Buckingham is an American-Canadian vehicle manufacturer appearing in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.
Description[]
Buckingham has a defense contract with the US government to manufacture the Valkyrie and the Pyro. It also has a factory in Canada, where the Maverick is manufactured. Buckingham may also have/had an automobile department, as its logo can be seen in the window of the Luxury Autos dealership in Los Santos. Buckingham also appears to have/had a maritime department, as it manufactures the Tug.
Influence[]
Buckingham seems to take inspiration from various North American aerospace and defense companies, primarily Bombardier Aviation, Bell Textron, as well as European companies such as Airbus and Rolls-Royce Holdings, the latter of which appears to have influenced its logo.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The company most likely takes its name from Buckingham, a town in England and the former county town of Buckinghamshire. It may also be a reference to Buckingham Palace in London, the official residence of the monarch of the United Kingdom, which was also depicted in Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 and Grand Theft Auto: London 1961.
- The company could also possibly be named after the Canadian town by the same name, since Buckingham is mentioned having a factory in Canada for the Maverick, which was originally designed for military use, but rejected for looking too 'French', the Canadian town is located in Quebec, which is a French speaking province.
