SELLER REMARKS

This 1962 Buick Electra 225 hardtop is how you always hope to find the best survivors. Very nicely maintained with a keen appreciation for keeping everything as original as possible, it's still a wonderful car to drive and shows extremely well inside and out. If you dig preservation-class competition, this car is a great candidate.

Still wearing factory-applied Arctic White paint, this big hardtop has the kind of presence normally reserved for the really heavy hitters. Of course, being based on the same platform as the big Cadillacs of the time certainly contributes to that impression, and no matter how you look at it, the "deuce and a quarter" is a big car. However, the expert styling gives it great proportions and for 1962, it actually shrank a bit, and the result was the best-performing luxury car on the market. The flanks are straight and clean, the doors fit beautifully, and it's obviously been a long, long time since it was a daily driver. The paint shines up well and has that soft patina that only time can bestow on a car, and since much of the trim is stainless, it was easy to maintain. The other components, including the bumpers and intricate taillight housings, also remain in above-average condition. And even in 1962, four portholes on the fender meant top-of-the-line.

The handsome, conservative interior is exactly what you'd expect from this heavy cruiser, a wonderfully detailed environment that smells of quality. The front seat cloth upholstery has been replaced with an exact match (a spare roll of the fabric is included with the car), the only thing separating it from the original stuff in the back seat is time. Otherwise, the door panels, carpets, headliner, and dash pad are all original and amazingly well-preserved. The instrument panel is wonderfully dressed in bright metal trim as was the fashion at the time, yet the controls will feel instantly familiar to anyone driving it today. Factory A/C is an important option and it's fully functional with a fresh shot of R12 inside, and even the Sonomatic AM radio still works, including the optional rear speaker. In back, the trunk is outfitted with original carpets and a full-sized spare with jack assembly.

Buick's 401 cubic inch "Nailhead" V8 was legendary in its torque production and moves the big coupe with effortless ease. The '445' on the air cleaner is a reference to the torque rating, making this full-sized car fee much smaller when you stomp the pedal. The engine runs superbly, with a crisp V8 burble from the single exhaust pipe, and looks quite good with original Buick Turquoise paint still covering the engine itself. Maintenance items like the battery, belts, hoses, and some wiring have been replaced, and in the past three years, it received a fresh brake job (including lines, cylinders, booster), rebuilt front suspension, rebuilt A/C system, and new motor and transmission mounts. As a result, it drives like nothing you've ever driven before with a creamy smooth ride to which nothing today can compare. The Twin Turbine automatic transmission is seamless in operation, and you'll be shocked by how clean it is underneath. Original, but very impressive overall. Newer 8.15-15 whitewalls have been fitted for a correct look, complete with factory hubcaps in the center.

Impressive for a lot of reasons, this big Buick is an incredible survivor that's still highly usable. Call today!

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:

2016 Buick Envision might be your first Chinese-built crossover

Mon, Jan 11 2016

At the Detroit Auto Show, the new Envision crossover flips the traditional Buick paridigm on its head. We've been hearing for years about strong sales of the Buick brand in China, but now we'll see if North America is ready for a Chinese-built (but, as GM is very quick to point out, American-engineered) CUV. The Envision rides on the latest version of the Delta 2 platform that underpins many GM vehicles. It'll slot between the tiny Encore and the cavernous Enclave, which is a nice sweet spot for volume sales in the hot crossover market. Gas is cheap, and Americans are eating these vehicles up – in a market like this, does it really matter where the Envision was actually screwed together? The powertrain package is surprisingly compelling Â– perhaps there will be some life to the driving experience. Motivation is provided by a 252-horsepower turbo inline-four and a six-speed auto, and in a first for a Buick crossover, it'll feature the torque-steer fighting HiPer suspension, which splits up steering and suspension duties in a way that'll tidy up the front axle's manners under power. A few other neat tricks make it into the Envision, like active grille shutters to squeeze some extra efficiency out of the CUV, and available park assist. The 2016 Buick Envision goes on sale later this year. Buick Introduces Envision Luxury Crossover DETROIT Â– The 2016 Envision is an all-new luxury compact crossover with segment-challenging driving dynamics, advanced technology, connectivity and Buick's trademark interior acoustics. It is a global vehicle, designed from the ground up as a Buick luxury compact crossover. It goes on sale in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2016. "The all-new Buick Envision is a modern, confident and responsive luxury compact crossover that combines the brand's core characteristics with great performance features like our HiPer strut suspension," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%

Sat, Jun 13 2015

General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.
