 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

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards

Thu, Jan 15 2015

The annual EyesOn Design Awards at the Detroit Auto Show allows some of the greatest designers in the world to weigh in on the best production and concept debuts at the big event each year. For 2015, the large panel of judges included luminaries like Frank Stephenson of McLaren, Ralph Gilles from FCA and Moray Callum of Ford. Apparently the editors at Autoblog had a good eye because the winner of 2015's Best Designed Production Vehicle award went to the Ford GT, which was also our favorite debut from the show. The new supercar beat the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe for the honor. The judges described the Blue Oval's shape as "capturing the original GT40 in a modern interpretation," according to EyesOn Design. The Buick Avenir was also a big winner in the awards this year and received the nods for both Best Designed Concept Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials. In the concept category, it beat out the Chevrolet Bolt and Mercedes-Benz F 015, and in the latter group, the sedan triumphed over Audi Q7, Mercedes F 015 and Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE. The Q7 received its own accolade for Best Designed Interior, and it beat the Avenir and Infiniti Q60 for the honor. This year's Lifetime Design Achievement Award went to former Renault designer Patrick le Quement, and Bob Lutz received the EyesOn Design Catalyst Award for the second time. The honor is for an executive "who has empowered great design," according to the organization, which describes Lutz perfectly. Scroll down to read the announcement with more comments about the winners.

The awards honor the most significant automotive designs revealed at NAIAS as determined by the North American and global leaders of design from automotive manufacturers, along with academic chairs of transportation design programs and design leaders from other fields.
