This car started it's life as a special order for a police department in Arizona.  It was to compete against a Chevy and a Ford to determine a new squad car.  It performed well in trials, but the Wildcat couldn't escape it's poor gas mileage.  It was auctioned off, and a nice lady bought it and drove it for a long time, and eventually parked it under some trees on her land.  Soon after, her next door neighbor rang the door bell and asked if he could buy it.  You see, he had just received news that he had cancer.  His doctor felt it would be good for his immune system if he were to find something that really needed cleaning, and then scrub it clean.  The doctor wanted him to imagine his immune system cleaning the cancer away.  He immediately thought of this old car with sap being dripped on it, and he made his offer.  He went straight to work, and he scrubbed and he scrubbed, and eventually the cancer went away.  Well, I don't know, but I bought the car from him, and I just couldn't shake his story.  He seemed very sincere.  I had spent a little time with him, and he was a normal, genuine man in his late 60's.  I hated the idea of just painting over this car, but it needed something.  I wanted something special for a special car.  I felt that stripping this car down to the bare metal would pay homage to this unique classic, and pay homage to it's previous owners.  Think about it.  This is as original as it gets.  This is as survivor as it gets.  There is nothing hidden, nothing painted over.  So I went to work taking this car down to it's bare metal. I created the exact look I wanted as I went.  It has a nice pattern of swirls that only show in different lights.  It looks incredible.  It looks so much better in person.  I can honestly say that.   It took weeks, but somehow in all that hard work, I felt a sort of spiritual cleaning.  The car seemed to draw me closer to God in some strange way.  It was like God was sanding down the enamels in my life that were hiding problems.  Maybe all that's a bunch of hog wash, but then again, maybe its not.  I don't think this car healed that man, and I know it didn't heal me.  But, it has given me reason to think that there is something very special about it.  Something better.  Something bigger.

I haven't had this much fun driving a car in a very long time.  It looks so good, and it drives so good.  It is a solid car.  It is quicker than most cars on the road, and I LIKE THAT!  This car draws a lot of looks and a lot of attention.  Be ready to show it at the gas station or wherever you take it.  People just are drawn to it.  They like it.  The bare metal wows everybody.  The comment that sticks out the most is, "THAT'S SICK MAN!"  It is sick man.

I'm kinda connected with this car now.  Feel free to ask questions or whatever.  You can even call me. 

(505) 259-1119

I can FaceTime or Skype you and show you the car.  I'd be happy to do a  walk around and start it up and burn YOUR rear tires off if you want.  Whatever, I'm a car guy, and I like to talk about my cars.

This is an old car.  It is not fully restored.  It has quirks, but they're not annoying quirks.  It has a small leak.  It has dents and rust spots.  There's some sand marks on a few windows.  They are very obvious in the pictures.  It starts immediately, always has.  Warms up immediately.  Smokes the back tires.  What more do you want?  This is an underpriced, no reserve auction for a classic car.  There are no warranties or returns.  Ask you questions now.  Talk to your boss now before you bid.

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.

Buick Enclave gets continental makeover with Tuscan trim

Fri, Mar 27 2015

Buick is trying to lend an air of Italian elegance to the Enclave with its newly announced Tuscan Edition that's available on the crossover for the 2016 model year. Named after the famously hilly and fertile region of Italy, the package brings some bronze accents to the CUV. As the very specific trademark filing for the Tuscan suggests, the special edition adds bronze trim to the uprights in the grille, and the metallic color finds its way into the embellishments on the 20-inch chrome wheels, too. Buyers also get to choose from three shades when ordering the package: White Frost Tricoat, Dark Chocolate Metallic and Ebony Twilight Metallic. Beyond those trim upgrades, the Tuscan Edition is just like any other Enclave. The package can only be ordered on the Leather and Premium trims, and all of their features are still available including a power moonroof, park assist, HID headlights and many luxury features inside. As with the rest of the range, power comes from a 3.6-liter V6 with 288 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque that routes through a six-speed automatic. There's also a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The Italian-inspired CUV makes its debut at the New York Auto Show in just a few days and brings its bronzer to dealers this summer. Buick Introduces 2016 Enclave Tuscan Edition Bronze accents distinguish crossover that ignited brand's renaissance 2015-03-26 DETROIT – Buick today introduced the 2016 Enclave Tuscan Edition – a more distinctive expression of the popular crossover, highlighted by a bronze-tone grille and 20-inch chrome-clad wheels with bronze accents. The Enclave sparked Buick's renaissance eight years ago and continues to fuel its momentum, with 2015 sales building on record sales of 62,300 in 2014. "Buick's quality, refinement and style continues to attract more customers and this modern resurgence started with Enclave," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick. "It was a pioneer for three-row luxury crossovers and remains one of the segment's most popular. The new Tuscan Edition celebrates Enclave's achievement and rewards owners with a higher level of distinction." The 2016 Buick Enclave Tuscan will be on display at the New York International Auto Show and goes on sale this summer on the Leather (1SL) and Premium (1SN) trims. It is offered in three premium exterior colors: White Frost Tricoat, Dark Chocolate Metallic and Ebony Twilight Metallic.
