It is breaking my heart writing up this ad, but I have to liquidate some of the collection to fund a land speed pursuit. I am offering for sale my 1953 Buick Skylark. This Skylark is a very original solid driver and a beauty. It does have some imperfections but I call it character. The exterior paint has great patina with some eggshell cracking, dings and scratches in the over 60 year old paint. I have been told by a few different Concours D'Elegance judges the interior was not original but the exterior paint is. Its nice to get the original paint bonus points at the high-end car shows. The Skylark has earned several blue ribbons. The leather seats are in overall good condition but there are a few seam splits in the seat bottom. The gauges work. The drive train is solid and original. There are a few gasket leaks. The tires have less that 100 miles on them, they are Diamondback Classic wide whitewalls. The hydraulic top, seats and windows all worked before draining the system. The body is straight and rust free, spent most of its life in Nevada. The Skylark comes with a ton of original memorabilia and even the original owners manual. Again very original and solid blue chip investment grade 53 Skylark. I need at least 50K cash and will barter on the balance. I would have a especial interest in a C2 vette, 308, 328, 355, Knuckle or Panhead, jet engines, indian 4 or ???

The 1953 Buick Skylark was built to commemorate Buick's 50th Golden Anniversary. Buick was GM's founding brand, so this was a big moment in their history. The 53 Skylark is virtually a production handmade custom car. It was based on the Roadmaster line, however the fenders, doors, quarter panels, window frames, seats were all sectioned and/or modified by hand to obtain that perfect look. They went all out, and spared no expense. Designer, Harley Earl, created the perfect combination of style and performance. A truly elegant piece of rolling art. They did not stop with just the design. As they billed this 4315lb vehicle as a sports car, and it was just that. The 1953 Buick Skylark was the perfect fusion of a luxury and sports car at the time. Every 53 Skylark came fully optioned from the factory. These options included every amenity offered in 1953, such as power brakes, steering, windows, convertible top, seats and even a powered antenna for the foot controlled selectronic radio. Kelsey-Hayes 40 spoke wire wheels with wide white walls were also standard. The 53 Skylark epitomized luxury and class. The elegant leather interior was complimented with the sweepspear moldings and stunning chrome. 1953 was the first year of the 322/188HP V8 OHV nailhead motor. The motor was followed by Buick's twin turbine dynaflow automatic transmission. This combination moved the Skylark to over 100 MPH and could do 0-60 in 12 seconds. Some go with tons of show...

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak

Thu, Apr 16 2015

Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.

NC dealer falsely announces return of Regal Grand National, Regal GNX

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Like many new car dealers, Liberty Buick GMC gets so excited about its brands' new wares that it puts out press releases announcing when new models are on the way. That's not typically national news, but the Charlotte, NC store has created a bit of internet hubbub by announcing that it will be "one of the first dealers in the country to offer the Buick Regal GNX," and it's even started to add customers names to a waitlist. Only one problem: Despite seemingly annual rumors and calls for such a model, Buick hasn't announced any Grand National models at all – let alone a GNX Â– and no such models are actually in the cards. The Liberty Buick press release talks in a nostalgic, venerative tone of the original 1982-1987 GN franchise, and goes on to say: "These returning relics will be based on the highly-acclaimed Alpha vehicle architecture currently used in the Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, and soon to be in the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro. Alpha is the internal name of a General Motors vehicle architecture engineered to underpin compact and mid-size rear-wheel-drive vehicles." In the release, Liberty Buick claimed the GN/GNX models would arrive in late 2015, citing a coupe bodystyle, including a rather fantastical-looking GNX rendering from Bestride.com. Unsurprisingly, none of this is true. Autoblog reached out to Buick for comment about the release, and brand communications manager Nick Richards confirmed that the company had discussed the matter with Liberty Buick representatives. Richards went on to say that the release was wholly incorrect, proclaiming "an agency [for the dealer] picked up a lot of stuff off the internet" and ran with it, including an old Car and Driver story from 2013. The dealership subsequently issued a retraction, with Scott McCorkle, owner of Liberty Buick GMC saying: "We love the idea of the Buick Regal GNX coming back to our showroom but for now, it's only a concept. Bottom-line, the article was incorrect.

2013 Buick Enclave

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

GM's Flagship Lambda Is (Still) A Smooth Operator
Consumers shopping for a domestic full-size crossover have heard all about GM's triplets. The Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave are a very appealing and talented group of siblings. Entering their fifth year of production, albeit middle-age in the automotive industry, each is attractive, well-rounded and very capable on the paved dance floor. While all share nearly identical base DNA and the same basic running gear, subtle physical differences and unique personalities emerge between the trio when one digs a bit deeper.
The most polished of the threesome, without question, is the Enclave from Buick. Fresh off a mid-cycle update (as are its siblings), the flagship of the platform boasts a facelift, innovative new features and an upgraded demeanor for the new model year.
