Hemet, California, United States
1961 Buick Electra 225 convertible. California car since new. stored in garage past 25 years. This car came factory with this white and red color combination. This is about one of the last dream car designed Space Aged looking Buick's. Not excited about selling this one but, limited indoor space and little time for it. I haven't seen a better unrestored example, you will have a hard time finding another one. Body is straight, appears original paint (except older so-so dent repair left front fender), floors are excellent, I repainted interior floors hence; ready for new carpet! Chrome and stainless is all nice, front bumper need light straightening. Left grill has some small damage but, NOS grill in trunk along with other spare parts. Glass is all good except windshield is cracked. Power windows all work good, and should work even better after servicing. Emblems are all there intact. Red leather original interior, needs redoing but, all there for patterns. Door panels all there. Nice steering wheel. Top needs new convertible top canvas. Power top not currently working. Ignition key and trunk key missing however, ignition is unlock position so key not required to start. I have rear speaker grill mesh panel. 401 engine runs good, I recently had timing gear/sprocket, water pump and cover replaced along with fuel pump and more. Runs real good, could use some carb choke work but, good enough for now. Fresh oil and coolant. Drives in and out of garage and around my yard just fine. Brakes seem to be decent also.

How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores
Wed, 05 Jun 2013After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.

The Acura Precision concept was also recognized for its "innovative use of color, graphics, and materials." And the new Volvo S90 was singled out for its human-machine interface.
