The Murray car was a light runabout on similar lines to the Curved Dash Oldsmobile, built by a former Olds engineer. The Murray car had a 6hp single-cylinder water-cooled engine, epicyclic gearbox and single chain drive. About 1.000 Murray cars were produced before the makers turned to a larger car, the Lenawee.
The Murray Eight with its V8 motot and Rolls-Royce style of radiator, was a prestige car of the World War 1 period and the Murray car sold at a reasonable price and had an enviable clientele of owners and enthusiasts. The Murray cars featured both an electric clock and a slanted windshield as early as 1917.

The Marquette was an American Automobile built by The Buick Motor Car Co. in Flint, Michigan from 1929 to 1931. It was introduced as a new smaller Buick and designed to bridge the price gap between Buick and Oldsmobile.
In the late 1920s there was a trend toward companion cars. In 1925 Nash introduced the Ajax-Nash, in 1927 Overland began production of the Whippet and that same year REO introduced the Wolverine. Cadillac brought out the LaSalle and Studebaker produced the Erskine. So on June 1, 1929 Buick introduced the Marquette at Buick dealers.
