1991 Buick Reatta Base Convertible 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Haughton, Louisiana, United States
This auction is for a 1991 Buick Reatta
convertible in mint condition. No
scratches, no dings. It only has 8,569
miles. It has new Michelin tires with
less than 500 miles on them. It has a
new Optima battery. The A/C has been
professionally converted to 134A refrigerant.
It comes with a custom car cover.
The original radio stopped working, so we replaced it with a GM factory
radio with CD player and equalizer. It
was a plug and play installation, so no wires were cut, and it sounds
awesome. As you can see from the
picture, the LED on the radio matches the other dash display perfectly. We’ll include the original non-working radio
in case you want to put it back to stock. The Buick Reatta
is a sport coupe designed by GM which was powered by a 3.8 liter V6. It was the
first car Buick advertised as a two-seater since the 1940 Buick model 46. It
was a handmade luxury sports coupe produced at the Lansing Craft Centre in
Lansing, Michigan and sold by the Buick division of American automaker General
Motors from early 1988 to 1991. Like the Cadillac Allant?, it was based on a
shortened version of the GM E platform used by the Cadillac Eldorado,
Oldsmobile Toronado and particularly the Buick Riviera, with which it shared
many mechanical parts, advanced electronics, and interior furnishings. The Reatta sported its own unique body style and was crafted with an attention to hand finishing uncommon for a mass-produced automobile. The assembly was performed at a small series of craft stations - each with a specialized team of workers, rather than a conventional assembly line. After a team had completed their portion of the assembly, the car would be moved by robots to the next station in the series. All of the paintwork was subcontracted to PPG Industries personnel - who performed the work on site. Every Reatta included a leather book containing the owner's manual and pen. In 1990 and 1991, a zippered owner’s folio was included. In addition to the owner’s manual, it also contained a "Craftsman's Log" with the signatures of the supervisors for the assembly of the car at the various craft stations.These slightly unusual items were an attempt to sell the mass-produced car as one built with individual care. This auction includes this owner’s folio. Also included is the original window sticker and a brochure for 1991 Buick cars and a CD about the Buick Reatta. This car was 1 of only 305 convertibles manufactured during the last year of production for the Reatta. This car comes from a smoke-free home and has been kept covered, in a garage. In my honest opinion, this car would satisfy any collector or someone looking for a new car. This car is being sold, as is, without a warranty. Shipping (both arranging and cost) is the responsibility of the Buyer. Local pickup is available. Upon completion of the auction, a deposit of $500 is due within 2 business days. Remainder of the purchase price is due within 7 days from close of auction. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to contact us. |

Wed, Jan 13 2016The Lexus LC 500 captured top honors for the best-designed production car and the best interior at the 10th annual EyesOn Design awards at the Detroit Auto Show. The awards are handed out by the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. The Buick Avista won the concept car category, just as its four-door predecessor, the Avenir, did last year. Other winners this year included the Chrysler Pacifica, which won for the best-designed production "truck" (as crossovers and minivans are sometimes categorized), and the Audi H-Tron Quattro, which won for the best concept truck. The Acura Precision concept was also recognized for its "innovative use of color, graphics, and materials." And the new Volvo S90 was singled out for its human-machine interface. The panel of jurists this year included designers from an array of automakers and art schools. Several past honorees for the organization's LifeTime Design Achievement Award participated in the voting, including GM's Wayne Cherry, BMW DesignworksUSA founder Chuck Pelly, Hyundai's Peter Schreyer, and Jack Telnack (formerly of Ford). Telnack also served on the select panel of chief judges this year, alongside Chris Chapman from Hyundai, Dave Marek from Acura, and Stewart Reed from the Art Center College of Design.

GM promises to add 20 EVs and fuel-cell cars to lineup, paid for by SUVs
Mon, Oct 2 2017DETROIT — General Motors outlined plans on Monday to add 20 new battery electric and fuel-cell vehicles to its global product lineup by 2023, financed by robust profits from sales of gasoline-fueled trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States and China. "General Motors believes in an all-electric future," GM global product development chief Mark Reuss said on Monday during a briefing at the company's suburban Detroit technical center. Future generations of GM electric vehicles "will be profitable," Reuss said, but added it was not clear when GM could make all its new vehicle offerings zero-emission electric cars. Regulators in China and some European countries have floated proposals to ban internal combustion engines by 2030 or 2040. "We will continue to make sure our internal combustion engines will get more and more efficient," Reuss said. GM shares were up more than 4 percent in midday New York trading on positive comments from Rod Lache, auto analyst at Deutsche Bank. Automakers, including electric vehicle market leader Tesla, lose money on electric cars because battery costs are still higher than comparable internal combustion engines. The company offered sneak peeks of three EV prototypes: a Buick SUV, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM funds its forays into new technology using a river of cash generated by old-technology vehicles popular with its core customer base in the United States heartland. In comparison, Tesla has burned through an estimated $10 billion in cash and has yet to show a full year profit. GM earned more than 90 percent of its $12.5 billion in pretax profits last year in North America, amid robust demand for its lineup of large sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The company's profitable operations in China rely on consumer demand for an expanding lineup of gasoline powered SUVs. GM has previously announced plans to make some of its future electric vehicles capable of driving themselves in robot taxi fleets. The company offered sneak peeks of three electric vehicle prototypes: a Buick brand sport utility vehicle, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM collaborated with Korean battery maker LG Chem to build the Bolt battery system. Company officials did not say what companies would supply batteries for the larger fleet of vehicles promised by 2023. Fuel-cell vehicles will also play a role in GM's future, the company said.
Hertz and GM team up to put 175,000 rental EVs on the road
Tue, Sep 20 2022Hertz and General Motors have announced a significant partnership that will send up to 175,000 electric vehicles into rental fleets across the country. The deal will unfold over the next five years and include vehicles from all GM brands. Â The partnership will run through 2027. Hertz estimates that the electric fleet can save as many as 8 billion gasoline-powered miles, removing 1.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions from the air. Hertz says it will invest in becoming the largest renter of EVs in North America and notes that it already has tens of thousands available at 500 locations in 38 states. By the end of 2024, it plans to electrify a quarter of its fleet. Electric rental cars are a great way for travelers wanting to avoid gas, and they make excellent urban commuter cars. Hertz will also likely save a few dollars by avoiding oil changes and other routine maintenance that gas engines need. However, a hidden societal benefit of this deal may come when Hertz’s EV rental customers begin shopping for new cars. Many people are skeptical of EVs for various reasons, including range, charging, ease of operation, and cost. Giving people a low-risk introduction to EVs and the ability to test-drive one without a pressuring salesperson could drive more people to electrics. At the same time, there's also the risk that renters wanting to take their Hertz-GM EV on a road trip into sparsely populated areas may return with charging and range-related horror stories. Hertz currently doesnÂ’t ask what youÂ’re planning to do with your rental, but it does offer a chat service for questions, and range information is presented clearly on each vehicle.
