1957 Buick Roadmaster Model 73, 4 Door Hardtop,v-8,55,56 Limited on 2040-cars
Lewistown, Montana, United States
|
I assume this is the Model 70, but tag calls it a model 73, and I was told by a Buick collector that this should be the LIMITED edition, because of the extra chrome trim going over the roof that was a special option, but no badging to this effect is shown. This is a decent old car that is literally a barn find. The body and floors are very solid. This has been stored in a dry Montana barn for many, many years. It runs and drives, but would need checked over before being driven on the highway. The oil looked real good, It fired right up, but the battery we put in it is is weak. I would consider putting a brand new battery in if we sell at full price. There is a switch on the engine that is not working and has to be connected to start. This would need to be replaced or an aftermarket starter button added inside, but it easy enough to start right now until the buyer has time to fix properly. This will need most of a new interior depending on the level of restoration you want to do with it. The door panels are decent, I would say driver quality. Carpets and seats definately need done. There is only one real scrape that I can think of in the right front door, not very deep, but will need work if it is repainted. We can store six months NO CHARGE, so you can take a nice spring drive up yourself and pick up if you choose. Or we will help load on any transporter you send by as long as is daylight and above freezing!! I welcome any questions and will answer as best I can. It's a great old classic, needs someone to take care of it and have fun with it.
Free storage 180 days, $2.00 a day after that unless a specific time has been set for you to pick up after the 180 days.

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.
Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
