This is a nice Buick Electra that is basically a one owner. I got it from the gentleman's estate that purchased this car new in 1979. I've driven it some recently basically taking my kids for a ride. My kids are little and they like riding in a car that actually has some room in the back seat.
The good stuff: From what I can tell the car has been taken care of over the years. It runs and drives without any issues. The interior is in good shape with no tears/rips or discoloration besides the issue noted below with the dash.
The bad stuff: The car was wrecked in the front left corner. The quarter panel, bumper, light and grill are messed up. On the dash there is a small hole (can be seen in picture), the bumper saver(?) is missing on passenger side back bumper. Also under the top you can tell that there is rust under it, but I don't know the extent. The A.C. runs with it blowing semi-cold air, but I believe it needs to be recharged.
I'm trying to point out as many issues that I've noticed as possible. Overall it's a nice looking and driving car without any serious issues.
In the pictures you can tell one of the rims doesn't match, but the matching rim is in the truck as the spare.
Someone did ask me about the clock to verify it was still running. It does run, but I have not checked it for how accurate it keeps time. They told me these cars sometimes have electrical problems and when the clock stops running is the first sign something is going bad. I have no idea, but wanted to mention it.
Just an FYI: I did have this listed on Craiglist for sometime a couple of weeks ago. I had a number of people that were interested and stated they wanted it, but nobody ever showed up. Since my experience with Craigslist was not positive I've decided to put it on eBay to sell. I will not end the auction early and it will sell to the high bidder.
I will be unable a few days next week, but I will try to work with you if you want to come take a look at. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thank you

2016 Buick Cascada convertible isn't afraid of Detroit's snow
Mon, Jan 12 2015It's the great irony of introducing a convertible in Detroit – while the assembled media might look at the car and imagine warm weather and clear skies, the atmosphere outside is anything but. Such was the case Sunday as Buick rolled out the 2016 Cascada in Detroit's Eastern Market. Snow didn't dampen the atmosphere, though, as we clapped eyes on the sleek, Astra-based convertible for the first time. While this is far from the first product Buick has borrowed from General Motors' European operations, unlike previous vehicles, changes for the Cascada were kept to a minimum. There is no waterfall grille or four-way portholes, which Buick was sure to install when converting the Insignia and Mokka to the Regal and Encore. Then again, neither of these styling treatments were really necessary, as the Cascada remains a handsome and stylish offering. Its cabin is typical of other Buicks, and features a few too many buttons on the center stack. Still, a thick-rimmed, flat-bottomed steering wheel, similar to what's found in the Verano, is both attractive and functional, while the perforated leather seats looks quite comfortable, as well. Take a look at our gallery of live images, which includes shots of the Cascada with the top up and down, and then head back to our original post on the new convertible for all the mechanical details.
Jay Leno finds no detail neglected on Icon's Derelict 1948 Buick Super
Wed, Apr 1 2015Jonathan Ward seems to have one of the greatest jobs in the world. As the CEO at Icon, he's in charge of not only the company's fantastic trucks but its Derelict series of semi-restored classics, as well. Ward's vehicles are no strangers to Jay Leno's Garage, but the latest guest on the show might be one of Icon's coolest yet. What looks like a 1948 Buick Super Convertible on the outside hides the supercharged heart of a Corvette ZR1 underneath. Like the rest of the Derelict series, this old Buick's toasted paint and pitted chrome are all part of the charm of the car, and it's really a case of beauty being more than skin deep. The Super rides on a custom chassis and suspension to make the convertible a far better driver than even a pristine original example. Plus, Ward hides all sorts of modern upgrades inside that are practically invisible until he points them out. Leno absolutely falls in love with driving the Derelict Buick. If his enthusiasm grabs you, the video below from Ward goes much deeper into the build process of this awesome project.
Buick: Odell Beckham Jr.
Mon, Feb 8 2016An Opel droptop in Buick drag crashes a wedding. No one's quite sure who made the Cascada, but Emily Ratajkowski definitely got the bouquet. She channels Odell Beckham Jr., laying out to make the catch – and conveniently Beckham is actually there to jokingly shoot her down. Did Buick nail this one, or was it (as Beckham quips) "out of bounds?" Let us know.
