The Buick 60 Special is an early American racing car, two of which were built by Buick in 1910. It is one of the first US-built monopostos, with a single seat centered across the width of the chassis, and the car is nicknamed the Buick Bug. General Motors founder William Crapo Durant pursued motor racing for its promotional and sales value and brought the Chevrolet brothers and Bob Burman on as drivers, after the American Automobile Association's Contest Board discovered Buick entering custom-built cars.
