Before I begin, I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a seven day auction, I reserve the right to end early.

You are bidding on a 1960 Buick Electra Convertible, iconic flagship of the Buick line. The classic lines and design of the 1960 certainly drives home the meaning of the phrase "They don't make them like they used to". Recently purchased from the 3rd owner of almost 20 years. 97,000 original miles. Original documentation and finished in the perfect convertible color of red and white. Description as follows

Mechanical:
-401 V8 / "445 Wildcat" (445 tq)
-Dual exhaust
-Automatic
-Power steering and brakes
-New wide white radials with polished factory caps
-Nicely detailed engine compartment

Interior:
-Factory bucket seat interior
-Nice two tone color combo
-Rare center console option
-Power driver's seat
-Clean dash and gauges, unique "Mirror-Matic" speedometer
-Nicely finished trunk with spare
-Trim code 849 maroon
-Aftermarket AM/FM Kenwood CD player
-Power windows

Exterior:
-Repainted to its original paint code LL1 Titian Red
-Nice white convertible top with matching parade boot
-Recently rechromed front and rear bumpers
-Well maintained older repaint, shows and shines well. Few minor nicks and chips

Couple things to add: Original lower chrome trim was removed during repaint and prior owner preferred the look without them (and I tend to agree) However, I do have the lower trim that will go with the car should the buyer choose to reinstall. Power top electric motor is tired out. Could be replaced, but works really well manually.

Please take the time to review all the pics and don't hesitate to call for further questions: 517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed MI dealer.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

Opel readying Adam model with SUV cues

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

The Opel Adam, the microcar of General Motors' European subsidiary, has seen its sales cool significantly since it first hit the market in the United Kingdom and Europe, but a push is reportedly under way that just might be enough to get the stylish, little car moving again.
Using the Opel Adam Rocks Concept as a template, Opel will ruggedize the Adam, so that it might compete with the growing herd of city cars that sport SUV styling, like the Volkswagen Cross Up and Fiat Panda 4x4, according to a report from Automotive News Europe. Sporting a bumped-up ride height and tougher body work, it's a dedicated soft-roader, but will freshen the Adam's lineup and, hopefully, broaden its customer appeal.
The Adam Rocks, according to IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher, should also make some more coin for GM's struggling European arm. "Automakers are happy to meet demand for SUV and crossovers as the customer pays a premium," Fletcher told ANE. And although the Rocks might have been planned from the start as a production vehicle, the timing, with the Adam's sales slowdown, doesn't seem like a coincidence.
