Buick
In 1984, Buick was the official car of the XXIII Olympiad. A reorganization split manufacturing & engineering from sales and marketing. The first pilot Buick is produced at "Buick City", a state-of-the art assembly center built inside the walls of Buick's home plant at Flint. Buick had its best model year sales to date with 906,626 vehicles sold plus Buick worldwide sales topped one million for the first time. To close out 1984, Lloyd Reuss ended his tenure as general manager of the Buick Motor Division.
Bewick (surname)
The logo used on the Buick automobile is said to be derived from the ancient Buik coat of arms, as located in an 1851 edition of "Burke's General Armory" during the 1930s by General Motors researcher Ralph Pew. The coat of arms was described as "a red shield with a checkered silver and azure (blue) diagonal line running from the upper left corner to lower right, an antlered deer head with a jagged neckline in the upper right corner of the shield and a gold cross in the lower left corner. The cross had a hole in the center with the red of the shield showing through." A search today of "Burke's General Armory" shows no such entry for Buik, nor for Buick, so if the article existed in an 1851 edition, the editors have subsequently removed it.
