1957 Buick Century Convertible on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

1957 Buick Century Convertible, a real red /red car very rare but incomplete This is where the eye rolling starts and the timid lose interest. This car was a very original complete car when it was sold to the owner of a restoration facility in 1995. The facility took the car apart, completely apart and sent the body and frame to a shop for blasting and repairs. The primed frame is pretty decent from what i can see, the body shell has floor rust, some rocker rust, nice quarters, some trunk rust out, particularly in the wheel well. The car has the vin plate on the door post and the trim plate on the cowl. That plate reads 57-66c, 57-4667x,3895, 600, 1MM,bfgj. So its the real deal, a very rare color combination when red and white was popular and this is double red. So much for the good part! I have a copy of the title and the owner of the shop who bought the car promises the actual title is available in his records but i have NOT seen it yet. Hmmmm. I purchased everything as is but i have a great relationship with shop owner and he will help . The rest of the parts. A partial list of the actual parts i have which came off the car are as follows. Fenders not bad, hood, trunk, doors one dented, stainless trim, bumpers, 2 57 grilles one real nice, most if not all other chrome like headlight trim, window frames etc. Some extra chrome. Top assembly frame , steering column, wheels, many wheel covers, the entire rear end, the dash, at least the front seats, the rear interior side panels, radios, door interior panels, window glass and chrome trim and vents, tons of misc mechanical parts and trim parts. MISSING..DRIVETRAIN, WINDSHIELD,FRONT SUSPENSION. This is the right car for someone with a running 4 dr. parts car or someone who collects 57 buicks. i have a lot of nice 56 buick stuff as well but they are not in this sale.....yet. I realize this is a bizarre listing but i want to try it out and will be happy to talk to serious interested parties if it doesnt sell at auction. I really want the buyer to come see it, i will be happy to put them up if they provide info that make me and family feel secure. I would prefer to answer questions in direct emails but may struggle through them and post them. i dont expect this to be an easy process but i am praying for someone to come along who knows what this is and has the where-with-all to deal with a project of this scope. thanks to all for being understanding. |

2013 Buick Encore
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
We hear Buick is testing a Regal wagon with focus groups
Mon, Sep 26 2016Rumors about a possible Buick Regal wagon have come and gone for the past few years, and today we have another one. A friend of Autoblog recently let slip that Buick is talking with customers and running focus groups of a new car against the Acura TSX wagon and an unnamed Volvo wagon. Of course the Buick model being used in the focus groups wasn't mentioned, but the Regal is the only Buick in the lineup of comparable size and with a wagon version overseas. Plus, we've heard that Buick told dealers a wagon is in the works at a meeting a few months ago. We reached out to Buick for comment, however no details were given. A Buick spokesperson told us, "By the end of 2017, we'll be revealing three more new models for a total of seven new Buicks in just 24 months." Of the seven new models, four have been launched: the Cascada, Encore, Envision and LaCrosse. Looking at Buick's current line-up, that leaves three models that haven't been updated yet: the Enclave, Regal and Verano. This is where a Buick Regal wagon could come in. We know the Enclave is definitely getting a replacement. The large crossover market is huge and GM has a platform for it. We're also expecting a new Regal sedan to come out next year. The Verano, however, is unlikely to see another generation. If the Verano goes away, that leaves an opening for a new Buick model. Rather than another sedan, Buick probably wants more crossovers, as the company said it expects its current line-up to bring in 70 percent of its sales. It could very easily add another CUV to the line-up by giving the Regal wagon the Volvo Cross Country treatment. Raise the ride height, gird it with plastic fenders and bumpers, and give the wagon a trendy name like "Tourx" or "Regal Tourx," which the company has already trademarked, and Buick's newest crossover is ready to go. In fact, GM has effectively already done this to the Regal's German sibling, the Insignia, in the form of the Insignia Country Tourer, pictured above. In summary, a CUV-like wagon could give Buick a trendy car in a hot class for a minimal investment. It would even provide Buick with a model that has no equivalents elsewhere in the GM stable, giving the company a bit more distinction. If the company does bring us a wagon version of the Regal, we would expect to see something next year, possibly with the reveal of the normal Regal variants.
