When Durant took over Buick in 1904, only 37 cars had been built. By 1906 he had sold over 200 cars, with 4,641 sold in 1907 and 8,820 in 1908. Sales rose to 14,606 cars for 1909, then doubling again in 1910. David Buick sold his stock and departed in 1908. At the same time, Durant would use Buick as his base to form General Motors. By the close of 1908, GM would include Oakland and Oldsmobile, along with Buick.
In 2010, this Model G was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $60,000 - $80,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $49,500 including buyer's premium.

The Buick Model G was produced from 1906 to 1909, though only six examples of the Model G were built for 1909. The Model F and Model G were nearly identical except the Model F was a Tourer while the Model G was a two-seat roadster version. The running gear was identical and pricing for the F was set at $1250 while the Roadster was $100 less. Power was from a two-cylinder 159 cubic-inch engine that delivered 22 horsepower. There was a 2-speed planetary transmission with mechanical brakes on two wheels.
