UP for bid is a 1966 Buick Electra 225 Convertible. The car has not been driven regularly in some time so prior to putting this vehicle on the road it should be gone over. Exterior: The car was painted a few years ago with lacquer after it was stripped down as the paint was checked. There was some minor surface rust and a hole in the bottom of the drivers rear quarter panel and the bottom of the drivers front fender. Both spots had the rust cut out and a metal patch welded in. Other then that the bumpers are driver condition and the trim is the same. The paint is fair and could stand to unpolished up. It does have some minor defects as it was done by a novice. There are a few pieces that are off the car one is the hood molding ( it is pitted badly that's why I didn't put it back on, the drivers side chrome needs to be put on, and the two rear quarter pieces need to be put on. Also the rear fender skirts need to be painted ( I have extra paint from when the car was painted that goes with the car). The trunk floor is mostly solid but has the usual rust spots where the mounts are behind the rear axle. Interior: The interior is in good shape and is mostly original except for the drivers area as it was fixed some time in the cars life. The carpet needs be shampooed. The dash is the worst of all with cracks in the center. The convertible top works great and goes up and down without a problem BUT THE MATERIAL ON THE TOP IS SHOT! It will need a top which cost between $800 and $1,000. I also have a door rubber kit that goes with the car. The windows also work as they should. Engine: The car needs a tune up since the wires and stuff are probably 30 years old but the car runs good. There is a new timing chain on the car and while doing that a new water pump was put on since it was already off. The AC pump works fine and there is a new battery in the car. The previous owner said that the heater core was leaking and bypassed it. This is not a show car by any means. It will be a great driver with a little work for someone to enjoy. The car is also advertised locally so if it sells the auction will be stopped. It is also being sold AS/IS WHERE/IS and will not be released until the car is paid for in full. If you have any questions please ask.

Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore.
Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013.
According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.).
Buick Envision aces IIHS crash tests
Tue, Sep 27 2016If you had any qualms about the safety of a Chinese-built car, set them aside. At least when it comes to the Buick Envision. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has tested the new GM crossover and it passed with flying colors. The Envision is the first Chinese-built Buick sold in the States, and it's also the first Chinese-built car the organization has ever tested. In what is an impressive feat for any new automobile, it earned the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating. This means the crossover comes equipped with a forward collision warning system and earned "Good" marks in all types of collisions, including the difficult small overlap crash test. In addition to the forward collision warning system, an automatic emergency braking system is available on the Envision. Eleven other vehicles earned the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, including models from Volvo, Lincoln, Acura, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus and Infiniti. That's good company, and combined with a pleasant, if not world-beating, driving experience, should make the Envision a car worth consideration. Related Video:
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
