Up for auction is my 1948 Buick Roadmaster 2 Dr Sedanette, I've owned this Buick 38 years. It was always a sentimental car because my Dad had a 42 Roadmaster. My older brother and I restored it together, I couldn't wait for my Dad to see it. I took my Dad for little rides before it was completed. The paint and interior was completed in June of 1978. I was so excited for my Dad to see it when we picked it up from the paint and interior shops. In October of 1978 my Dad passed away. I lost interest in working on it any more. But I could never part with it, I did little things with it on and off. I took it to a show 3 years ago and won a trophy! I replaced the engine in 2008, all the shocks, new radial tires, and battery and promised my wife I would sell it after that. Never the less I couldn't do it. The brother that helped me to get it to look like it does always was on me to use it, and do the little things it needs. I just had no self esteem to do anything. I do realize if I let it sit any longer it won't be good for the car. It's time for a new home. The restoration you see of the Buick is what I could afford at the time. The car is not chopped in any way, it will need a carburetor. Although it can be driven to California from here in Pennsylvania. This Buick does not run hot in the summer, I have a 195 degree thermostat in it. On the hot summer days on the highways at 65 and 70 MPH the coolant temperature runs at 200 degrees, in town in traffic it runs around 190 degrees. The oil pressure is above normal, I run Mobil 1 10 W 30 Synthetic oil in the engine, and it doesn't run out! I bought the engine on eBay in Massachusetts. The man I bought it from wanted to put the engine in a Buick Special. It's too long it won't fit. The engine was completely overhauled with .030 pistons. When I got the engine home I pulled all the spark plugs and turned it over by hand. I could see the tops of each piston as they came to the top dead center mark were brand new, and I could see the (.030) stamp marking. I replaced the fuel pump, and what I could see in the oil pan was like the tops of the pistons, new! Under the valve cover was the same way. It is a 48 engine, I checked the serial number. It's a solid lifter motor which it should be for the manual transmission. When I replaced the engine, I didn't have a gasket for the front of the transmission. Since then I did get the new gaskets it needs but they're still in the package they came in. It does drip a little oil between the transmission and bell housing. (I would check the transmission before using the car, it would take about 5 ounces of oil) The torque ball also need to be repacked, I have all what is needed for that as well. Cosmetically the car needs some TLC as you can see. The paint is Acrylic Lacquer, (the car was originally black, but I liked the two tone gray) it does have some spider webs in the paint here and there. All the lights and signals work, inside everything works except for the clock. The radio does work if I hook it up to an external antenna. The radio is from a 53 Special which were still 6 volt cars. The tires and shocks have about 2,000 miles on them and so does the engine. If you have any question please ask before bidding, serious bidders only. Buyer is responsible for all shipping, set the time and date and I will be here to assist the shipper. At auctions end I would need a non refundable deposit of $500.00 A Pay Pal account required. Thank you for looking and good luck to you.

I for got to mention the exhaust manifold has a crack on the center section, I do have a brand new center section, it will go with the car.
On Oct-09-13 at 19:45:12 PDT, seller added the following information:
Also the braking system is perfect! Everything was replaced in 2001. Rebuilt master cylinder, two new rear wheel cylinders, two front rebuilt wheel cylinders, and two flex lines at the front wheels, the system was flushed and added DOT 5, silicone based brake fluid. It does not attract moisture. A lot of classic owners use the DOT 5.

We hear Buick is testing a Regal wagon with focus groups
Mon, Sep 26 2016Rumors about a possible Buick Regal wagon have come and gone for the past few years, and today we have another one. A friend of Autoblog recently let slip that Buick is talking with customers and running focus groups of a new car against the Acura TSX wagon and an unnamed Volvo wagon. Of course the Buick model being used in the focus groups wasn't mentioned, but the Regal is the only Buick in the lineup of comparable size and with a wagon version overseas. Plus, we've heard that Buick told dealers a wagon is in the works at a meeting a few months ago. We reached out to Buick for comment, however no details were given. A Buick spokesperson told us, "By the end of 2017, we'll be revealing three more new models for a total of seven new Buicks in just 24 months." Of the seven new models, four have been launched: the Cascada, Encore, Envision and LaCrosse. Looking at Buick's current line-up, that leaves three models that haven't been updated yet: the Enclave, Regal and Verano. This is where a Buick Regal wagon could come in. We know the Enclave is definitely getting a replacement. The large crossover market is huge and GM has a platform for it. We're also expecting a new Regal sedan to come out next year. The Verano, however, is unlikely to see another generation. If the Verano goes away, that leaves an opening for a new Buick model. Rather than another sedan, Buick probably wants more crossovers, as the company said it expects its current line-up to bring in 70 percent of its sales. It could very easily add another CUV to the line-up by giving the Regal wagon the Volvo Cross Country treatment. Raise the ride height, gird it with plastic fenders and bumpers, and give the wagon a trendy name like "Tourx" or "Regal Tourx," which the company has already trademarked, and Buick's newest crossover is ready to go. In fact, GM has effectively already done this to the Regal's German sibling, the Insignia, in the form of the Insignia Country Tourer, pictured above. In summary, a CUV-like wagon could give Buick a trendy car in a hot class for a minimal investment. It would even provide Buick with a model that has no equivalents elsewhere in the GM stable, giving the company a bit more distinction. If the company does bring us a wagon version of the Regal, we would expect to see something next year, possibly with the reveal of the normal Regal variants.
GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions
Sat, 01 Mar 2014With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."
