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

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.

The Chevrolet Bolt is headed to China as a Buick SUV
Thu, Jan 16 2020When spy photos of what appeared to be Chevrolet Bolt EV with some minor front- and rear-end updates circulated last week, Autoblog surmised that GM was working on some sort of Bolt-based vehicle — potentially a crossover — to be sold in China as a Buick. We may just have corroboration for that theory. On Thursday, Motor1.com spotted a story published earlier this week on the Chinese site Auto Home which claims that GM has applied to sell an all-electric SUV under the Velite 7 nameplate in China. There's little differentiating the Velite 7's exterior from the Bolt EV's, apart from bumpers, badges, and a little extra ground clearance. Up front, the bowtie is replaced by a round Buick badge, and the bumper picks up an almost Prius-like appearance thanks to contrasting vertical elements and a thin grille bleeding into the head lights to give it a full-width appearance. Chevy Bolt-based prototype View 16 Photos If the Chinese report is accurate, there is one significant difference under the skin. Per the application, the Buick crossover variant is to be powered by a 174-horsepower electric powertrain. That's down 26 horsepower from the Bolt EV's powertrain, and we can't help but think that a lifted Buick variant might just need every pony it can get. The needs of the Chinese market are unique, and we're certain GM knows what it's doing if these figures are accurate. We have no reason to believe Buick plans to sell the Velite 7 EV here in the States, though we expect an updated Chevy Bolt eventually, and we wouldn't be surprised if Buick brings something along shortly to fill the void left by the departure of the Regal sedan and its variants. Related Video:
Buick could import Envision crossover from China
Fri, Nov 13 2015Reports about the Buick Envision's likely arrival in the US go back even before the midsize crossover's debut in China last year, but the brand still doesn't have a official decision about whether to bring it here. According to The Detroit News, the company is somewhat concerned about a poor consumer reaction to launching a Chinese-made model in this country. Even if Buick officials are slightly apprehensive about the public perception, the concerns might not hold back the Envision in US. An anonymous source also tells The Detroit News that the brand intends to launch the CUV early next year and wants to sell around 40,000 of them annually. However, the UAW is reportedly not happy about the possibility of a Chinese-produced model coming here. The Envision launched at the Chengdu Motor Show as a step between the compact Encore and three-row Enclave. Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with stop/start and 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Buick offers the CUV with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The interior features active noise cancellation and an eight-inch infotainment system. The Envision also seems like a natural fit for Buick in the US due to the obvious hole in its CUV lineup, and the abundant rumors suggest that the brand sees the possibilities for it. The company now needs to decide whether to take a chance here and offer a vehicle from China.
U.S. denies GM tariff relief request for China-made Buick SUV
Wed, Jun 5 2019WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has denied a General Motors Co request for an exemption to a 25 percent U.S. tariff on its Chinese-made Buick Envision sport utility vehicle. The denial of the nearly year-old petition came in a May 29 letter from the U.S. Trade Representative's office saying the request concerns "a product strategically important or related to 'Made in China 2025' or other Chinese industrial programs." The midsize SUV, priced starting at about $35,000, has become a target for critics of Chinese-made goods, including leaders of the United Auto Workers union and members in key political swing states such as Michigan and Ohio. GM said on Tuesday it was aware of the denial and has been paying the tariff since July. GM has not raised the sticker price to account for the tariff. Buick Envision sales fell in the United States by nearly 27% to 30,000 last year and fell another 21% in the first three months of 2019. Only a small number of vehicles are built in China and sold in the United States. Last month, the U.S. Trade Representative's Office also denied a request by Chinese-owned Volvo Cars for tariff exemptions for mid-size SUVs assembled in China after the automaker sought an exemption for the XC60, its top selling U.S. vehicle. GM, the largest U.S. automaker, argued in its request that Envision sales in China and the United States would generate funds "to invest in our U.S. manufacturing facilities and to develop the next generation of automotive technology in the United States." GM said last year the "vast majority" of Envisions, about 200,000 a year, are sold in China. Because of the lower U.S. sales volume, "assembly in our home market is not an option" for the Envision, which competes with such mid-size crossover vehicles as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Cadillac XT5. Ahead of the July 2018 start for higher import tariffs, GM shipped in a six-month supply of Envisions at the much lower 2.5 percent tariff rate, Reuters reported in August 2018.
