GM pays tribute to Buick M18 Hellcat tank on V-E Day
DETROIT- This month marks the 110th anniversary of General Motors Co.’s Buick brand.
In recognition of that milestone, the Detroit-based automaker is highlighting parts of the brand’s famed history, including its brief stint as a tank producer during World War II.
In February 1942, the last civilian car left a Buick facility before full attention was placed on engineering and producing aircraft engines, ammunition and the M18 tank destroyer, better known as the Hellcat.
The Hellcat, which weighed about 20 tons, was designed to be one of fastest tanks on the battlefield and was capable of traveling upwards of 60 mph. Its power came from a nine-cylinder, 450-horsepower radial-type aircraft engine paired with a three-speed Hydramatic transmission.
“The Hellcat was considered the hot rod of World War II,” said Bill Gross, a historian who restored an M18 now on display at the Sloan Museum in Flint. “To give perspective, most German tanks of the day were capable of just 20 mph and even today’s M1 Abrams tank is outpaced by the Hellcat.”
Today is the 68th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, also known as V-E Day, to mark the date when the World War II allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Nazi Germany. It also marks the Hellcat's 70th anniversary.
The M18 and Hellcat logo originated in the design studio of Harley Earl, whose team also worked extensively on early camouflage paint.
The logo, flanked by the words “Seek, Strike, Destroy,” depicts a wildcat biting down on crushed treads, signifying the Hellcat’s mission of targeting enemy tanks.
Buick engineers brought the Hellcat to life from the design team’s sketches and developed an innovative torsion bar suspension that provided a steady ride, according to GM.
Production of the M18 Hellcat began in mid-1943 and ended in October 1944. The project was so secretive that a story about the “new” tank destroyer ran in newspapers just a month before production ended.
In addition to 2,507 M18 tank destroyers, Buick factory workers produced nearly 20,000 power-trains, a half-million cartridge cases, 9.7 million 20-mm shells, and a number of other war goods during WWII. Source: mlive.com

Buick Picks its Top 11 Since 1903
Buick is celebrating its 110th birthday by selecting 11 automotive highlights from its long history.
It may sound hard to believe for some at first, but Buick has been in the car-building business for 110 years. Despite being a successful money-making brand today, the first Buick was hand-built in a small barn behind founder David Dunbar Buick’s home in Detroit, Michigan, way back in 1903. To mark the historic occasion, the American automaker has chosen 11 of what it feels are its most important and game-changing models - one for each decade it's been in business - in this nice photo montage.
Some of those chosen models include the 1904 Model B, the 1936 Century (which was the first Buick to top 100 mph), the 1963 Riviera, the 1987 GNX and the 1938 Y-Job, which Buick claims to be the world’s first concept car and was styled by legendary designer Harvey Earl.
