Buick Invicta Two Door Hardtop on 2040-cars
Eden, Utah, United States
1959 Buick Invicta Two Door Hardtop. This is a very original, 79000 mile, Buick. It has the original 445 Wildcat engine with a stated horsepower rating at 325, as well as the complete original drive train. It drives perfectly and is very powerful. The paint is original (please look closely at the original paint in the photos), it is in very good to excellent condition. The color combination is "Arctic White" over "Lido Lavender."Again, please look closely at all of the photos. This is excellent running, original car and should be in a museum or antique car collection. All the glass is good, it runs perfectly, and can be driven anywhere. If you wanted, you could fly into Salt Lake City, and drive home in this original Buick Invicta. I have the original title in hand, as well as the original owner's manual, and service records. The original Firestone spare is still in the trunk. The original carpets are in good shape and it has a perfect headliner. It has new brakes, a new battery, and a recent tuneup. The body is very straight. The doors, hood, and trunk lid open and close like a new car. The trunk rubber seal and the door seals are in very good condition. The wide white wall tires have excellent tread. The window cranks roll up and down smoothly, and it is difficult to imagine that this Buick Invicta is over 50 years old. If you have any questions about the Buick, please feel comfortable messaging me or calling. My phone number is (801) 745-5835. I would be glad to talk with you about the Buick.
I highly value my 100% positive feedback rating on Ebay and I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are getting. With this in mind, I will list the very few minor issues I have found with the car. 1. The seat covers look original to the car and are in good condition, but I think the original seat covers might be underneath. 2. There is minor surface rust, about the size of a quarter, by the rear license plate, as well as two very small bubbles on the passenger's side front fender. There are minor dings a scratches in the chrome. They are difficult to see and hard to photograph. The car is in very good condition, but it is original and has not been restored and after fifty years, it has some minor scratches in the trim. If you have any concerns about the condition, please call me. This is easily a # 3 car and, in my opinion, a good # 2. They are only original once! I will gladly assist the new owner in shipping the car anywhere in the world. The shipping cost is at the owner's expense, but I can store the car for a reasonable time, and I will assist the truck driver in getting the car loaded and shipped. I hope this really nice, original, Buick Invicta finds a good home. On Jul-01-14 at 10:48:42 PDT, seller added the following information: In a recent check of the rear quarters of the car, I found another minor rust issue that I want to be sure the new owner is aware of. On the rear fender, behind the rear wheel, underneath the car, there is some bubbling in an old minor repair. The rear fenders fold underneath the car and this is were the small bubbles can be observed. It is not noticeable without crawling under the car. As I mentioned, I highly value my 100% positive feedback on Ebay. This newly discovered problem is nothing serious, but I don't want the new owner to get the car home and later discover problem areas I didn't list. It is a minor issue, and I will send photos if needed. The floors are in excellent shape from the trunk to the front of the car. There is still original undercoating on the floors and they are absolutely dry and rust free. There is original paint still on the frame rails. |

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
2016 Buick Cascada marks the return of casual convertibles
Sun, Jan 11 2015Buick is reentering the convertible game after a 25-year absence with this, the long-awaited 2016 Cascada. Fans of General Motors' European operations will recognize this svelte, four-place droptop as a rebadged version of the critically well-received Vauxhall/Opel Cascada, a model that has been on sale to audiences across The Pond since 2013. The Cascada will once again give American car buyers the chance to buy a relaxed, affordable two-row convertible without sporting pretensions, an option that arguably hasn't been available since the demise of the Chrysler 200 droptop. For US duty, the softtop Cascada will arrive with a 1.6-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged four-cylinder that churns out 200 horsepower. That figure is paired up with 206 pound-feet of torque, which can be bumped to 221 lb-ft via an overboost function. A six-speed automatic will dispatch that power to the front wheels, which are managed courtesy of a HiPer strut front-suspension system. While the Cascada might share its front suspension with the setup found on the Regal, its torsion-beam rear suspension has more in common with the Vauxhall/Opel Astra (and Buick Verano) on which it's based. 20-inch wheels and an electric power-assisted steering system round out the convertible's handling hardware. Of course, we doubt most Cascada customers will care about such oily and unseen things. Instead, they'll be more focused on the droptop's sheetmetal, which, considering it's basically a convertible version of the extremely handsome Astra, should win the car at least a few fans. While we only have so much detail to work with in the images that have been released so far – we'll be seeing the Cascada firsthand this evening (Sunday), so check back tonight for additional live images later today. Naturally, the Vauxhall/Opel grille will be replaced by Buick's trademark waterfall grille, although the company's other big styling calling card, portholes, are absent from our current pair of shots. A wide chrome strip stands out on the rear, tying the taillights together and increasing the Cascada's resemblance to the Regal sedan. A single oval exhaust tip juts out from the driver's side rear bumper. In terms of its actual dimensions, the Cascada's wheelbase is less than half an inch longer than the Verano, while the droptop is an inch longer than its four-door counterpart overall. At only an inch wider, meanwhile, the Cascada will enjoy the same easy to manage footprint as Buick's entry-level sedan.
Looking back at how and why GM saved Buick
Mon, Dec 19 2016Still uncomfortably fresh in our collective minds is 2008, the year when the US economy tanked, auto sales collapsed, and both General Motors and Chrysler endured federally managed bankruptcies. Then 2009, when, among other draconian measures, the government task forces dictating what they were compelled to do to earn taxpayer financial support ordered thousands of dealers cut and GM to discontinue four of its eight US brands. Three of those chosen for GM's axe were fairly obvious: off-road icon Hummer had become politically incorrect, Swedish-born Saab was a perennial money loser, and product-starved Saturn had sadly sagged after its strong early start. On the other hand, high-volume value brand Chevrolet, luxury Cadillac, and high-profit GMC seemed clear keepers. That left Pontiac and Buick, both boasting strong brand heritage and histories but both languishing at the time with lackluster image and sales. Most believed that "old man's car" Buick would be killed and once-youthful Pontiac and its performance image would be revived. So few understood why when exactly the opposite happened: Buick lived, Pontiac died. One key factor was Buick's long, distinguished history in China. In the early 20th century, many of that country's most influential citizens owned, drove, or were driven in Buicks. By 1930, one out of every six cars on the roads in Shanghai was a Buick. So when GM launched vehicle production at a Shanghai joint-venture plant in 1999, the chosen brand was Buick. Today it remains GM's best-selling brand in that fast-growing market. Another was an appealing new design direction that began with a shapely 2006 three-row crossover concept called Enclave. Inspired by the Buick Velite concept convertible of 2004, its curvaceous "form vocabulary," GM Design vice president Ed Welburn said at the time, previewed coming Buick production car and CUV design. "The body shape flows, like there's wind blowing over it," he enthused, adding that the Enclave concept's richly trimmed cabin foretold "a renaissance in interior design for GM." And when the production Enclave arrived for 2008, followed by platform siblings from Saturn and GMC (and later Chevrolet), it indeed caught the public's eye and started selling well. And once past GM's painful and embarrassing bankruptcy, Buick has been on a major roll. Continuing to sell strongly in China while growing substantially in the US, it has enjoyed four straight years of global sales records.
