Marquette Hubcap, 1929-1930
01
Artifact Overview
Buick Motor Car Company built the Marquette from 1929 to 1931. It bridged the price gap between Buick and Oldsmobile. Nicknamed the "Baby Buick," Marquette's introduction into the market was ill-fated. With the onset of the Great Depression and the vehicle cutting into Oldsmobile sales, General Motors executives ended the brand.
