1956 Buick Century Convertible on 2040-cars
White Salmon, Washington, United States
Rare opportunity to finish a rare car where all the hard and dirty work has been done. This convertible has original body sheet metal with replaced floor & trunk metal from a donor 1956 Century - so no rust or patch panels ! It is incredibly straight. The car even has had the seat springs dipped to ensure everything is clean!
Frame is already finished with cad plated bolts, new steering box, new brakes, new shocks, etc. Number match engine and transmission are completely done, 100% fresh with all receipts. All items are rebuilt or replaced with NOS parts. The options include a continental kit included - no missing pieces, NOS exhaust pipes and exhaust tips. Power seats and power windows per Century standard. Convertible top bows are in great shape and complete. All trim is included - nothing is missing. Brackets, bumpers, chrome and stainless is all there, dash board etc. Most all metal parts are either already stripped or polished. Ready for paint, upholstery and reassembly. Many boxes of NOS trim, gaskets, washer jar and other parts are included and come with the car. Bumpers, grill and larger exterior parts DO need chrome. I need someone to finish this so I can restore an recently inherited 1935 family car. Tom - 360-901-9828 - Car and parts are stored inside a dry garage and located 1 hour outside of Portland, Oregon area. |

Buick's Velite 5 is a rebadged Chevy Volt for China
Mon, Mar 27 2017There's nary a mention of the famous Chevy Bowtie badge in Buick's press release for its new Velite 5. No shoutouts to the extended-range Volt, with which the Chinese-market Velite clearly borrows its hybrid gasoline/electric technology. But that's okay; to borrow an adage, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. And, as you can see from the image above, the Buick Velite 5 is a duck Volt with a Tri-Shield badge. The Velite 5's 1.5-liter engine and lithium ion battery pack provide up to 466 miles of range, with the first 62 miles or so coming on battery power alone. That's more range than Chevy quotes for the Volt, so we're not sure what methodology Buick is using to calculate mileage. Still, even if it's more like the Volt's estimated range of 53 real-world miles, it would be enough for many Chinese drivers to avoid the gas station altogether. Buick showed off a Velite Concept late last year that doesn't appear to share much at all with this new Volt-based production model. But since the brand is promising more plug-ins and EVs in the coming years, we wouldn't be surprised to see further models carrying the Velite moniker, perhaps one based on the all-electric Chevy Bolt EV.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
