Before I begin, I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a seven day auction, I reserve the right to end early.

You are bidding on a 1960 Buick Electra Convertible, iconic flagship of the Buick line. The classic lines and design of the 1960 certainly drives home the meaning of the phrase "They don't make them like they used to". Recently purchased from the 3rd owner of almost 20 years. 97,000 original miles. Original documentation and finished in the perfect convertible color of red and white. Description as follows

Mechanical:
-401 V8 / "445 Wildcat" (445 tq)
-Dual exhaust
-Automatic
-Power steering and brakes
-New wide white radials with polished factory caps
-Nicely detailed engine compartment

Interior:
-Factory bucket seat interior
-Nice two tone color combo
-Rare center console option
-Power driver's seat
-Clean dash and gauges, unique "Mirror-Matic" speedometer
-Nicely finished trunk with spare
-Trim code 849 maroon
-Aftermarket AM/FM Kenwood CD player
-Power windows

Exterior:
-Repainted to its original paint code LL1 Titian Red
-Nice white convertible top with matching parade boot
-Recently rechromed front and rear bumpers
-Well maintained older repaint, shows and shines well. Few minor nicks and chips

Couple things to add: Original lower chrome trim was removed during repaint and prior owner preferred the look without them (and I tend to agree) However, I do have the lower trim that will go with the car should the buyer choose to reinstall. Power top electric motor is tired out. Could be replaced, but works really well manually.

Please take the time to review all the pics and don't hesitate to call for further questions: 517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed MI dealer.

GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

General 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.

2013 Buick Enclave

GM's Flagship Lambda Is (Still) A Smooth Operator
Consumers shopping for a domestic full-size crossover have heard all about GM's triplets. The Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave are a very appealing and talented group of siblings. Entering their fifth year of production, albeit middle-age in the automotive industry, each is attractive, well-rounded and very capable on the paved dance floor. While all share nearly identical base DNA and the same basic running gear, subtle physical differences and unique personalities emerge between the trio when one digs a bit deeper.
The most polished of the threesome, without question, is the Enclave from Buick. Fresh off a mid-cycle update (as are its siblings), the flagship of the platform boasts a facelift, innovative new features and an upgraded demeanor for the new model year.

2013 Buick Encore

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.
