Naples, Florida, United States

1975 Buick LeSabre Custom convertible. Brief history; Bought new by my in-laws on April 8, 1975 in Province of Alberta, Canada for the sum of 5,656.00 CD. (bill of sale from the dealer, and bank regarding satisfaction of Chattel Mortgage are included, along with other docs; Owner's Manual, Warranty Card, Accessory pamphlet, Color stub., other) Used sporadically and given to me in 1985. with then mileage of 33+Kmiles. Next, I drove it to LA, California ( a distance of over 1300 miles) where I used rarely till 2006. Next I drove it to Florida where I don't use it at all. Following are modifications performed in California, not necessarily in chronological order; 1. Rear main engine seal replaced. The original was dry and leaked some oil in my garage. 2. New Midas muffler installed 3. New tires fitted 4. All oils and fluids changed including differential. 5 New Holly carb installed. Original Rochester Quadrajet, although fully functional, could not be adjusted to satisfy California emissions control. 6. New top installed as the original black color top turned to the undescript after 5 years under California sun. 7. New Glove Compartment installed. 8. All rubber gaskets for windows, doors, trunk, and windshield were replaced. 9. Large volume electric fan with thermostat was installed for no technical reason. 10. New break pads installed 11. MSD ignition system was installed to help pollution control. Modifications made in Florida; 1. New Wal-Mart Battery installed ( 11/15/2013) 2. Top motor and relay replaced. 3. New break lines, master cylinder and oversized buster installed. On Jan-26-14 at 04:32:50 PST, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention that new rear coils and shocks were also installed while in California, as well new floor carpet. Specific for this vehicle. This car has the original "no radio" dashboard, but I have NOS board with radio cut-out from American made Buick as I planned to add radio, but I couldn't find suitable original 1975 Buick unit for this car.. That dashboard is included with this car for the winner at no extra charge. The new top motor opens the top very fast, but closes it slowly. It looks like it could use adjustment by qualified mechanic. There is a small seam open on the driver's seat that needs to be re-stitched. The car drives excellent, and produces soft and comfortable ride. In my experience it gets 20 MPG on the open road, and approx. 15 in town. It is mostly due to the "Cadillac type" tires that are 12% oversized It is 6 pass car, and it has 6 seat belt sets. 1975 was the first year of NO Lead gas and so it is inscribed in English and French at the fuel cap. Since it became antique car there are no pollution controls required and original the catalytic converted was removed and replaced with a pipe. |

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan
Sat, Jul 22 2017Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.

2018 Buick LaCrosse gets a mild hybrid model, lower price
Mon, Jun 5 2017Update: Buick provided us with horsepower and fuel economy figures. The text has been updated to reflect this. Buick is rolling out a variety of updates for the 2018 LaCrosse, including a new mild eAssist hybrid. Like the previous generation LaCrosse and Regal eAssist models, this one features a small electric motor and an equally small battery pack that together augment rather than supplant the gasoline engine. The motor, attached to a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, helps to make takeoffs smoother and provide additional torque on demand. The gasoline engine still does the majority of the work, though. Combined, the powertrain produces 194 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque. It will also allow the LaCrosse to get 25 mpg in the city, and 35 mpg on the highway. While the electric powertrain doesn't provide primary propulsion, it does come with other benefits. The small battery means the LaCrosse maintains a folding rear seat. The battery also provides power to accessories when the engine shuts off at a standstill. This mild hybrid powertrain will be the standard engine for all 2018 LaCrosses, and they come with a lower base price. The 2018 model will start at $31,415, which is about $1,500 less than the lowest priced 2017 V6 LaCrosse. The V6 will still be available as an option, and Buick has updated it, too. The 2018 V6 models will also all come with a new 9-speed automatic transmission. The new LaCrosses will go on sale this fall. Related Video: Image Credit: Buick Green Buick Hybrid Luxury Sedan
Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach
Sun, Aug 16 2015The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.
