I bought it in 2010 from a dealer in Minnesota off of Ebay. The vehicle is in good condition for being over 50 years old. There is rust on the front bumper. Some hail damage on the roof. Very minor dings. From a distance you cant tell they are there. Car is all original. I have done nothing to it but add a battery. The Car drove over a year ago. It needs a new starter. From what the dealer told me, it belonged to an elderly lady and they picked it up as part of an estate sale in Iowa. The old oil change cards are still in the club box. The passenger side window has a crack in it."

Ok first off let me state that I am not a Buick enthusiast. I understand that this is not a Roadmaster. It is a Super! So all the classic car people who are thinking of sending me emails don't waste your time.  I've sold cars on Ebay before and inevitably I get one or two know it all's that want to feel good about themselves and send me emails.  With that being said this is  Blue and White 1956 Buick Super.  Car has 61,759 original miles on it.  I bought it in 2010 from a dealer in Minnesota off of Ebay.  The vehicle is in good condition for being over 50 years old.  There is rust on the front bumper.  Some hail damage on the roof.  Very minor dings.  From a distance you cant tell they are there.  Car is all original. Some rips on the front seat.  I have done nothing to it but add a battery.  The Car drove over a year ago.  It needs a new starter.  From what the dealer told me, it belonged to an elderly lady and they picked it up as part of an estate sale in Iowa.  The old oil change cards are still in the club box from where the lady had it serviced. The passenger side window has a crack in it.  Other than what I have stated I don't know much about the car.  I had plans on restoring it but I have lost interest.  I will try to answer any questions, again I am not a Buick expert nor am I a car expert.  A $500.00 deposit is due within 24hrs of the end of the auction.  Full payment is due within 3 business days.  Buyer is responsible for shipping planning and cost.

Buick to use Velite name for its Cascada?

Mon, Dec 1 2014

Ever since Opel brought out the Cascada convertible last year, rumors have been flying that Buick would offer it Stateside – much like it does with the Insignia-based Regal and the Astra-based Verano. And now we might have our best clue yet as to what Buick might call it. According to GM Authority, General Motors has filed to use the name Velite on a new model. The name first appeared on a convertible concept unveiled over a decade ago at the 2004 New York Auto Show (pictured above), but GM reportedly opened an application to trademark the nameplate for production in 2011, seeking extensions on its application every six months since. Of course the fact that it's applied for its fifth extension (of a permissible six) doesn't necessarily mean that GM will ultimately bring the cabriolet to US showrooms, or that it will use the Velite name if it does, but the fact that GM is keeping the name alive could be a good sign. The market for relaxed four-seat convertibles has been shrinking, leaving it up to drop-top muscle cars like the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang. But with entries like the Toyota Camry Solara, Volkswagen Eos and Chrysler 200 Convertible having dropped off the market, the Buick Velite (or Cascada, or whatever it's ultimately called) could have the sedate cabriolet segment all to itself – even if (or especially if) Lexus dealers aren't interested in touching it.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

The 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?

2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
