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 Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions
Sat, 01 Mar 2014With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket
Fri, 27 Dec 2013General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.
