Up for your consideration is a 1972 Buick Skylark Custom. This nice looking Skylark belongs to a friend of mine who buys a lot off E-bay but he has never sold anything, so he asked me if I would. He is the second owner of the vehicle, he bought it over a year ago from one of the original family members who bought it new here in Atlanta in 1972, he has the paperwork to prove that. He began the process of restoring it while he drove it. It has a new top with a glass rear window, new carpet, and a fresh paint job. This is the original color, Sunburst Yellow, but my friend decided to have real metal flake put in the paint so that it sparkles in the sun. I tried to take some pictures up close so you could see the metal flake. This is an all original car except, from what my friend was told by the original owner, they had replaced the original motor with a '72 350 motor from another Skylark that had lower mileage. The car starts and seems to run fine after it warms up. There is no smoke or clatter or any engine noise. I took it out for a cruise yesterday and it seemed to run fine. It would hesitate a couple of times on acceleration but would clear up after about 30-40 MPH and ran fine. All the windows worked fine a week ago, but when I came back home from my cruise yesterday, the front passenger window did not go up, probably a switch and I will do my best to get it checked out this week. The only other issue that I have found with the car is that one of the brakes seems to grab harder than the other. If you hit the brakes quickly it wants to pull to the right but all the brakes are working. My guess is that there is a caliper sticking, having not been driven much in recent months. This is a southern car, so rust is not an issue, the doors are solids, the quarter panels are solid. I took everything out of the trunk so that you could hopefully see that the trunk floor pans are solid. There are some small pinholes in the trunk pans but this is where water had gotten into the trunk, nothing serious. The electric top works fine and closes securely. The interior is in good shape as you can see from the pictures. It is missing the passenger side sun visor, but an easy fix, it is also missing the belt on the air conditioner but is otherwise intact. This is a great looking convertible that you could drive while you finish the restoration. My friends situation has changed and needs to sell this car and is putting a reasonable reserve on it so that it will sell. Because of the age of the car, it is being sold "as is" with no warranty implied or stated. If you need the car shipped, I will be glad to deliver it to the shipper if you make the arrangements and the car is paid for. Please ask all your questions before bidding and please only bid if you intent to purchase the car. I will do my best to respond to your questions as quickly as I can. There is a $500 non-refundable deposit to be paid within 48 hours of the auction end and you can contact me in regards to the balance. Thanks for your interest and have a great day.

Small number of 2013 Buick Encore models recalled for loose steering wheel
Thu, 04 Apr 2013General Motors has issued a recall and a stop sale for the 2013 Buick Encore due to an issue that could result in the steering wheel falling off on certain models. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM says that 144 Encores equipped with heated steering wheels could have been incorrectly retrofitted due to a parts shortage.
Needless to say, a loose or separated steering wheel would likely cause an accident if it happened while the vehicle was in motion. The recall doesn't go into effect until April 12, but concerned Encore owners can use the official recall notice (attached below) to contact GM.
2016 Buick Cascada First Drive
Wed, Jan 27 2016Florida became a state in 1845. It is the third most populous state in the United States, home to the most-visited theme park in the world. It is where you'll find every convertible ever sold in the United States, be it a pasty white Infiniti M30 or a Lamborghini. And soon, many examples of the 2016 Buick Cascada will call it home. Florida is full of Buicks. Wonder if anyone bought a Rendezvous Ultra? It's in Florida. The Buick Reatta, the company's last convertible before this? Also there. Buick, however, is eager to get those who better remember Bush vs. Gore than Nixon vs. Kennedy to ask, "That's a Buick?" Which is how we arrive at the Cascada. The Cascada isn't so much a new Buick as a car that's new to Buick. It's been on sale for about three years as the Opel Cascada in Europe, along with badge-engineered siblings sold by Vauxhall and Holden in other parts of the world. Buick took that time to make several hundred changes to the Cascada for US consumption and then found it without many rivals. The Chrysler 200 convertible, Volkswagen Eos, and Volvo C70 would all be prime targets for the Cascada here, were they not all dead now. Buick's gamble is that these Chrysler, VW, and Volvo (also Saab, for that matter) customers are looking for somewhere to go next. The Cascada isn't so much a new Buick as a car that's new to Buick. One thing is certain: the Cascada is eye-catching to Floridians. I had no fewer than six people in Miami and Key West walk up to me and ask what kind of car it was, or even say, "That's that new Buick convertible, right?" Despite being three years old, the Cascada's looks have aged pretty well. And it's been spared many of the tacked-on details, like fake portholes and chrome wheels, that were adhered to the Regal when it made its trip over from Opel-land. Top up or down, the Cascada is attractive. Unlike the Audi A3 or BMW 2 Series convertibles (the former being the Buick's prime target), there's no abruptness to the design, no sharply ending lines. The Buick looks relaxed in a Palm Beach or Palm Springs way, even on the inside with the convincingly stitched dash top and standard heated leather seats (one of the pieces redesigned for the Buick). That being said, the pattern on the seat material is a misstep, looking like it was inspired by Aunt Flora's 1972 patio furniture. Then it's surprising that you don't exactly sink into the Cascada. While the seats are mounted low, they're not pillow soft.
