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.

Buick to kill Verano as early as 2017
Mon, May 9 2016The Buick Verano's days are allegedly numbered. Citing unnamed sources, Automotive News is reporting that Buick will kill its Delta-platform-based sedan. The company offered the typical "no comment." According to AN, Buick is expecting 70 percent of its sales to come from the Encore, Envision, and Enclave once the Envision goes on sale. And it doesn't take a professor of economics to recognize that when half the vehicles you build account for just 30 percent of the sales, it's time to trim. But the case for killing the Verano is a weird one, because the problem isn't a lack of demand. Struggling sales might be the reason to kill a car, but the Verano is – and has consistently been – Buick's second best-selling sedan. It's beaten the slightly larger, more expensive Regal by at least 12,000 units in each of the last four years. Hell, in 2013, Buick sold 45,000 Veranos to fewer than 19,000 Regals. So why not kill the Regal? Well, the Verano's raison d'etre is irrelevant today. Buick launched its smallest sedan at a time when premium compact four-doors weren't a thing and gas prices were high enough that consumers were still hesitant to tie themselves to a CUV's fuel bill. And while it was roughly the same size as the Chevrolet Cruze that it shared GM's Delta platform with, it had enough unique equipment to stand apart and warrant its price premium. Today, fuel prices are cheap and consumers are flocking to crossovers while Buick is stuck sharing the premium compact pie with much more prestigious names ( Mercedes-Benz and Audi). And because it's sharing showroom space with the super-popular Encore, even the Verano's affordable pricing has become a liability. Today, a lightly equipped Verano is the same price as a base Encore, and they offer broadly similar features (rear-view cameras, a seven-inch touchscreen with Intellilink, Bluetooth, etc.). And if the Encore is too small, there's probably a GMC Terrain sitting in the same showroom, offering more utility and equal equipment to the Verano for a similar price. As one dealer told AN, "For not much more money, customers can get an SUV." Killing the Verano might risk 30,000 to 40,000 sales, but it's a move that proves Buick has tremendous confidence in its CUV lineup – clearly the company thinks the Encore can do the job of luring customers into showrooms. AN's sources claim the Verano will survive through 2017, so we'll be waiting a few years to find out if that faith is misplaced. Related Video:
GM reports third straight sales drop in China in 2020
Wed, Jan 6 2021BEIJING — General Motors' vehicle sales in China fell 6.2% in 2020, as the U.S. automaker suffered a prolonged slowdown in the world's biggest auto market. GM, China's second biggest foreign automaker, delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, the company said on Wednesday, for a third straight decline in annual sales. But sales have been recovering in the second half of last year, up 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months. GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicle brands are made. It also has another Liuzhou-based venture, with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of its Buick brand grew 4% on the year and Wuling rose 9%, the statement said. Luxury brand Cadillac's sales increased 8%. Sales of GM's more affordable Baojun brand dropped 33% last year, while sales of its mass-market Chevrolet tumbled 30%. GM's delivery of 2.9 million vehicles in China follows 3.09 million vehicles in 2019, 3.65 million vehicles in 2018, and 4.04 million in 2017, for a three-year decrease of 28%.
Buick teases the next-gen LaCrosse
Sat, Oct 31 2015Buick continues to play coy about the next-generation LaCrosse, but the latest teaser hints at a swoopy profile for the upcoming sedan. While mostly just a silhouette, the teaser does provide a glimpse of the flowing roof and upward crease around the rear fenders – especially handsome touches. The rest of the LaCrosse remains a mystery. The only other part that we've seen is the Avenir-inspired grille, which features a more angular surround and chrome wings jutting from emblem in the center. Styling aside, the brand claims that the sedan is now more engaging behind the wheel thanks to a stronger, lighter chassis and five-link rear suspension. Powertrain rumors are rather vague but suggest the 3.6-liter V6 will be available when the model arrives at dealers in 2016. One thing we know for certain about the LaCrosse is that it debuts at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. That only leaves a few more weeks for Buick to keep this mystery going. Related Video:
