In 1954 Buick Roadmaster and Super shared with Cadillac and Oldsmobile 98 the new General Motors
C-body, adopting the new "ponton" appearance, and the addition of "Dagmar bumpers" to the front.

Texas Calssic Cars Of Dallas is very happy to present this very nice example of a 1956 Buick Roadmaster, restored not too many years ago.

These were large, roomy cars, as much as five and a half inches longer in wheelbase and more
than nine inches (229 mm) longer overall than in 1953. Roadmaster script was found on the rear
quarters and within the deck ornament. Rear fenders had a blunted fin at the rear edge, with dual
"bullet" taillamps below.

The paint shows very well on the car, and the bumpers appear to have been rechromed during restoration.

A new panoramic windshield with vertical side pillars was used. Seats had chrome bands on 2-door models and rear seats had an armrest on 4-door models. The front suspension was refined and Roadmaster'shorsepower was increased to 200. The pillared coupe and the Estate wagon were no longer offered as body styles. Overall sales dropped to 50,600.

In 1955 broad lower rear fender bands, gold-colored Roadmaster deck script and hood ornament,
bars on the hubcaps and gold-accented grille were added to distinguish Roadmaster. Horsepower
jumped to 236, and a new variable-pitch Dynaflow, in which the stator blades changed pitch under
hard acceleration, provided quicker off-the-line getaway. Back up lights were now standard.
Overall sales were 64,500.

The Buick was purchased originally at one of the local Vandergriff dealerships here in Dallas, and still maintains it's original logo.

In 1956 Roadmaster had a shallower Sweepspear that did not dip all the way to the rocker panel
as on other models. Twin chrome strips graced the decklid with Roadmaster spelled out between
them. Roadmaster script now appeared on the doors beneath the vent windows. Fender tip dual
bombsights were standard. Two stator wheels were adopted as an improvement to Dynaflow. A brand
new 4-door Riviera hardtop, proved to be the most popular Roadmaster, with 24,770 units sold and
outselling the pillared sedan by more than two-to-one. Overall sales were 53,500. A padded dash
became standard.

These great old Buicks were called Roadmonsters for a reason. The curb weight on one was 4400-4600 lbs.

The interior was redone to be close to original, with some modifications. It is done in a nice combination of red and black.

The speedometer is not working, as well as a few of the gauges. These are all original gauges and the owner wanted to keep it that way. Most of these will need rebuilding or replacing.

Under the hood is the correct 322 ci Nailhead V-8 that was standard to the 56. We don't know if it's the original engine. It is connected to the 2 speed Dynaflow transmission.

The factory a/c is working.

The undercarriage is solid and in very good condition. The suspension was rebuilt before the current owner purchased the car.

Buick confirms 2017 Encore for New York Auto Show

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Buick will unveil the refreshed 2017 Encore at the New York Auto Show in March, company spokesperson Stuart Fowle tells Autoblog. The brand isn't ready to divulge info about the updated compact crossover, but a recent revision to the Encore's European platform-mate, the Opel Mokka (above), might provide hints about what to expect. "While we have no additional details to announce, we're excited to confirm that media and customers will see the new 2017 Encore at next month's New York Auto Show. The Encore joins the Cascada convertible, Envision crossover, and LaCrosse sedan as the fourth new product arriving in Buick showrooms this year," Fowle said to Autoblog. Expect the 2017 Encore to have its own twist on the the Mokka's (now called the Mokka X) exterior styling, and spy shots hint the Buick has a new front end with a smaller grille. The Encore could benefit from the Opel's redesigned dashboard, which integrates the infotainment system into the center stack. It's a very attractive change, and we hope to see the switch in the US. The Mokka X also gets improved safety tech. The German compact CUV now sports adaptive LED headlights that adjust to traffic. US law doesn't allow these intelligent parts, but the Encore might get dumber LED lights. The Opel's improved front-mounted camera also increases the traffic sign detection rate. The Mokka X is available with the updated powertrain from the Encore Sport Touring, so there might not be any engine upgrades for the Buick. Buick needs to keep the Encore fresh, as the compact CUV is the brand's best selling model. It delivered 67,549 of them in 2015, a 38.2-percent jump over the previous year. The popularity continued into January 2016 with 4,920 deliveries – up 42 percent. Related Video:

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.
