Great ride in this very reliable, crowd-pleasing classic. 64,278 original miles. Tenderly cared for. Runs great – starts first time every time with complete reliability. Cruises effortlessly on the highway. We purchased this car from Wisconsin family in 1999 and have enjoyed many fun filled times with this classic cruiser.
Engine: Less than 6K miles on this COMPLETE ENGINE OVERHAUL (professionally done: pistons, rings, bearings, camshaft, lifters, timing chain/gears). Includes hardened (stellite) valve seats – runs exceptionally on NO-LEAD GASOLINE. Delivers great power and has no issues.
Cooling system has recently recored 4-tube radiator, new water pump (less than 6K miles) and provides good cooling. Also includes auxiliary electric fan for additional cooling support in low speed (parades, etc.).
Transmission shifts smooth and effortlessly in all driving conditions. Has some of the minor expected fluid seepage, but not a concern.
Undercarriage is in surprisingly great condition for a 61 year-old classic. The wide-whitewall steel belted radial tires have less than 6k miles plus new shocks and coil springs provide a dreamy, smooth ride. Features 1953 Buick optional wire wheel covers that are in great condition. Power brakes professionally reconditioned provide firm stopping. Steering is effortless with Buick’s power steering. Alignment is straight and no concerns cruising down the highway.
Body is straight and has no rust! Paint is classic black – refinished with base-coat/clear-coat approx. 20 years ago. A few of the very minor expected finish imperfections for a car of this vintage, but no major issues. The chrome and stainless trim, bumpers and grill are all there and look great. Glass is all good with a few very minor discoloration in the vent windows.
Interior door panels, headliner and dashboard are in great condition. Classic 1950s dashboard with plenty of shiny chrome! Speedometer, tripometer and all gauges function fine, except the gas gauge which needs some attention. Includes original radio and clock that are currently not functioning and need some attention. Windshield wiper motor is vintage vacuum type that need reconditioning. Seat frames, springs and padding are fine - need recovering. All doors and windows function perfectly. Trunk is huge, lock works fine and is in great shape.
Electrical system (generator, voltage regulator, etc.) is in great shape, no concerns. Battery replaced in 2013. All lights (headlights, high beams, directionals, interior) function properly. Wiring is intact and in great shape.
Includes original owner’s manual and Buick OEM Shop Manual.
This is a great, well-maintained, reliable classic that has been in our family for many years and is ready for your cruising adventures.

GM trademarks 'Sport Touring' for Buick Regal, LaCrosse

Thu, May 7 2015

Discovering trademarking or patents from automakers always fascinates us since the filings hint at the possible future of motoring. Based on two recent applications, Buick has something possibly brewing for two of its sedans, because the company now has the trademark for Sport Touring on the Regal (pictured above in GS trim) and LaCrosse. According to GM Inside News, both trademarks are dated April 27 and are simply described to the US Patent and Trademark Office as being for "motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles." That doesn't narrow things down at all. However, since the moniker is specifically for both sedans, Sport Touring might be a new trim or special edition for them. Buick had no comment when reached by Autoblog. Of course, there are a whole host of automotive trademarks that are claimed that end up with no actual vehicle in showrooms. Unfortunately, we just have to wait to find out if this is another case like the Buick Enclave Tuscan where the filing offers a preview of the future or a situation like the still long-awaited return of the Supra.

2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
