1951 Buick Roadmaster Convertible on 2040-cars

1951 Buick Roadmaster Convertible It breaks my heart to have to sell this Unique Specimen of Automotive Art. I have owned this car for many years as I purchased it from a Widow Lady whose father purchased it new in 1951. She told about the day her father went to pick the car up at the Buick Dealership. She was the oldest and luckiest of five siblings as she got to go with her father to pick up the car. She remembers how her Dad put the Convertible top down and her long hair went all directions in the breeze. As she grew older her father let her drive the car in the Homecoming Parades. She recently passed but I cherish the stories she related to me of her long lasting love for the Roadmaster. When her father passed the car was left to her and her husband. In 1992 her husband passed but only after a ten year swap meet effort to find as many NOS parts as he could for his ongoing restoration of the vehicle. And he did. NOS Rear Fenders, Stainless Steel Moldings and numerous other items. He had a new interior of Red and White made for the car by a Company in Chicago. They did a fine job. I have the completed door panels and everything else that goes with the interior. All new weather stripping and many many extra parts. All of the chrome has been redone and the bumpers put back together ready for installation. The motor purrs like a kitten. I recall my dad who was a dyed in the wool Buick Connoisseur telling me that he could tune a Straight Eight Buick Engine to keep a quarter standing on its end during acceleration. Those Pierce Arrows didn't have a thing on a Buick he would say. Due to health issues of my own I am forced to sell this awesome motor car. I never got the time to put it back together. I did the brakes and a few other things and often drove it around the block for exercise, even without the front fenders on. I am told that the motor was rebuilt during the restoration endeavor. I have kept the car and all of the parts in a Climate Controlled environment. Look at the pictures close and either email me at daveglassel@gmail.com Text or call me at 832 533 7767 I am asking $25,000 for the car FOB Houston, Texas. I can arrange delivery if need be.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?
Watch this phantom Buick drive itself down the highway in a snow storm
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Years ago, General Motors used Buick cars to test out the idea of a "smart highway" concept. More recently, GM has been talking up its award-winning Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology that will roll out with Cadillac and make its way to Buick. The LeSabre in the video above has nothing to do with any of that.
On Interstate 15 in Utah, a man driving this LeSabre got into an accident that rearranged the front end and set the horn on permanent blare. At the time of writing this, no one is sure what happened next, but the man ended up sitting in the snow in the highway median while his car carried on down the highway without him. Passing traffic stayed well to the right.
The 51-second video below provides a different take on our autonomous future. A local newscast on KUTV covered the story the evening of the incident, but the Utah Highway Patrol didn't have any update on the fate of the LeSabre. We'll take that to mean that Buick's take on Christine could still be out on the prowl... so watch out!
Pre-owned bargain alert: Buick Regal
Wed, Feb 3 2016For the past couple of years, Buick has been very aggressive in promoting short-term low-mileage leasing. The plan was to get people in the door to experience the new Buick. Once they realized Buicks are now sleek and full of Euro Chic, people might want to buy one. It's debatable if that plan worked, but one thing is for sure: There's a massive amount of low-mileage Buick Regals out there. The price of Regals is all over the map due to lease returns and dealers aggressively discounting 2015 models to get rid of them. But at the $17,500–20,000 range there are a good number of 2013 to 2015 Regals with under 15k miles for sale. The Regal might come with 2.0L Turbo or 2.4L Hybrid. The Hybrid is a bit slow; stick with the Turbo and drive with the traction control off. They all come moderately equipped with leather, heated seats, alloy wheels, and dual-zone climate control. If you have a little more cash to spend, go for the 2012/2013 Regal GS, which is based on the Opel Insignia OPC. The Regal GS comes with 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft from a turbo engine and a HiPerStrut suspension to reduce torque steer. They all come standard with Brembo brakes, navigation, sunroof, and premium sound system, in automatic or manual. Just make sure you budget money in your savings to replace the front tires. Trust me on this. You can purchase a Camry or Accord with some equipment for under $20,000 with a bit more miles and years than the Regal. But ultimately the Regal feels more premium, drives better, and is less boring. Make the right choice and buy something unique.Related Video:
