1955 Buick Century

This beautiful 1955 Buick was purchased with the intention of showing it this up-coming car show season, but it doesn't appear myself or my family will be showing this one as much as we would like. Therefore, I would like to give someone else an opportunity to own this car great car.

These cars are known by many as the 'Hot Rod' Buick, as it has the same wheelbase and body as the lower-priced Special series, but with added trim, amenities, and the higher horsepower Roadmaster engine (signified by the fourth "port hole" on the side) ... The model name came about with Buick's first 1936 Century model, named for its ability to cruise 100 mph.

This car always draws a crowd at the shows & cruise-ins, gets long stares on the road, and long conversations at the gas pump! This will be a good investment and a fun car for the next owner. Should win a trophy at all of your local car shows ; )

Details/Features:

322ci V8 Engine (4 BBL, 236 hp)
Dynaflow Transmission (Automatic Transmission)
Power Brakes
Electric Clock
Deluxe Radio
Day/Night Mirror
Windshield Washer
Factory 12 Volt Electrical System
New Coker WWW Tires
Recent service, check up, etc.

This Buick was treated to a light cosmetic restoration a few years back, but had a complete mechanical restoration about 3 years ago. It was an original survivor for many years. Had only two owners between 1955-2011 ... There is a lot of good looking original chrome, great body, etc. The paint job looks very good from any respectable distance and the underside of the car is nice as well. There may be a few driving chips/polishing scratches/flaws due to age/driving, but as you can see, it looks great. The interior is beautiful and has almost no evidence of age/wear at all. Lots more money spent on this car than the reserve price.

The engine idles very well, makes great power, and starts easy every time (also sounds great!). The transmission also operates well. The car gets down the road and will flow with modern traffic effortlessly. All the gauges, lights, and horn work. Everything works. Clock and radio too! It drives about as close to a brand new one as you will find. Overall, it's a sharp looking and driving Buick and you'd be hard pressed to find another one like it!

I welcome inspections and appraisers. Shown by appointment.

Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.

Buick Avenir will be made...as a trim level instead of a car

Fri, Sep 30 2016

Almost two years after Buick showed the gorgeous Avenir concept, the company announced the Avenir name will reach production. Specifically, it will be a top-tier trim level for 2018 model year Buicks. It's taking a page from GMC's Denali, Lincoln's Black Label, and, well, plenty of examples of extra-fancy sauce. This is disappointing news for fans of the concept, but they can take solace in the fact that the Avenir's good looks are starting to rub off on production Buicks, such as the new LaCrosse. For those interested in what this new Avenir trim will bring to the table, it's a similar formula to what many other auto brands are doing. Buick specifically compares Avenir with the Denali trim for GMC. Models with the trim will get a special 3D mesh grille inspired by the Avista concept, large wheels and unique trim finishes outside. Inside, Avenir models will receive a nicer interior, which Buick generically described as having "unique seat details" and "modern trim materials." Cars equipped with the package will also get a smattering of Avenir badges. Avenir looks like a win-win: interested buyers get some extra cachet and bragging rights and Buick gets to load high-profit options on it cars and SUVs. Buick's inspiration for the Avenir trim is a bit strange, though. The company says it is "inspired by Buick's evolving customer base," which includes women and owners of competing products. Apparently both groups are buying Buicks in greater numbers, and the company also says that many of their customers opt for the most expensive trims. While it seems straightforward to tailor a package for luxury-seeking buyers, we're not sure what would make a package specifically appeal to women and people with competitors' vehicles. That being said, Buick isn't as patronizing as Cosmopolitan was with its car. In fact, quite the opposite. With Avenir, Buick is cashing in on new customers that willing to pay for luxury plain and simple, without any pandering. Related Video: Auto News Buick Luxury denali buick avenir

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
