I am listing this car for a friend of mine, so please remember that when asking questions or when leaving feedback if this vehicle sells. I will post his email and if you have any additional questions or need more pictures please email him. The vehicle has clear title and my friend has the title in hand. Up for sell we have a 1953 Buick Roadmaster Hardtop. The Buick body is sitting on a 1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 frame and running gear. The car has the Olds 350 motor, power brakes, steering column and gas tank. A Painless wiring harness gives the car all its juice. Tail lights, turn signals, parking lights all work. Car also has an under dash mounted heater. Tail lights are out of a 1969 Cadillac and are turned upside down. All glass is original and is in good shape and working condition.The quarter glass has some "fogging" around the edges. Both door windows and quarter glass roll up and down and both wing glass work. To my knowledge all the original chrome is on the car. Interior is what you see. The front seats are buckets out of a newer model vehicle, they do recline. Rear seat is original with a mexican blanket covering it. The are no door panels, kick panels or headliner. Speedometer, Tachometer and in dash clock do not work. Car has fuel, oil pressure, water temperature and battery voltage gauge that do work. The wiring harness is mounted under the dash and also has a 12v socket for phone charger etc. The white walls are "port-a-walls" not real white wall tires. Port-a-walls came from Mooneyes. Tires are 205/70/15 Goodyear Viva with 80-85% tread left. Spyder caps and beauty rings came from So-Cal Customs. Wheels are 5x5" lug pattern. As far as under the hood...nothing special. No chrome or any type of dress up at all. The car sits low......because it is. No type of air-ride. It has been channeled roughly 8" and just sits low. Overall the car runs and drives good. I have rode with my buddy in this car to numerous car shows out of state, 2-3 hrs away with no problems. Car has drove on the interstate running 65-70mph no problem. His wife drives it quiet often as well. He has no problem worrying about her driving the car. The car is a driver.....it is not a trailer queen. It gets drove. The car is right at the border line to leave as a "Rat Rod" or slick up. The worst part of the body is the rear splash pan directly below the trunk. As far as the rest of the car from 2-3" up on the bottom to roof is in pretty decent shape. No major dents or dings. Roof is fairly straight and solid....mainly surface rust. This car would make a good as is "Rat Rod" cruiser/driver or take the time to slick it up and make a show car out of it. If you have any questions or want anymore pictures regarding the car please email- k_short@hotmail.com. That is my friends email address. The car is for sale locally, we reserve the right to end this auction at anytime. If the car does sell the buyer is responsible for any shipping arrangements. That includes pick up, delivery and cost of getting the car to them.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

Is that a Cascada on Buick's Detroit show stand?

Sat, Jan 10 2015

The above image is a close-up of one particular car spotted in a rendering that Buick provided of its stand at next week's Detroit Auto Show. Two doors, four seats, no top, deep and arcing shoulder line - any idea what that might be? We're going to guess it's the coming Buick Cascada, only we're stretching the definition of the word "guess" since the car is a dead ringer for the Americanized Opel droptop, which we drove more than a year ago. Looks like it's finally going to get the 'Official' treatment as a 2016 model, after it was shown to dealers last August. There have also been rumors that the car will be called Velite, but newer rumblings out of the Renaissance Center suggest that such gossip is a dead-end. The Cascada will enter a segment with no real competitors, since the Chrysler 200 ragtop is gone and a Buick convertible vs. Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro convertibles isn't really a thing, and we think will make a nice expansion of the brand's model-range footprint. The big bit of news we're waiting for is what's going to power it, a Euro-sourced four-cylinder with 168 or 197 horsepower? We don't have long to wait to find out.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
