottage in Arlington Row, Bibury.
Panels on the car have also been scratched and the driver's side window and rear windscreen have been smashed.
Mr Maddox could face a £6,000 repair bill, The Telegraph has reported.
However, the defiant 84-year-old said if the car was too expensive to repair, he would buy a replacement - in lime green.
His daughter-in-law, Marie Kraus, said: "Peter is understandably upset at the loss of his car and his independence, but he is also very fond of his lovely yellow car.
"Everyone in the village is very supportive. It is horrible to think whoever has done this has come out of their way down this little road to do something like this. It will be a struggle to get another car.

Yellow car owners have rallied in support of a vehicle blamed for ruining tourists' photographs in a picturesque Cotswold village.
A convoy of 100 cars has driven through Bibury in an act of solidarity towards Vauxhall Corsa owner Peter Maddox, 84.
Mr Maddox has come under fire for parking his car outside his cottage in Arlington Row.
Tourists have complained that it "ruins" the view and, earlier this year, the vehicle was vandalised. I don't recall seeing though 😀
Move back they say. Get more in the picture. You are way too close! I hear it all the time. “There’s no people in your pictures “ my former boss would say. What can you expect from a former high school yearbook photographer? Basically I’m a portrait photographer of inanimate objects. There is never a doubt about what the main subject is. When I encounter an object that seems to be photogenic, I treat it as if I were doing a portrait of the queen of England. Lighting, framing, perspective, etc. must all be considered of course. Call it “in your face photography” if you wish, but please don’t tell me to back up and include more context. This is my style and it is what it is. Perhaps I was ossified by having only an old Minolta film camera with the standard 50 mm. lens to work with for the first forty years of my photographic life. Seeing the world through a nifty fifty! I guess I am not very artistic after all. I never did look good in a beret.
I will beat her! I've lost to her before but not this time!
P.S What is it with mean spirited people who love to pick on the soft hearted? I read about here on Flickr and it happens in real life too. Get a life!
For the people that get picked on, I understand; It is disheartening when it happens you feel deflated and shocked but then you fight back by not changing who you are. That is the only way to win or they keep doing it because they're miserable so they want to make you just as miserable. Don't give them the power or satisfaction.
For the sociopaths; If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. The world doesn't need to hear it.
This 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT, driven by Urs and Arlette Muller, was sporting a set of black wire wheels at the Goodwood Revival instead of its usual Borrani silver set I've seen it with previously, adding a sense of menace to the car that was previously missing. It also looks like the suspension has been worked on as well, with the car sitting slightly lower than normal (although this may be the combination of wheels/offset/angle of shot that give this illusion).
I've struggled to find any information about this DB4GT, so don't know its provenance, although I think its likely to be a continuation/replica given that there were only 75 genuine DB4GT's produced, 6 of which were in the lightweight spec where aluminium was used along with some extensive drilling of solid parts and stripping of luxury items such as the radio, clock, window washer bottle and bumpers.
A number of standard DB4GT's were brought closer to the lightweight spec after they were produced, but its not clear how extensive this was in terms of fitting of aluminium panels or the drilling of the chassis members.
The DB4GT itself is shorter in the wheelbase by 5 inches compared to the regulat DB4, and features closed headlights abd the larger bonnet vent. In keeping with Aston Martins luxury ethos, the DB4GT's were still fitted with leather upholstery and wilton carpets, something I'm sure was soon replaced or removed by owners keen to further improve performance.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Captured in September 2019 during an exercise I gave to my Street Photography Workshop for them to look for different angles and perspectives as we walked around. Of course I ensured that the person begging in the shot was suitably anonymised so that the image is for narrative and is not in any way exploitative.
I'm thinking of the millions of people currently displaced across Ukraine. Over 2 million displaced out of the country but countless millions more ran out of their homes to another part of the country, all while being under artillery and rocket fire. I cannot begin to imagine the depths of pain, despair and loss that they are feeling.
I'm also thinking of those displaced and homeless throughout the United Kingdom as a result of poverty driven by the cost of living crisis and Government policy over the past decade. My own energy prices have risen 129% overnight.
I'm also thinking of those displaced out of their homes, steadings and traditional nomadic routes in Ethiopia right now. Years and years of lower than average rainfall are now leading to a famine of the levels not seen since 1985. The building humanitarian disaster is expected to be worse than that thanks, in no small part, to the climate emergency.
We all need water, food and shelter - these basics that are essential for life should be a given in our modern world.
Today I am thinking of those who have been or are being displaced from their homes. I wish I could help more.
…due to my distinct lack of inspiration/mojo over the last week or so I present my half-a$$ed attempt at photographic ‘art’.
My whelmed has never been so under…
I had driven up the hill to use the VHF and Short wave radios in my car for an evening, when I saw this sun ray in the valley below, the great shame is I did not have my camera's with me only my phone :-(
Titterstone Clee Hill ,s a well know high spot for amateur radio use due to it's height and remoteness from interference found in all modern built up area's.

Found this little dandelion on a walk and just thought to grab an image really quickly! I honestly didn't know dandelions were around in the winter.
Tell me what you think!!
It's Dandelion season again and I've been toying with this idea for a few weeks. I took a few water drop refraction shots today, for the first time. I had fun when I worked it out.
On Whit Monday, Railtraxx's 266 009-0 still in Captrain livery, drove a set of lime slurry wagons from Cologne to Antwerp. These wagons would then be driven on June 3 to Terneuzen in the Netherlands ! The wagons are intended for a new traffic that will be started soon between Terneuzen (NL) and Virton (BE).
Here the train passes in Linkhout on line 35.

The Stolpersteine (Stumbling Stones) project is an initiative of the German artist Gunter Demnig (Berlin, 1947). He places memorials in front of the homes of people who were expelled, deported, murdered or driven to suicide by the Nazis. "A man is not forgotten until his name is forgotten," he quotes the Talmud.

'Een mens is pas vergeten, wanneer zijn naam is vergeten,' citeert hij de Talmud.

We've driven past the turnoff to Devil's 4 Mile Road for years. Finally decided to take a little extra time on our way home and explore the road. This little limpid gem was one of the delights of that detour. No Devils were seen. The road is actually 4 miles long.
