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.

GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales
Wed, 12 Nov 2014General Motors is laying off about 510 workers from two factories beginning in January, and it could be months before the automaker needs some of that latent capacity to come back on line. A combination of poor sales and high dealer inventories are prompting the cutbacks, according to Automotive News.
The largest changes come at GM's Lansing Grand River plant, where the Cadillac ATS and CTS are made. An entire shift of about 350 workers is being laid off, but the automaker hopes to find positions for some of them at other nearby factories. The decision leaves just a single shift building vehicles there. According to Automotive News, the move is partially spurred by Johan de Nysschen's plan to make Cadillac a more exclusive brand.
The lost shift will likely return for production of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro at the plant, according to the report, but GM isn't saying when that will be. A previous announcement from the Canadian Auto Workers union indicated that the Oshawa, Ontario, factory would lose the coupe in late 2015 or early 2016.
GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect
Sat, Sep 29 2018BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

2018 Buick Regal Sportback First Drive Review | Eyes wide shut
Wed, Dec 20 2017AUSTIN, Texas—Barreling along the tight backroads of Austin's Hill Country, my driving partner was coming in a little hot. Usually, beads of sweat would have appeared by now, hand crushing the grab handle. On roads such as this one, which are barely a car and a half wide, unusual confidence in the car is essential. But even with eyes closed (from the passenger's seat), it felt as if I was riding in an Audi, not in a product that shares its roots with the Chevrolet Malibu. This is a very good thing for Buick. It's unusually planted and stable, almost Germanic in nature. There's no traditional sedan available on these shores, which begs the question: Did the new Regal have to be a hatchback? Nope. Buick sells a traditional four-door Regal in China. The Regal Sportback, which is built in Russelsheim, Germany, is a European take on the sedan, in the vein of the recent proliferation of four-door "coupes" from all sorts of car manufacturers. It's far more versatile than most stylized sedans, however, with a wide opening that can swallow a full-size bicycle with both wheels on. Really—we tried it. There is an alternative to the hatchback, although it won't please sedan purists: the Regal TourX, a wagon in all but name. The 310-hp Regal GS isn't far away, either, and a luxe Regal Avenir is likely to appear. A hybridized Regal eAssist is also a possibility. Alas, the Regal nameplate is unlikely to reappear on a two-door coupe, according to a Buick spokesperson. The closest analogy for the Regal Sportback is the recently departed Volkswagen CC, in both form and function. From the quarter angles, the Regal Sportback has hints of the last-generation BMW 5 Series. Dead on from the front, or in your rearview mirror, there is more than a hint of the Audi shield grille. The LED headlight signature is distinctly European in style, but vaguely defined. Dynamically, the front-wheel-drive Regal Sportback is a match for the Audi A4/A5 Sportback duo. The smooth, turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four is a formidable powerplant, particularly when paired with the nine-speed automatic transmission. Its 250-horsepower output is a close match for Audi's engine of the same displacement. All-wheel drive is offered on the top two trim levels, Preferred II and Essence, as an option, paired with an eight-speed automatic. A trick differential that can direct torque to individual wheels, in addition to splitting it front and rear, is standard on the AWD models.
