London, Ontario, Canada
Wow Today I Have for your consideration a stunning 1957 Buick Estate Wagon, this car is equipped with a 364 V8 nail head, backed by a switch pitch automatic transmission, which all have been rebuilt / restored and are in perfect working order. The paint on this car is in very reasonable condition for its age. It has some lacquer checking but it just adds to the authenticity of the car making it seem like a true survivor for 1957. The chrome on this car is in outstanding condition with what I would believe to have been show chrome finish, very nice. Many dollars spent on the chrome refinishing. The body condition is very straight, with no body damage, that I can find. I have checked the car though ally since my owner ship of some 5 years and have found no previous or present rust issue of any kind. The floor pans are rust free and clean. The interior is in excellent condition through out showing no signs of wear, as is the headliner. Radio works just fine once it warms up tube you know. All Gauges work correctly. The speedo quite working over the winter don't know the issue with it. All windows are in great shape and work correctly. The engine runs great starts right up every time, transmission shifts correctly, no howls or wines out of the rear end. Brakes and steering components are all in great shape and work correctly as they should. I might ad the person that restored this car was the president of the Buick Club of America. This car also completed the Great American Race. This car would be a nice addition to any collection or just make a great weekend cruiser for the person who wants a Buick Wagon. Check the photos out as they speak for themselves. This car is for sale locally and may be withdrawn at any time. I encourage you to stop by and inspect this car yourself or your inspector because seeing is believing. I will help with shipment over seas, I can take to a seaport for your convenience for a small fee. I will Ship the car to Buffalo N.Y. or Detroit MI. Area For transport through out the USA. For a small fee. Theres a small broker fee of $375.00 to have the paperwork done correctly so this car can be registed in any state with ease. I am easy to work with and I am willing to help any way I can to make this an easy transaction. If I haven't said this before this car drives just like it would have when it was brand new in 1957. If you really wish I would drive this car to your front door for the price of fuel, expenses, and plane ticket home for me and my friend. That's how confident I am in this car. Truly is a nice example. Want more pictures just ask. Will consider trades???????? |

PSA's purchase of Opel from GM is expected to be finalized soon
Sat, Mar 4 2017PSA's purchase of the Opel/Vauxhall division from General Motors is expected to be officially announced on Monday, according to The New York Times. PSA, the parent company of European automakers Peugeot and Citroen, will reportedly hold a joint press conference with GM in Paris to announce the deal. GM has worked as part of an alliance with PSA in Europe since 2012. The deal could be a big boon for both companies. For PSA, the addition of Opel and Vauxhall into its fold would catapult the automaker into second place behind Volkswagen for European marketshare, and would allow the company to spend research and development costs across a greater number of vehicles. And GM, which has struggled in recent years to turn a profit with its European division, would be able to focus more squarely on the areas where it's most profitable and to invest in future technologies like automation. But the deal isn't without its potential pitfalls, primarily for PSA. GM hasn't been able to make a success of Opel and Vauxhall, and it's not a sure bet that PSA will, either. What's more, the addition of Opel and Vauxhall doesn't expand PSA's reach any further into new markets, like China or India. The NYT cites data from Ferdinand Dudenhoffer, a professor at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, showing that 70 percent of PSA and Opel business is done in Europe, a market that has been shrinking since 1999. We'll have to wait a few days to see exactly how the deal between PSA and GM will be structured. We're also curious to see how the loss of Opel may affect GM's lineup in the States, especially for Buick, since the company's Regal sedan is based on the European Opel Insignia. In other words, stay tuned. Related Video:
GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect
Fri, 13 Jun 2014General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
2019 Buick Envision starts just under $33,000
Mon, Feb 26 2018Buick has announced that prices for its new 2019 Envision will start at $33,985 (including destination), positioning the refreshed compact SUV right between its best-selling Encore entry-level crossover and more upmarket Enclave and taking aim at competitors including the Lincoln MKC and Acura RDX. The Envision will be offered in five trim levels — Envision, Preferred, Essence, Premium and Premium II, which starts at $45,590 — when the crossover goes on sale this spring. Prices exclude tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. We told you recently about the optional new nine-speed Hydra-Matic 9T50 automatic transmission and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder on the top two trim levels. The upgraded engine offers 252 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The standard setup remains the 197-hp 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine making 147 lb-ft of torque and mated to a six-speed automatic, offered in front- or all-wheel drive. The crossover gets a new winged Buick emblem on the grille, new headlamps and newly sculpted front and rear facias, plus optional 19-inch wheels. It also gets a Buick-first tire-fill alert that signals when a tire has reached the recommended pressure level. Standard technology features include an in-vehicle air ionizer to eliminate odors, a switch to turn off its fuel-saving engine stop feature, rear-park assist, an 8-inch diagonal infotainment system and 4G LTE WiFi hotspot. By dropping the starting MSRP by nearly $1,000, GM says the Envision is now better positioned against its top-selling Encore (starting MSRP $22,990), for which nearly 60 percent of buyers come from outside the automaker's stable of brands.
