At first glance, this quiz seems simple—but many people get it wrong because several of these brands have been around for more than a century.
So, which one has one of the longest histories in the United States?
Let’s look at each option.
A. Ford
Ford Motor Company was founded by Henry Ford on June 16, 1903.
Ford revolutionized the automotive industry by introducing the moving assembly line, making cars affordable for millions of Americans. The legendary Model T became one of the most influential vehicles in history.
Today, Ford remains one of America’s largest and most recognizable automakers.
B. Buick ✅
Buick is one of the oldest active automobile brands in the world.
Founded in 1899 by David Dunbar Buick, the company actually predates Ford, Chevrolet, and many other famous manufacturers.
In 1908, Buick became one of the founding brands of General Motors (GM).
For more than 125 years, Buick has continued producing vehicles, making it one of the longest-running American car brands still in operation.
C. Toyota
Toyota was founded in 1937 in Japan.
Although Toyota is now one of the world’s largest automakers and has a massive presence in the United States, it is not an American brand and has a much shorter history than Buick or Ford.
D. Chevrolet
Chevrolet was founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant.
It quickly became one of America’s most popular car brands and has produced iconic vehicles like the Corvette, Camaro, and Silverado.
However, Chevrolet was founded after both Buick and Ford.
