Unless you have a very literal vanity plate, it's not every day you can get behind the wheel of something with your name emblazoned on it. However, one Illinois resident has managed to do just that – and he didn't even have to change his plates. Giving into years of pressure, Kevin Buick recently traded in his old model to purchase a vehicle baring his namesake, according to General Motors.

The decision was not a hard one for Buick. The Sycamore, Illinois, attorney, felt it was time for him to trade in his Subaru Outback and he decided to pick up a Buick Verano, one of the manufacturer's latest models. While it is certainly not uncommon to see somebody named Ford, any Buicks out there are far and few between.

"With my name, I've been asked if I drive a Buick for as long as I remember," Kevin said. "But the cars were never right for me. The Verano, though, is truly perfect in every way that I ask of a car. It honestly feels like it was made just for me, so it’s amusing that I get to step over my name embossed in the sill plate every time I get into my car.

Perhaps most intriguing is that Buick's name actually can be traced back to the founder of the brand David Dunbar Buick, though he is a distant relative.
