The Abadal-Buick represented a unique collaboration between Francisco Abadal and the American automaker Buick during the late 1910s and early 1920s. Following Abadal’s success in producing luxury cars, he sought to scale up production and expand his market. Partnering with Buick allowed him to access American engineering and manufacturing resources while retaining Abadal’s European styling and craftsmanship. The Abadal-Buick models featured Buick engines and mechanical components, ranging from straight-six to V8 engines, combined with custom-built bodies designed to cater to European tastes. These cars were often described as a blend of American reliability and European elegance. The partnership produced vehicles that were powerful, dependable, and luxurious, appealing to both European and international buyers. While Buick contributed to the car’s mechanical integrity, Abadal’s involvement ensured that each vehicle retained a sense of exclusivity and refinement. Production of the Abadal-Buick ceased by the mid-1920s, but these models remain significant for demonstrating the cross-continental collaboration that helped define luxury cars during the early automotive era.
