Firstly, the car is a 77.5K original mile California Car. I bought it from the second owner in Arizona. The car was optioned out and was meticulously garaged and cared for by both owners. The car runs and looks great! It’s 300 miles into it's rebuilt original 401 cu. in. 6.6L V8 produces 280 hp. Drives better than a '63 Caddy and or Oldsmobile AND really rare and cooler. Great native survivor. Original options include the rare magnum style factory wheels which absolutely make the car. I was told only 260 '63 LeSabres were optioned with these wheels. I bring it to Coffee and Cars in Palos Verdes and it gathers nearly as many people and photographers as $1 Million+ Gullwing Mercedes and the other poster cars there. Many are excited to see a LeSabre convertible for the first time or get to see a great example again since childhood. The brakes, steering, motor, are all in top notch condition. I live in the hills and need those things to be perfect with two little kid passengers. The upholestry and convertible top are 3 months old and perfect! The dash pad has even been redone too! The chrome on the car is bright near perfect original. Best of all is the paint is high quality PPG and 3 months old and perfect! There isn't a blemish on the paint. I can't find a bit of rust. There are no swirls, chips, pits, bubbles, cracks, runs or anything wrong with the exterior paint. The only problems I could find are the new power antenna was never hooked up and the air doesn't blow very hard. I've never needed either though because it's only been driven in So. Cal with the top down. Overall I'd give the car a 8.5 out of 10. Please feel free to contact to schedule a test drive. I reserve the right to end the option at any time as the car is advertised elsewhere and I have friends trying to trade cars for it. The car is part of a larger collection (mostly Mopar) kept at the Torrance airport most of the year. I have had my fun and now it is time to thin the herd and rotate the collection. This has been fun to cruise to Hollywood, car shows and pick the kids up from school. I am willing to lose some of my investment knowing I had my fun and the car will live on another 50 years.

Here's a small Youtube video I took near my house showing how smoothly and quietly the car climbs the hills and handles corners: youtube.com/watch?v=Grm858azkQw

Buick, Lexus top J.D. Power survey, as vehicle service improves overall

Fri, Mar 17 2017

Buick and Lexus returned to their customary place atop J.D. Power's scorecard of satisfaction with dealership service departments. In the Customer Service Index Study, out Thursday, Buick scored 860 on a 1,000-point scale for mass-market brands and has topped this ranking in three of the past four years. Lexus topped the list of luxury brands with a score of 874. Fiat and Land Rover were the bottom-dwellers in the two categories. Buick and Lexus also ranked highly in the research company's overall Vehicle Dependability Study rankings out recently. The customer experience at car dealerships has improved steadily, with the overall industry score rising in seven of the past eight years. And one statistic is particularly remarkable: 94 percent of customers say their car was fixed right the first time. The dominant area of difficulty in repairs seems to be infotainment systems. Only 80 percent of respondents said their stereo was fixed right the first time. And in last month's Vehicle Dependability Study, J.D. Power reported that infotainment systems were the most commonly reported vehicle issue, accounting for 22 percent of all problems reported, up 2 percent from the previous year. J.D. Power surveyed 70,000 customers for the Customer Service Index Study. For the Vehicle Dependability Study, it surveyed 35,186 first owners of 2014 model-year vehicles after three years of ownership. Below are charts for both the current study and the complementary overall brand dependability survey. Related video:

GM expanding Lansing Lambda CUV plant

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Considering that crossovers are a rapidly growing portion of the US auto market, it's not surprising to hear that General Motors is preparing to build even more of them. The company is investing $63 million to expand its Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant that builds Lambda platform CUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave.
According to GM, the expansion will add roughly 263,000 extra square feet of space to the plant. Of that, 181,000 square feet will be for an updated body shop with cutting-edge robots. There will also be 54,000 square feet of additional room in the paint shop and 28,000 square feet of more area for general assembly.
GM isn't saying as much, but there is the possibility that this extra space could allow for additional models produced at the factory. Cadillac reportedly dropped plans to build a three-row SUV on the Lambda platform earlier this year, however, dealers for the luxury brand were recently pitched the possibility of adding large and small CUVs, an ATS convertible or a sedan below the ATS.
