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 ; )

322ci V8 Engine (4 BBL, 236 hp)
Dynaflow Transmission (Automatic Transmission)
Power Brakes
Electric Clock

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.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 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.

The last Buick Cascada unceremoniously rolls off the assembly line

Mon, Oct 7 2019

Motorists in the market for a new Buick Cascada need to act fast. Peugeot-owned Opel has built the last example of the drop-top model in its Gliwice, Poland, factory, and there's no replacement in sight. Buick announced the Cascada's demise in early 2019, and GM Authority learned the model went out unceremoniously. There's no indication that the final example received a commemorative plaque on its dashboard, or is headed to a private collection; photos of it aren't even available. The dealership who ordered it might not know it's about to receive the last specimen of the breed. As a non-luxury, front-wheel-drive convertible, the Cascada was marooned on an island that Buick's rivals abandoned halfway through the 2010s. The Chrysler 200 Convertible and the Volkswagen Eos were discontinued after the 2014 and 2015 model years, respectively. Landing in a class of one likely raised more than a few eyebrows in Buick's product planning division, but it was a semi-enviable position that helped the firm sell about 17,000 units of the Cascada between the 2016 and 2019 model years. It proudly pointed out about 60 percent of buyers were new to General Motors. Left-hand-drive examples of the Cascada were sold under the Buick and Opel banners. Right-hand-drive models joined the Vauxhall range in the United Kingdom, and they wore a Holden emblem in Australia. The four flavors were identical with the exception of some brand-specific trim pieces and powertrains. None will get a successor; the aforementioned carmakers are no longer operating under the same roof, and the global convertible segment is steadily shrinking.Â The Cascada's multinational provenance made more sense before General Motors sold its Opel and Vauxhall divisions to PSA Groupe, the Paris-based carmaker that owns Peugeot, Citroen and DS. The French firm pledged to keep producing cars for Buick for as long as necessary, but the former sister companies tacitly agreed to stop co-developing vehicles. The sedan and station wagon variants of the Regal are now the only Opel-designed, PSA-built model left in the the Buick portfolio.
