 Up for bid is a 1963 Buick LeSabre 2 door coupe factory equipped with a high torque 401 cubic inch 'Nail Head' engine, Dynaflow 2-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and 'Sonomatic' radio. This Buick starts, stops, and drives just as smooth as it did when it left the showroom floor. It is an amazingly complete 50-year old classic retaining most of it's original components, even the spare battery-acid glass jar is still firmly secured to the inner fender of the engine bay. The interior still shods the factory carpet, door panels, and seat upholstery however, it is missing the two sunvisors (chrome mounts are present) and the headliner material has been removed but the bows are still installed.  The heater controls, radio, and fuel gauge are not working but a new fuel sending unit (still in the box) is included. Also, the power brake pedal is missing it's rubber pad and the headlight switch is missing it's chrome bezel. The glove box contains the original owner's manual and the trunk contains the original bumper jack and lug wrench and a Remington bias ply G78-15 spare tire.

A previous owner has slightly modified this vehicle with dual glasspack mufflers complete with chrome bell flower tail pipes and a "Superflames" flamethrower kit. The exterior has received a matte-black paint finish and the riding height has been lowered slightly. In addition, a remote-controlled Sony AM/FM stereo with MP3 disc player has been installed in the trunk.

All lights, glass, trim moldings, and emblems are present and in good condition. The right corner of the rear bumper which serves as the back up light housing has been pulled away from the quarter panel and the bumper has an area of rust-thru adjacent to the this corner. As you will see in the photos, there are several areas of rust bubbles forming under the paint on the hood, trunk, along the trim moldings, and at the lower portion of each door skin, however, the rocker panels, frame, and floor pans of the vehicle are all solid.

The engine starts right up, idles smoothly, and accelerates effortlessly with no fluid leaks or overheating. The transmission also operates smoothly and quietly with no fluid leaks. The tires have very good tread remaining and the steering and brake systems operate smoothly also with no fluid leaks.

This vehicle is for sale "as-is, where is" so please view all the photos and ask any questions prior to placing your bid.  Buyer is responsible for transport of vehicle and I can assist with pick up as needed.

Don't delay your bid as I have this vehicle for sale elsewhere and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time if a collector makes an offer I can't refuse.

Buick Avenir will be made...as a trim level instead of a car

Fri, Sep 30 2016

Almost two years after Buick showed the gorgeous Avenir concept, the company announced the Avenir name will reach production. Specifically, it will be a top-tier trim level for 2018 model year Buicks. It's taking a page from GMC's Denali, Lincoln's Black Label, and, well, plenty of examples of extra-fancy sauce. This is disappointing news for fans of the concept, but they can take solace in the fact that the Avenir's good looks are starting to rub off on production Buicks, such as the new LaCrosse. For those interested in what this new Avenir trim will bring to the table, it's a similar formula to what many other auto brands are doing. Buick specifically compares Avenir with the Denali trim for GMC. Models with the trim will get a special 3D mesh grille inspired by the Avista concept, large wheels and unique trim finishes outside. Inside, Avenir models will receive a nicer interior, which Buick generically described as having "unique seat details" and "modern trim materials." Cars equipped with the package will also get a smattering of Avenir badges. Avenir looks like a win-win: interested buyers get some extra cachet and bragging rights and Buick gets to load high-profit options on it cars and SUVs. Buick's inspiration for the Avenir trim is a bit strange, though. The company says it is "inspired by Buick's evolving customer base," which includes women and owners of competing products. Apparently both groups are buying Buicks in greater numbers, and the company also says that many of their customers opt for the most expensive trims. While it seems straightforward to tailor a package for luxury-seeking buyers, we're not sure what would make a package specifically appeal to women and people with competitors' vehicles. That being said, Buick isn't as patronizing as Cosmopolitan was with its car. In fact, quite the opposite. With Avenir, Buick is cashing in on new customers that willing to pay for luxury plain and simple, without any pandering. Related Video: Auto News Buick Luxury denali buick avenir

How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
