Buick and Oldsmobile introduced the "Aeroback" fastback bodies on the mid-size G body cars in 1978 in response to the hatchback models being imported from Europe and Japan. The American buying public wasn't quite ready for this radical style. As a result, they were only available for three model years. Sales numbers for those years were very low, especially for the Buick Century, so they are a very rare sight today.
This example is a true survivor which was in the possesion of the original owner up until very recently. It was sold new in Coshocton, Ohio and lived the majority of its life in that quaint little town. All original documentation is intact as well as the original keys in the original leather key case from the selling dealer. It is equipped with the one-year only 305 cubic inch V8 which starts instantly and runs smoothe. The automatic transmission shifts crisply and the brakes are great. Routine service has just been done and its performance instills confidence. All systems work as they should, although the cold weather has prevented me from testing the air conditioning.
Considering that the car is 35 years old, it is a remarkable survivor. The paint is over 90% original and still shows well. There are no rips or tears in the original upholstery or carpet and the dash has no cracks. Some of the plastic trim has gotten brittle with age and does show some cracking and some of the exterior chrome has some deterioration. Overall, it is a wonderfully original example of a rarely seen model.
This car is a great entry level collectible which is easy and reasonable to maintain. It's a true artifact of a transistional time for U.S. manufacturers. Lots of retro-cool for not a lot of money, and still a very usable car. This would get you instant celebrity status with members of the Brown Car Appreciation Society. Personal inspections are welcome. Feel free to ask any questions through the ebay system. The lucky winning bidder must make payment in full within six days of auctions' end. As with any car of this age, it is sold as-is. Have fun and good luck!

2013 Buick Verano Turbo
Thu, 03 Jan 2013Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Buick Regal GS and troupe of basketball dribblers make great beats
Wed, 02 Apr 2014The 166 videos posted by YouTube music video maestro Kurt Hugo Schneider have been watched almost half a billion times. When Coke wanted to do something musically inclined and a little different, it called KHS, and the result was the video Little Talks.
Buick appears to be the next blue chip in line, and KHS' melodic celebration of the 259-horsepower Regal GS is called Epic Basketball + Car Beat. In it, a red Regal sits at center court in Venice Beach, California while a cast of ridiculous dribblers make music with and around the sedan.
We'll let the music speak for itself, which it does quite well in the video below.
