1957 Buick Roadmaster Base Hardtop 4-door 6.0l on 2040-cars
White Marsh, Maryland, United States
|
I purchased this car to make it a nice daily driver. It is a fully loaded car with power brakes, power steering, power windows, power antenna, power seat and factory air. I worked on it for two years and an illness in the family forced me to stop. I started working on it again in 2013 and now it is 95 percent finished with just a few minor fixes. I can no longer work on this car because of my age and health, mostly age. About the car. I rebuilt the engine and had the transmission rebuilt by a transmission shop. All of the rest of the work was done by myself. New brakes, including wheel cylinders and hoses, new dual exhaust system, new shocks, new power antenna, all new flat glass and windshield, all new weather stripping, Gas tank was removed ,cleaned, and sealed and a new sending unit installed , all new hoses, including water, vacuum, and fuel, 90 percent of the chrome has been re chromed and a new headliner installed. I removed everything from this car, including the doors and dash so I could treat all un painted surfaces with a rust restorer. When I purchased this car it had been sitting for some time and every surface was covered by a fine coating of rust. So I treated every area I could reach and sprayed every area I couldn't reach. There were only two bad spots on this car, one a quarter size hole in the rear door frame dogleg, which I welded and the spare wheel well was completely rusted out. I removed the wheel well, made a new one from fiber glass, installed it and glassed the entire trunk floor. I did a very good job. I painted this car myself and although it is not a six thousand dollar paint job, it is pretty and all it needs is maybe fine sanding and buffing to make it perfect. This was not a frame off restoration by a professional but I think you will be satisfied with this car. Those were the pros, now the cons, The carburetor need to be rebuilt, the generator does not show charge(new regulator) the gas gauge does not work and the AC pump is not installed. The AC evaporator is missing but I have all of the other parts to install the factory air. This car has never been on the road since I did the work. The engine has about three hours run time on it. The tires look new, but are about fifteen tears old and should be replaced. I have tried to list the good and the bad. I am not sorry about selling this car, After five years, I am sick of working on it. I will be happy to answer any questions. A $1000 non refundable deposit is required at the end of the auction and the balance due in cash within seven days of the close of auction. Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping, I can not help. Thank You |

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Why Buick's Encore wasn't a Chevy
Wed, 31 Oct 2012Buick is taking a gamble with its 2013 Encore. General Motors' near-luxury brand has enjoyed great success attracting conquest buyers to its larger Enclave crossover, but it has never offered something quite like this small CUV.
Very early signs suggest that the gamble might be working. According to Mark Reuss, President of General Motors, the automaker expected about 1,500 initial orders from its dealers for the Encore, but it's tracking closer to 9,000 units. Alluding to the fact that historically, Buick has shared similar products with GM's other brands, Reuss says that Buick dealers are "thrilled to have an exclusive." The automaker already markets almost identical models in other markets as the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevrolet Trax, but The General's other brands won't offer a twin to the new baby Buick.
The new Encore is based on the Gamma architecture that underpins the Chevrolet Sonic, and it shares the economy car's available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. With standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive, GM says its Encore will be pitted against competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, both of which are much more expensive but also much more powerful.
GM to offer 2 years free maintance on most 2014 models
Thu, 06 Jun 2013A day after Ford announced it was scaling back the complimentary maintenance program for its Lincoln brand, General Motors has gone in the completely opposite direction, offering most of its 2014 lineup with free maintenance. Since 2011, Cadillac models have all come with a four-year/50,000-mile complimentary maintenance program, but Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles will now come standard with free maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles for the 2014 model year.
The program will give vehicle owners and lessees free oil changes, tire rotations and 27-point inspections following the recommended maintenance schedule laid out in each vehicle's owner's manual. We contacted GM to see which vehicles were eligible for the program, and a spokesperson got back to us with the following comment:
"All 2014 models are eligible, it's just that the included services vary by model, e.g., Spark EV would not need oil changes, Corvettes don't recommend tire rotations."
