Wow Today I Have for your consideration a stunning 1957 Buick Estate Wagon, this car is equipped with a 364 V8 nail head, backed by a switch pitch automatic transmission, which all have been rebuilt / restored and are in perfect working order. The paint on this car is in very reasonable condition for its age. It has some lacquer checking but it just adds to the authenticity of the car making it seem like a true survivor for 1957. The chrome on this car is in outstanding condition with what I would believe to have been show chrome finish, very nice. Many dollars spent on the chrome refinishing. The body condition is very straight, with no body damage, that I can find. I have checked the car though ally since my owner ship of some 5 years and have found no previous or present rust issue of any kind. The floor pans are rust free and clean. The interior is in excellent condition through out showing no signs of wear, as is the headliner. Radio works just fine once it warms up tube you know. All Gauges work correctly. The speedo quite working over the winter don't know the issue with it. All windows are in great shape and work correctly. The engine runs great starts right up every time, transmission shifts correctly, no howls or wines out of the rear end. Brakes and steering components are all in great shape and work correctly as they should. I might ad the person that restored this car was the president of the Buick Club of America. This car also completed the Great American Race. This car would be a nice addition to any collection or just make a great weekend cruiser for the person who wants a Buick Wagon. Check the photos out as they speak for themselves. This car is for sale locally and may be withdrawn at any time. I encourage you to stop by and inspect this car yourself or your inspector because seeing is believing. I will help with shipment over seas, I can take to a seaport for your convenience for a small fee. I will Ship the car to Buffalo N.Y. or Detroit MI. Area For transport through out the USA. For a small fee. Theres a small broker fee of $375.00 to have the paperwork done correctly so this car can be registed in any state with ease. I am easy to work with and I am willing to help any way I can to make this an easy transaction. If I haven't said this before this car drives just like it would have when it was brand new in 1957. If you really wish I would drive this car to your front door for the price of fuel, expenses, and plane ticket home for me and my friend. That's how confident I am in this car. Truly is a nice example. Want more pictures just ask. Will consider trades???????? |

Reuss says Cadillac CT6-based Buick could happen
Wed, Apr 15 2015Could the upcoming Cadillac CT6 and its Omega platform spawn a Buick variant? According to General Motors' product chief Mark Reuss, it could potentially be in the cards, but "not yet." "We're working on that," Reuss told Automotive News at the 2015 New York Auto Show. While there hasn't been a large, rear-drive Buick on dealerships since the Roadmaster in 1996, the company gave a big hint that it could head in that direction with the Avenir Concept, shown earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show. As Automotive News explains, a rear-drive Omega-platform Buick could be a real hit in China, where consumers buy 13 Buicks for every one Cadillac. That move would be a big help to GM's bottom line, too, as it'd significantly increase the Omega platform's economy of scale. If a large Buick based on the CT6 were to head to China, though, it likely wouldn't be a simple case of badge engineering (thank God). Reuss hinted to Automotive News that while the mixed-material construction of the CT6 platform "is very flexible," doing an "identical version of that platform or not is a different conversation." What are your thoughts? Should Buick adopt the Omega platform for an Avenir-based sedan? Should that vehicle be sold here in the US, or should it be a China-only offering? Have your say in Comments.

Junkyard Gem: 1978 Buick Electra 225
Wed, Dec 21 2016The Buick Electra was a big, plush, dignified land yacht for the 1959 through 1976 model years, but certain events in the middle 1970s, coupled with increasing sales of imported cars, convinced The General that a weight-loss program would help Electra sales. For the 1977 model year, the big Buick became 11 inches shorter and shed close to 900 pounds. Sales took off. Most of these cars are gone now, but I was able to find this faded '78 in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service yard a few weeks back. Just to be clear, the Buick Electra in the iconic Sir Mix-a-Lot video, My Hooptie, is a 1969 model. That car was much bigger and more powerful than today's Junkyard Gem. This car has the optional Oldsmobile 403-cubic-inch V8 engine under the hood, which was good for 185 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. This is the same type of engine that was badged as a 6.6-liter plant in the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am of Smokey and the Bandit fame, and GM's mix-and-match games with engines from different divisions went on to cause great disgruntlement among buyers who wanted a Buick engine in a Buick. The silver-faced gauges were pretty cool-looking by late-1970s standards. The interior is standard-issue Detroit luxury car for the era: much vinyl, many molded-in fake stitches, plenty of not-trying-very-hard-to-look-real "wood." These cars rode very comfortably and looked sharp, so who cared if the interiors were plasticky? According to Glenn Ford, the '78 Electra carried on an ancient tradition of Buick luxury.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.
