This Park Avenue was bought by my parents from a local GM dealership in 2002 for over $17,000, with a mileage of 33,212. Mom drove it for a few years, then they bought her something new. Then Dad drove it until he wisely stopped driving due to health problems, and he passed away in Fall of 2012. It has been parked in Mom's covered carport since, but has been driven occasionally or borrowed (by us) when one of our cars was in the shop. Since they rode with us on long trips, this car pretty much had light, gentle use. Dad loved this car and all its bells and whistles. We live where it is very balmy (South Georgia), so there is no salt damage, but there is a new A/C compressor and it has been recently charged, so the air works well. (We roast here without a/c!) It runs well, and all power equipment seems to be working fine. It has a new battery as well. The interior is very clean, but when I was cleaning the back of the driver's seat, a little of the cleaner (not bleach) dripped onto the carpet below and discolored it. I included a photo of it, but the mat can be turned around and that area not seen at all. Just trying to be honest. The leather seats are still in great condition, and the interior is very clean. My parents never smoked in it, or had others that smoked in it. The back of the car does stick out a little from the carport, so the rear bumper has some peeling and fading. Other than that, much of the car has had a good quality, more recent paint job. The color is so dark that it is hard to get photos to show minor things, but I will gladly send more photos to serious buyers. The tires are in very good condition, and should have many more miles on them. The car itself should have many more miles to go! Kelley Blue Book value is about $4600.

The color is so dark that it is hard to get photos to show minor things, but I will gladly send more photos to serious buyers. The tires are in very good condition, and should have many more miles on them. The car has been in one accident of any significance. That was when Mom was in it, stopped and about to turn right out of a gas/convenience store lot. A truck driver had been stopped to run into the store, but he didn't find what he was looking for, jumped in his truck, and was going to turn right at the same place Mom was waiting for a chance to turn. He claimed he didn't see the car, and he essentially shaved the outer panels off the drivers' corner of the car. Of course, the outer panels, the hood, the grille, the left light, the door (maybe both doors) on that side were damaged. Although Mom honked the horn for all she was worth, the truck driver kept on going, took the nearby entrance to the bypass, and stopped at another convenience store near the edge of town, where he was apprehended. Mom was fine, but was told she would have been killed if her door had been open. A little boy witnessed the incident, and his mom brought him over to see that Mom was fine because he was so shaken up. This car is solid, and we are so thankful it protected her well. The shop that did the bodywork on it charges reasonable prices, and over $6,000 was spent in repairs, but they told us the frame was NOT compromised. It was a severe accident in that it could have resulted in injury, and it was over $6,000 to repair the right way. The trucking company did pay (and hopefully, they fired the driver). The owner of the shop that did the repairs is also posting a sale flyer for the car, and he said it was well worth the asking price of $3800. He said "It's a good car", and is offering it to others who have expensive repairs who might want to just buy this one. This is why the paint, the grille, and trim look "younger" than you would expect for a 1999. This car needs to be driven and enjoyed a lot more than it has lately. The Kelley Blue Book value is about $4600. On Jul-21-14 at 21:59:23 PDT, seller added the following information: A few pictures, including views of the tires and of flaws have been posted. It was sprinkling, so there are specks of water on the car in photos, but used opportunity to make sure the wipers work, which they do. Worst interior problem is that Buick should have used a little more material to wrap around some plastic trim on the "door" sides of the front seats. I'm sure this must have happened with all of them, but there is probably a simple way to improve the look. Seatbelt hid it from my notice first time. Drove it a mile or two today, and engine is quiet but has strong acceleration. Stereo was probably hardly used, so I tried the radio, CD, and Cassette, and all work fine. Driver's seat has lumbar adjustment along with standard ones. Seat belts are in very good condition, but could use a little upholstery shampoo. Tires have good tread, and seem to be wearing evenly. Is this car perfect? No, but for its age, it is in amazing condition! |

