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 expanding Lansing Lambda CUV plant

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Considering that crossovers are a rapidly growing portion of the US auto market, it's not surprising to hear that General Motors is preparing to build even more of them. The company is investing $63 million to expand its Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant that builds Lambda platform CUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave.
According to GM, the expansion will add roughly 263,000 extra square feet of space to the plant. Of that, 181,000 square feet will be for an updated body shop with cutting-edge robots. There will also be 54,000 square feet of additional room in the paint shop and 28,000 square feet of more area for general assembly.
GM isn't saying as much, but there is the possibility that this extra space could allow for additional models produced at the factory. Cadillac reportedly dropped plans to build a three-row SUV on the Lambda platform earlier this year, however, dealers for the luxury brand were recently pitched the possibility of adding large and small CUVs, an ATS convertible or a sedan below the ATS.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

2020 Buick LaCrosse images leaked on Chinese website

Fri, Nov 16 2018

Buick is planning a refreshed version of its LaCrosse full-size sedan for the Chinese market, judging by these photos discovered by the site Auto Verdict on a Chinese government site used to certify upcoming new models. We can only see exterior cosmetic changes, but they bring the LaCrosse more in line with the styling of the new Regal and Enclave models, leading to speculation that it won't be long until the changes show up in the U.S. The front three-quarters photo shows off a redesigned front fascia, with slimmed-down headlights that are now tied to the grille instead of set apart by body-color surround, thanks to some new chrome treatment. There's also a chrome wing on the grille, similar to what's seen on the 2019 Enclave and new Regal. The lower front fascia is also different, with new L-shaped fog lamps. On the rear, there's a new chrome wing connecting and intersecting the taillights and surrounding the badge. There's no word about any interior changes, but they'd likely be minor in keeping with the exterior updates. Buick most recently debuted a 2019 LaCrosse Sport Touring version, while a mild hybrid model arrived for 2018. China, of course, has become Buick's largest market, but the picture is less rosy stateside amid dimming prospects for sedans, as consumers flock to crossovers and SUVs. In the third quarter, U.S. sales of the LaCrosse fell 31.1 percent from the prior-year period. Between January and the end of September, GM had sold 13,409, which was a decline of 14.2 percent. Its full-year 2017 sales totaled 20,161, which was down almost 27 percent from 2016. For perspective, Buick sold more than twice that number — 42,035 Â— as recently as 2015. The current generation launched in 2017. Related Video: Featured Gallery 2020 Buick LaCrosse China Image Credit: Buick Design/Style Buick Luxury Sedan
