1968 Buick Lesabre on 2040-cars
United States
|
Here's a rare find for you Buick guys ! I found this car back in 2002 for sale in West Virginia and flew out and looked it over , drove the car , and bought the car and drove it home . I bought the car because my Dad bought a brand new teal 1968 Le Sabre Deluxe 4 dr sedan and I always loved that big Buick ride and the body lines . So after I drove the car home I decided to find all the NOS parts I could find and make this 1968 Le Sabre Custom into a Deluxe model . After years of searching I found all the Deluxe moldings and also the rare stainless steel body side moldings that was a dealer installed option . I didn't stop there ! I kept searching and found more NOS parts . I found and bought both front and rear tri shield emblems , right side mirror , side marker lights , front bumper , and the list keeps on going and going . While searching for NOS parts the front suspension was replaced , new springs all four corners , drive shaft center bearing replaced and all u joints . The brakes were all gone through as well , replaced tires with reproduction bias ply tires and put Buick road wheels on the car with new center caps as well . The interior is real close to new , in fact the seats have been reworked and NOS correct Buick fabric as well ! The original carpet and interior looks great . The am/fm factory stereo radio sounds great . The car was repainted before I bought it from the original owner with a nice but older driver quality paint job . There is one small dent on hood near windshield molding . I have been told that dent busters may be able to get the dent out but I have never took the time to take the car to them . I did find a NOS molding for the hood and will go with the car at the time of sale . The engine runs great and the transmission shifts smoothly . The 350-2 runs very smooth and uses no oil . I believe the mileage is correct but no paperwork to verify . When you were to come and see the car and drive I believe you would agree with me . Also I have replaced the radiator , hoses , thermostat , water pump , belts , and more in the recent years . Also the single exhaust has been replaced with duals and has very low mellow sound at idle as well as driving down the road . I believe I have descibed the car the best I can . Take a look at the pictures and if you have any questions or would like to see any more pictures please contact me via email ! Thanks for reading and happy bidding to all ! |

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan
Wed, Mar 15 2017GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones – timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
