The Buick Model B was Buick's first model as an independent company, which later became part of General Motors in 1908. It was built in Jackson, Michigan. A Model B was exhibited in 1905 at the New York Auto Show as a promotion of the Model C, which would be the same. William C. Durant introduced the car himself at the exhibit and took new car orders at the show, raising sales from 37 cars in 1904 to 750 in 1905. It had a two-cylinder, horizontally opposed engine, the world's first production overhead valve engine.
