This is not a Buick model, as Buick Marquette implies, but a make controlled by Buick, and offered only in 1929-1930. This concept was patterned after Oakland's success with the Pontiac marque (Pontiac never was a Oakland model). Similar makes were LaSalle (by Cadillac), and Viking (by Oldsmobile). This category name should be changed to Marquette by Buick, as there was an another GM pioneer make named Marquette around 1910.
This Marquette died because of the market crash in 1929, internal resistance, and lost market niche when all Buicks became Eights in 1930.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 11:34, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