Junkyard Gem: 1956 Buick Special 4-Door Sedan
Sun, Aug 6 2023Buick was flying high in the middle 1950s, with an all-time sales record of nearly 800,000 cars sold for the 1955 model year alone. Buick stood proud in third place for new-car sales in the United States for 1955 and 1956, behind only Chevrolet and Ford. At this time, both Oldsmobile and Buick built cars on the GM B Platform, with the Buick being the swankier and more prestigious of the two. Here's one of those Buicks, found in a Denver self-service boneyard recently. The list price of this car was $2,416, or about $27,505 in 2023 dollars. Located one step down on the GM Ladder of Success, the 1956 Olds 88 sedan started at $2,226 ($25,342 now). The Oldsmobile had a 324-cubic-inch (5.3-liter) Rocket V8 rated at 230 horsepower, which was serious stuff for 1956. This 322-cubic-inch Buick Nailhead V8 made ten fewer horses for 1956, but it would be bored and stroked out to 364 cubes for 1957 (and was all about land-yacht torque, in any case). A three-on-the-tree manual transmission was standard equipment on the 1956 Buick Special, but this one has the $204 Dynaflow automatic transmission ($2,332 in today's money). The Dynaflow usually gets called a two-speed, but it drove like more of a very inefficient (yet smooth) CVT that had two manually-selected ranges. This car spent too many decades outdoors to have any chance of a restoration. As often happens with cars stored in fields in rural Colorado, someone used this Buick for target practice. The bullet holes look like little VentiPorts. Does the '56 Buick go? Va-va-va-voom!
Buick and Bar Refaeli teach in-car yoga
Mon, Jul 27 2015We're not sure which make or model you'd most readily associate with yoga. You'd probably see a fair few Mercedes convertibles, VW Beetles, and assorted minivans and crossovers outside your typical American yoga studio. But not to be left out of the contorting action, Buick is out to link itself to the age-old practice with these latest videos. They feature, as you can see, the ever lithe and supple Bar Rafaeli, clad in spandex, stretching and contorting herself inside and out of a Buick Verano. Which is really all you should need to know, but there's a little more to the clip above (and the behind-the-scenes video below) than eye candy. Choreographed by yoga guru Chad Dennis, the idea behind the video – cleverly entitled The Body Shop – is to show drivers, in as artful and visually pleasing a way as possible, how to limber up their body, mind, and soul in preparation for (or recovery from) a long drive. It also serves to promote the brand's new 24 Hours of Happiness test drive program that lets prospective buyers take a Buick home and try it out for a day before buying. And if nothing else, it aptly demonstrates that Buick has excellent taste – or at least as good as Sports Illustrated that gave the Israeli model her first big break, Leonardo DiCaprio whom she dates for several years, and the dozens of fashion labels, jewelry brands, and magazines for which she's posed in recent years.
GM says over 40% of new China launches in next five years will be EVs
Wed, Aug 19 2020SHANGHAI — General Motors is planning an electric car offensive in China with more than 40% of its new launches in the country over the next five years set to be electric vehicles (EVs), the U.S. carmaker said on Wednesday. GM's electric vehicles, many of which will be all-electric battery cars, will be manufactured in China with almost all parts coming from local suppliers, the company said in a statement released at its Tech Day event in Shanghai. Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that GM was planning to overhaul its Chinese line-up to stem a slide of sales after more than two decades of growth in a country that contributes nearly a fifth of its profit. GM's new China boss Julian Blissett told Reuters that new technologies, such as EVs and cars with near hands-free driving for highways, would play a key role in GM's China initiatives, which are part of a push to get annual sales in the country back to the 4 million peak it hit in 2017. GM did not say in its statement how many new or significantly redesigned models it was planning to launch in China over the next five years. "China will play a crucial role in making our vision a reality," GM CEO Mary Barra said in the statement, referring to its initiative to create what it describes as a future of "zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion" through electrification and smart-driving technologies. GM has said it plans to invest more than $20 billion in electric and automated vehicles globally by 2025. It was not clear how much of that investment will be spent in China.
