A Hellcat Tank Destroyer (Hellcat Tank Destroyer details) built by Buick during World War II is also on display. Our automobiles occasionally travel for short-term special exhibits.

Buick Gallery & Research Center has something for everyone! Visitors can relax with an old glass bottle Coke® at the 1940s soda fountain of Mackenzie's Drug Store; pose for a photograph behind the wheel of the Museum's climb-on car, a 1917 Buick Touring; or observe Museum staff and volunteers as they work on our automotive collection in our new vehicle conservation and restoration shop.
