Introduction:-

The Queensland Branch of the Buick Car Club of Australia was formed in 1975

The Clubs current postal address is :- P.O. Box 383 Cleveland, Qld. 4163 Australia.

Any person with an interest in the restoration and preservation of Buick Motor cars is invited to join. It is not necessary to own a Buick to be a member.

All years and models are catered for and members cars range from early models to modern Buicks which in some cases are driven daily.

We are affiliated with the Queensland Combined Council of Historic Vehicles Clubs Inc. This organisation, in conjunction with the various individual Clubs, actively combats Government pressure and regulations which could seriously limit the operations of the Vintage and Specialist motor vehicle movement in years to come.

Objectives of the Club;

Taken from the Constitution the objectives are;

• To form groups of owners of Buick built vehicles, irrespective of the year of manufacture, and enthusiasts of Buick built vehicles.
• To collect and disseminate as widely as possible information relative to Buick built vehicles and/or productions
• To encourage the collection and restoration of Buick built vehicles
• To promote and encourage safe and courteous driving techniques
• To promote and encourage proper maintenance techniques
• To establish libraries to contain all available literature relative to Buick products particularly early models
• To affiliate with kindred bodies
• To extend Club Membership
• To protect the interests of the Club and its members generally and to do all such things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above aims and objectives.

Meetings

Members of the Buick Car Club enjoy a great social atmosphere with the motor car as the focus .  As a member you will have the opportunity to enjoy the company of fellow Buick owners , as the Club has monthly runs and/or regular monthly meetings.

Meetings are usually held in conjunction with runs around the South Queensland Area.  Details of these runs are advised to members in our monthly magazine or through mailed notices and now on this Website and you and your guests are cordially invited to attend.  While it is not compulsory to attend any run or meeting, members are encouraged to attend at least one run or meeting a year ( distance permitting) in order to promote fellowship within the Club.

As well as monthly Runs /Meetings , Club activities include Runs , Rallies, a Car Show/Swap Meet and an annual Christmas Party Lunch.

There is also a bi-annual National Buick Meet involving all interstate Buick Clubs and a bi-annual Queensland /New South Wales Interstate meet.

Club Magazine

On joining the Club you will receive the monthly Club Magazine  " The Buick News" by mail  except for January when the Magazine is a Register of Buick Club members across Australia and their vehicles.  This magazine is published in co-operation with our asscociated NSW and WA Clubs and covers their news as well.   The magazine contains articles on Restoration, Coming Events, Reports on activities, Interstate News, Meeting Minutes, Member Contributions, etc as well as For Sale and Wanted Adverts for cars and parts and trade and supplier advertisements.

Advertisements for cars and parts are inserted free of charge to members and your contribution of articles will be appreciated.

With the introduction of this Website we are now able to publish material here as well.

Information and Library

One of the great benefits of joining the Club is for the access to information on Buicks.  Collectively members have a wealth of knowledge particularly on restoring cars which they are only too happy to share with each other.  The Club is a great forum for exchanging ideas on vehicle restoration and often Club Members will assist each other finding those hard to get parts or services.

The Club maintains an extensive Library of Manuals and technical information for your car which is generally available at a very nominal cost for photocopying of selected pages, or reproduction Workshop Manuals and other publications are available for sale.

Other Buick Clubs or Registers are in New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, USA , Canada, England and New Zealand.
