Beautiful car. The ultimate "Beach Car". Been sitting in my garage for years, haven't started her in 6 months. Really runs good. Partially restored, only 104,000 miles. Full power 425 engine w/factory air, factory cruise control (still works) power windows, wind-wings, seats, cornering lights, 12 disc CD, beefed up cooling system for parades. Too much to list. NADA list poor Condition $11,500, medium $21000 and restored $31000. Am starting the bid @ $6995. 
I bought her 7 or 8 years ago. I'm sure everything is legit on the car (numbers match etc).  The guy who installed my new top told me that the 104,000 mileage was "NOT" rollover because the interior was original. I replaced the top and the top motor (a hydraulic line is leaking right now). I replaced the windshield and I had the transmission overhauled less then 5000 miles ago. No rust from what I have been able to see. Car has stayed in my garage since I've owned her. I put in a 12 disk CD player and new speakers, oil pressure, temperature and battery gauges. Oh, had an air condition guy look at it...The compressor is fine but the air conditioner needs some kind of internal switch (he said 300 dollars). The car has electronic ignition, no points or condenser. The carburetor was rebuilt less then 1000 miles ago. The electric windows work slow but okay but the electric wind wings do not. I'm not sure, I think the electric seats work two out of the three directions. I replaced one of the two cornering lights and sockets/frame.  I put in a heavy duty double fan for parades and I went to duel exhaust.   The rubber (doors, windows and top) needs replacing (car leaks everywhere during rain).   The tires are very good, almost new. I also like the fender skirts. The handbook is the original. I Believe the car originally (in 1965) belong to a doctor in Oklahoma. I learned from research that there are approx. 60 of these cars left (1965 Electra convertibles) and that mine has many rare factory options such as the cornering lights, wind wings and factory cruise control. The asking bidding price is really, really good, too good, so I have been told.  I haven't started her in 6 months but spray the carburetor and charge the battery and she starts right up.

2017 Buick Encore freshens up for the New York Auto Show

Thu, Feb 25 2016

Buick is dressing up the 2017 Encore for spring – specifically the New York Auto Show – where the compact crossover is expected to strut its stuff. The freshening follows the playbook of the Chevy Trax, which was also updated with a light hand. Though it keeps its familiar shape, sort of like an oversized Pontiac Vibe, the Encore gets Buick's new grille. It's a simple look with the wings bisecting the brand's tri-shield, and it calls to mind Buick's iconic front ends from yesteryear. You might remember it from the Avenir and Avista concepts. There are also new headlights. They look stolen from Audi, and it's an attention-getting gaze for the new face of the Encore. There will likely be new wheel packages, too. We can't see inside the Encore. Spy photographers couldn't get close enough to this Buick shoot in Southern California. But, we expect the interior to also mirror the Trax enhancements, which included a new instrument panel, gauges, materials, and infotainment. The Encore shares underpinnings with the Trax and Opel Mokka. We expect the Encore to arrive in late summer.

Buick begins offering 24-hour test drives

Mon, Jul 20 2015

Even as the year's sales charts show a decline, Buick says its brand image is improving. To bolster that soft metric while it works on overhauling its lineup - consumers are clamoring for more crossovers - the brand will begin offering overnight test drives as of July 23. Buick trialled the program in Phoenix and got a good response, so it rolls out as an ad-supported nationwide campaign called "24 Hours of Happiness" as of July 22. The push is on probation for three months while Buick evaluates it, but they expect it to continue beyond 90 days. Cars will be sourced from the loaner fleets that dealers offer customers whose cars are in for service, so only dealers with such fleets will be able to participate. General Motors did the same thing in 2003 and 2004, at the time saying it led to more than 500,000 "extended" test drives and close to 190,000 sales. That program had a cash component, in that buyers were offered $250 if they chose a non-GM vehicle after their test drive. 24 Hours of Happiness won't come with any inducements; Buick is taking the long view, positioning this as support for the brand instead of as bait for immediate returns. The Phoenix dealer who ran the program first said that it got fewer bites than he expected, but that customers who took a car home "were far more likely to buy the vehicle." Cue the Regal GS hooning in three, two... Related Video:

Buick confirms 2017 Encore for New York Auto Show

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Buick will unveil the refreshed 2017 Encore at the New York Auto Show in March, company spokesperson Stuart Fowle tells Autoblog. The brand isn't ready to divulge info about the updated compact crossover, but a recent revision to the Encore's European platform-mate, the Opel Mokka (above), might provide hints about what to expect. "While we have no additional details to announce, we're excited to confirm that media and customers will see the new 2017 Encore at next month's New York Auto Show. The Encore joins the Cascada convertible, Envision crossover, and LaCrosse sedan as the fourth new product arriving in Buick showrooms this year," Fowle said to Autoblog. Expect the 2017 Encore to have its own twist on the the Mokka's (now called the Mokka X) exterior styling, and spy shots hint the Buick has a new front end with a smaller grille. The Encore could benefit from the Opel's redesigned dashboard, which integrates the infotainment system into the center stack. It's a very attractive change, and we hope to see the switch in the US. The Mokka X also gets improved safety tech. The German compact CUV now sports adaptive LED headlights that adjust to traffic. US law doesn't allow these intelligent parts, but the Encore might get dumber LED lights. The Opel's improved front-mounted camera also increases the traffic sign detection rate. The Mokka X is available with the updated powertrain from the Encore Sport Touring, so there might not be any engine upgrades for the Buick. Buick needs to keep the Encore fresh, as the compact CUV is the brand's best selling model. It delivered 67,549 of them in 2015, a 38.2-percent jump over the previous year. The popularity continued into January 2016 with 4,920 deliveries – up 42 percent. Related Video:
