Up for auction is my 1984 Buick Electra Hearse. This is a Sayers and Scoville (S&S) conversion and is in excellent shape for a 30 year old car. I've owned the car for about two months and it has been my daily driver for that time. I purchased the car locally and have made several 100+ mile trips with no problems whatsoever. I own several hearses and am running out of room for the Buick. Anyway, the body of the car is in excellent shape for the year. There is no rust on the car as it was undercoated previously. The paint is okay, but there is some cracking of the paint on the hood and a few touchups here and there. Again, this is a fully functional car that goes down the road just fine. The vinyl top is really nice with no cracks, tears, or peeling anywhere. All of the power windows work and the driver's door has a new window motor which I installed. There are no leaks of any kind along the windshield or any other window. The interior is virtually flawless in front and back. It includes the pins that hold the casket in place as well. The engine is the 5.0 liter V-8 with a carburetor. These aren't known for having lightning speed or power but it runs flawlessly with no noises of any kind. The car currently has 76,835 miles on it. The air conditioning works and has been converted to the newer coolant. It does blow cold air, but should have a can or two of coolant added. The brakes are good with no squealing. Tires are in great shape with about 3/4 of the tread life left. The oil was recently changed as well. Every light works including the S&S trademark coach lamps on the side of the car. There a couple of issues that you should know about. There is a bit of rust along the tops of the back side doors. One of my other hearses has this as well. It doesn't leak, but I would have it repaired. I took a photo of that and I hope it shows as I want to be completely honest here. There is also a crack at the very bottom of the windshield on the driver's side. There is a photo of that as well. It does not leak, and since it's at the very bottom, it does not in any way hamper your vision. Also, the car does not have commercial glass in it, so if you had the windshield replaced you could use a stock windshield. The cruise control does not work. The hood ornament is also missing. As far as I know of the history of the vehicle, it came from Pennsylvania. It was purchased by the previous owner a few years back from the funeral home. The car has been kept in a garage and was well taken care of. This would make a great vehicle for Halloween and also for a daily driver. I live in the Saginaw, Michigan area, and if you are reasonably close, I'm sure we could work something out on getting the vehicle to you. I'd be willing to help out any way I can, otherwise the winning bidder will be responsible for transporting the vehicle. Thanks for looking and bidding on a nice S&S Buick Electra Hearse.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
