1949 Buick Roadmaster series 70 Sedanet
This 1949 Buick Roadmaster series 70 Sedanet was recently recovered from a yard in Tucson, Arizona where it had sat for 30 years.
Luckily- it was set on blocks to keep it off of the ground. As the tires
deteriorated the blocks kept the occupant and trunk floors from touching the
ground. The car is uncommonly rust free even for an Arizona car of it’s age.
The floors, rockers, fenders, door jambs etc. are very solid, original and free
of penetrating corrosion. The only obvious rust damage areas are a small hole
ahead of the passenger’s door at mid body level, and a small area on the inside
of the driver’s side rear fender at the leading edge of the fender skirt (see
pics). The car looks to have had one re-paint in a non- original color. The
green areas visible look to be the original Allendale Green paint, and the
contrasting tan is part of a color change somewhere in the car’s past. The
original paint is visible in the door, trunk and hood jambs. There is no evidence of any major collision damage or repair
although there are some minor dents and dings. The car is very complete and the
bright work is all there. Some of the trim pieces are in need of straightening
and the bumpers will need re-plated for a full restoration. But most of the
major trim pieces are in excellent condition. Most of the glass has delaminated
and the driver’s door glass is cracked. Interior is what is left of the
original upholstery and will need to be redone- but all the interior trim is
there- moldings, door handles, dash knobs and switches- and are in excellent
condition. Mechanically, the car is complete. It has the correct (and likely original) straight eight 320 cubic inch motor with Dynaflow transmission. For some reason, the valve cover was left off the motor ( and probably had been for decades) and the hood was left open- there was some water in the crankcase that may have been introduced externally. Condition of the motor is unknown and it has not been rotated. Due to the close proximity of the radiator to the balancer, it is not possible to put a breaker on the crankshaft w/o removing the radiator. And based on the water being found in the crankcase, I will advertise the car as needing a motor rebuild. All other mechanical s are that to be found on a vehicle that is 65 years old and has been sitting for 3 decades- but at least in a dry climate! A brand new set of tires were put on to move the vehicle to Phoenix from Tucson. There are some extra pieces- hubcaps, additional wheels, a spot light and some miscellaneous items. The keys are missing. If you have been searching for this particular Buick model
for a restoration, hot rod build or a rat-rod build- this is an excellent
choice. I cannot stress too strongly how solid and basically straight this car
is. The money saved by not having to replace floors, rockers or sheet metal
makes this car an exceptional value- not to mention the value of having
original non-patched and non-repaired steel. I invite and encourage any interested party to contact me
for more pictures. I have over 100 pics of the undercarriage and will take pics
of any particular area of interest on the vehicle. This is a great car but I
don’t want to misrepresent it in any way- if you have a question, ask! J It is also available
for inspection locally in Scottsdale, Arizona- please contact me to arrange an
appointment to take a look at it. As the vehicle is for sale locally, seller reserves the right to end the auction at any time. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding! |

2013 Buick Verano Turbo
Thu, 03 Jan 2013Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.
Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met
Sat, May 9 2015After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.
