Queensland Historical Motoring Council Inc, who with our and other Motoring clubs are actively combatting government pressure and regulations, which could seriously limit the operations of the vintage and specialist vehicle movement in years to come.

Meetings Members of the Buick  Car Club enjoy a great social atmosphere with the motor car as the focus. As a member you will have the opportunity to enjoy the company of fellow Buick owners, as the Club has monthly runs and/or regular meetings.  Meetings are sometimes held in conjunction with runs around the South East Queensland area.  Details of these runs are advised to members in our monthly magazine, through the Website, emailed notices and Facebook .  You and your guests are cordially invited to attend. Whilst it is not compulsory to attend any run or meeting, members are encouraged to attend at least one run or meeting a year (distance permitting) in order to promote fellowship within the Club. As well as monthly runs, Club activities include pre war, modified Buick runs, the Buick Car Show and the annual Christmas  Party lunch.

Club Magazine On joining the club you will receive the Club Journal “The Buick News” by mail or pdf, published monthly except in January.  The January journal is a register of Club vehicles Australia wide.  This magazine is published in co-operation with our associated N.S.W. and W.A. Clubs and covers their news as well. The magazine contains articles on restoration, coming events, reports on activities, interstate news, meeting minutes, member contributions etc. as well as for sale and wanted advertisements for cars and parts and trade and supplier advertisements. Advertisements for cars and parts are inserted free of charge to members, and your contribution of articles will be appreciated.

Information and Library One of the great benefits of joining the Club is for the access to information on Buicks. Collectively members have a wealth of knowledge, particularly on restoring cars, which they are only too happy to share with each other.  The club is a great forum for exchanging ideas on vehicle restoration and often Club members will assist each other finding those hard to get parts or services. The Club maintains an extensive library of manuals and technical information for your car, which is generally available free of cost or cost of copying.  Additionally reproduction Workshop Manuals and other publications are available for sale. Other Buick Clubs or Registers are in New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, U.S.A., Canada, England and New Zealand.  The Queensland Club has Journals from some of these Clubs in the library.
