Here is a 1968 Buick Electra 225 Custom Convertible being sold at no reserve. The Odometer is currently at 35,406 miles and is increasing as I drive it around town. This car has the 430 cubic inch, 7 liter, 360 horsepower V8. This car runs great down the road, and had a transmission rebuild about 2500 miles ago. Coker Classic white wall bias tires ($185.00 each) adorn the original wheels. The interior is in good shape with some small blemishes here and there. The overall interior is in very good shape. This car will seat 6 comfortably and will be a great cruiser to your local car show, or just a ride to the beach. The mechanism for the convertible top works great and the power top goes up and down with no problems at all. The convertible top needs to be repaired or replaced due to the rear window having come out. The convertible boot is included, but has some imperfections and could be replaced as well. I looked online and the prices range from $199 for just the top to around $500 for the complete kit. The rear window is currently out of the car, but the original glass will be included with the sale. I would recommend a front end alignment for this car. I drove it recently on the freeway, and there is a slight wobble between 45 and 55 miles per hour. The radio is not original to the car. The engine is strong and starts up like it should and runs down the road very nicely. The dual exhaust sounds great and the car gets many comments, smiles and waves. Please see the video to see what it is like to drive this great piece of history. This car is being sold with no reserve, so the highest bid will buy this car! Due to the year, I am selling this 1968 Buick with no warranty. Please let me know if you need any additional pictures and I will do my best to get them out to you. Vehicle to be sold with Bill of Sale, CT does not issue titles for vehicles of this age. Again, this car is being sold at no reserve, so the highest bid will take it home.

2022 Buick Envision Plus three-row crossover is like an Envision, plus

Wed, Apr 7 2021

Buick exited the sedan segment when it axed the Regal, but it's going all-in on crossovers and SUVs. It released a dark preview image that gives us an early look at a three-row family-hauler named Envision Plus. Announced only for the Chinese market as of writing, the Envision Plus is — as its name implies — positioned above the Envision in the company's range, though it's smaller than the Enclave. It's mechanically related to the crossover it shares its nameplate with, but it appears to receive a specific design with a new-look front bumper and a more upright grille. It also wears a boxier silhouette that allowed Buick to add a third row of seats. Extra seating aside, we expect the Plus will offer an interior close to the standard Envision's, which we described as "a scaled-down take on the Enclave's interior" in February 2021. Similarly, Buick will likely offer the Envision Plus with the same turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder as the smaller model. It produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and it spins the front or the four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. Buick will release more details about the 2022 Envision Plus in the coming weeks, and it will unveil the model at the 2021 edition of the Shanghai auto show opening its doors on April 21. While the company hasn't confirmed plans to sell its latest crossover in its home market, we wouldn't be surprised if it arrives here before the end of 2021. Auto shows were put on hiatus in 2020, at the height of the on-going coronavirus pandemic, and the upcoming Shanghai show is the first major industry event in over a year. In addition to the Buick people-mover, we'll discover Toyota's first global electric car. It will arrive as a near-production concept close in size to the hot-selling RAV4.

Reuss says Cadillac CT6-based Buick could happen

Wed, Apr 15 2015

Could the upcoming Cadillac CT6 and its Omega platform spawn a Buick variant? According to General Motors' product chief Mark Reuss, it could potentially be in the cards, but "not yet." "We're working on that," Reuss told Automotive News at the 2015 New York Auto Show. While there hasn't been a large, rear-drive Buick on dealerships since the Roadmaster in 1996, the company gave a big hint that it could head in that direction with the Avenir Concept, shown earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show. As Automotive News explains, a rear-drive Omega-platform Buick could be a real hit in China, where consumers buy 13 Buicks for every one Cadillac. That move would be a big help to GM's bottom line, too, as it'd significantly increase the Omega platform's economy of scale. If a large Buick based on the CT6 were to head to China, though, it likely wouldn't be a simple case of badge engineering (thank God). Reuss hinted to Automotive News that while the mixed-material construction of the CT6 platform "is very flexible," doing an "identical version of that platform or not is a different conversation." What are your thoughts? Should Buick adopt the Omega platform for an Avenir-based sedan? Should that vehicle be sold here in the US, or should it be a China-only offering? Have your say in Comments.
