1968 Buick Skylark convertible with only 54k miles. I was on the way to a full restoration but have to let it go unfinished. I will start to say that everything mechanical was restored and this car runs and drives like new engine is whisper quiet and smooth. Transmission was rebuilt, engine had gaskets and seals and full paint restoration at that time and no leaks anywhere everything was done from belts hoses etc. needs nothing! Brakes are all new as well exhaust system. Shocks and tires are new and battery too. The seats have been restored professional and look like factory new, rest of interior parts are great. I have a complete new carpet kit, all door seals and window seals included. All the exterior stainless trim is present and in excellent shape with many spares included that were collected through the years to make an excellent set. I had found a better rear bumper and had it re chromed which is also included and seen in pics, front bumper is great. I don't have the fender skirts but do have the stainless rear wheel well trim instead, the body still has the tabs for skirts. The top is fairly new and in perfect shape and goes up and down with the dash button perfectly. The boot cover is good but could use some of the plastic attaching clips. Original spare tire and jack in trunk. The floors and trunk are 100% solid with no rust through just surface rust, scuff and paint. The whole underside, frame and body was cleaned, painted with epoxy paint. Door jams, trunk and under hood yellow areas are already painted. The only thing left to do is the outside body work. The rear quarter panels will need the most work, front fenders and doors real good shape, again the outer body is the only thing left to do and then you will have an outstanding classic. I have someone that can assist in delivery if needed. I am located 45 minutes west of Milwaukee. You can call me with any questions if you would like. Paul @ 262-470-0604

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]
Sun, Jan 25 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores
Wed, 05 Jun 2013After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.
Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.
