Up for bids is my 1954 Buick Skylark Convertible, number 709 out of 836 built. I bought this car in 1970 and have had many years of enjoyment, but now its time for you to enjoy. She needs restoring and is a good candidate. The original Dynaflo transmission has been nicely rebuilt, the generator is rebuilt, the engine is original and runs smoothly and strong. The entire muffler system has been replaced to resemble original. Also, the gas tank has been replaced and has only had corn free gas in it. All the gauges work! The hydraulics for the windows, top and seat do need rebuilt, but the car comes with all new window cylinders purchased from HydroElectric ($500 worth). The old rotted cylinders have been removed.The interior needs a total redo but the door panels are decent for its age. The trunk pan has been replaced and frankly not correctly, leaving out the spare tire well, but the underside still looks very good. She was originally Malibu Blue and was repainted white in the 60's. I repainted her white again and did necessary body work in the early 90's to maintain her. The top is also from the 60's, has no rips or tears but the plastic widow zipper has become unsewn. All the glass is good, at least were a year ago when they were put down to work on the hydraulic mechanism.

I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. There is NO warranty, but have tried to be upfront and honest about its condition. I will do my best to help you with your shipper (Yes, it needs shipped unless you are close to 34239) but know I have to travel a lot so we will have to make concrete plans.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. My phone # is 941-953-9565 and does not receive texts. Thank you for your interest.

Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?

Sun, Jan 10 2016

Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production Â– which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says Â– it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.

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?
