This auction is for three cars and they all are 1936 Buicks. One is a model 66c four passenger century 2 door convertible coupe with rumble seat, one is a model 48 five passenger special 2 door victoria coupe with built in trunk, and the other one is a model 61 five passenger century 4 door with built in trunk. I have clear N.D. titles for the convertible and sedan, the four door I think would only be good for parts because the passenger side is all rotten. I have had the convertible in storage for the last 17 years and have decided it's time to part with these projects. Production figures for the convertible were 717 made with 49 of those exported, my guess would be that there are only a handful of these left. I believe all the main metal parts are there for the convertible top along with a few extra metal pieces added over the years. I pulled the motor out of the convertible and I still have it but it would be only for parts because of a major crack from being frozen. Now realize these all need major work, have wood in the doors so the wood has dried up and where the metal hinges attach to the wood it's (wood) loose or gone completely. The center metal hinge on the hoods are also broke. You can move the convertible around with man power or a rope (rolling chassis). As you can see in the pictures, over the years I have picked up a lot of extra parts including but not limited too extra interior door handles and window hardware, a nos grille, this is not as nice as an original because it's cast aluminum but still nice and other misc items. I also have the cars for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early and you can call with any questions 701-837-7907 and scammers don't waste your time or mine. Only bid if you are serious, and if you do buy these and there is something you don't want your are welcome to leave it, I'll take care of it. I will load for free but you have to work with me because I might be busy trucking, don't worry about getting these moved right away, they can stay here for a while, no problem. These are located at Minot, N.D Key words: 36 buick convertible 36 buick special 1936 buick century rag top roadster street rod vintage original fixer upper needs work needs repair

Hey all, I found I had another rear-end here, I don't remember if it was with the two door or the four door?? probably be the same? I also found a nice set of trunk hinges.

Here's a little interesting statement I found online: In 1936 Buick renamed its entire model line-up in Celebration of it's improvements and advancements from the earlier model years. The Buick Century was born in 1936 as it took the place of the Series"60" model. The new Buick Century was created by combining the shorter wheelbase. Buick Special with the eight-cylinder engine and a better higher performance caused the Century to soon be nicknamed "the banker's hotrod" as it was one of the fastest Buick’s of it's era in the late 30's. 1936 Buick Century

Hi, A potential buyer pointed out that maybe all the parts for the convertible top are not here. It looks like maybe (from the pictures he sent) that one bow is missing and like a flat piece on each side is missing. I wil include everything I have for the cars but please realize you are buying what you see, less trees, land, and other none car related items of course. This same person said they used the same top from 1936 to 1942.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Jay Leno finds no detail neglected on Icon's Derelict 1948 Buick Super
Wed, Apr 1 2015Jonathan Ward seems to have one of the greatest jobs in the world. As the CEO at Icon, he's in charge of not only the company's fantastic trucks but its Derelict series of semi-restored classics, as well. Ward's vehicles are no strangers to Jay Leno's Garage, but the latest guest on the show might be one of Icon's coolest yet. What looks like a 1948 Buick Super Convertible on the outside hides the supercharged heart of a Corvette ZR1 underneath. Like the rest of the Derelict series, this old Buick's toasted paint and pitted chrome are all part of the charm of the car, and it's really a case of beauty being more than skin deep. The Super rides on a custom chassis and suspension to make the convertible a far better driver than even a pristine original example. Plus, Ward hides all sorts of modern upgrades inside that are practically invisible until he points them out. Leno absolutely falls in love with driving the Derelict Buick. If his enthusiasm grabs you, the video below from Ward goes much deeper into the build process of this awesome project.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
