History of the Buick Heritage Alliance

The Buick Heritage Alliance, Inc. (BHA) was incorporated in the State of Ohio in 2005 as a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit corporation and has received its recognition from the IRS as a charitable institution. It is therefore eligible to receive donations of money, automobiles, literature, memorabilia or artwork, which are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Filling a need for those who have an interest in preserving Buick history, heritage, and the automobiles produced and sold by the Buick Motor Company since its inception in 1903, is an active goal of the BHA.

The BHA regularly works to promote Buick related displays at various museums around the country. The Buick Heritage Alliance also maintains an online research archive and a physical research archive located at the AACA Library & Research Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The BHA is not affiliated with the General Motors Corporation but maintains a close cooperative relationship with Buick nationally.
