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.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
Opel to electrify all model lines by 2024, speeding PSA transition
Thu, Nov 9 2017What do you see in the Opel logo? That's right, a lightning bolt. As the German automaker dramatically restructures its future plans, electric cars are in the core of Opel's survival. With attempts to stop leaking money, Opel is speeding up its secession from GM technology, launching nine new models by 2020 with the aim to complete transition to PSA hardware by 2024, leaving only two Opel platforms. This is all part of Opel's freshly announced PACE turnaround plan, which is crucial for the company's survival, according to CEO Michael Lohscheller. "PACE will unleash our full potential. This plan is paramount for the company, to protect our employees against headwinds and turn Opel/Vauxhall into a sustainable, profitable, electrified, and global company," says Lohscheller. Competitiveness will be improved by reducing per-car costs by 700 euros, and by cutting marketing costs by 10 percent. Regarding Vauxhall's future, the statement still includes the British brand. When the Opel sale agreement was reached between PSA and GM in March, the plan was to start implementing PSA technology in 2019, completing the transition in eight years, as Automotive News says. The new business plan is noticeably faster. By 2020, with full access to PSA's electric tech, Opel would have a fully electric next-generation Corsa hatchback and a PHEV version of the Grandland X SUV, which is already based on Peugeot's 3008 model. Currently, there are nine Opel platforms and 10 engine families. By 2024 there should be two platforms and four powertrains; the number of diesel engines in use remains to be seen, and all product lines would include an electrified model. There would be an SUV and a midsize vehicle based on PSA's EMP2 architecture, with the former built in Eisenach — formerly known as the town that built East German Wartburg cars before its Opel era — and the latter built in Russelsheim, where Opel HQ is located. The Russelsheim hub will become PSA's global "competence center," where all Opel/Vauxhall vehicles would be engineered — not Paris. Plans include avoiding any factory closures or personnel layoffs. The PACE statement also mentions Opel's entrance to all of 20 new export markets, with a specific mention of China and Brazil, countries which have traditionally seen Opels sold as Chevrolets. Will the United States be included in that export plan?
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
