1951 Buick Roadmaster Convertible on 2040-cars
Spring, Texas, United States
1951 Buick Roadmaster Convertible It breaks my heart to have to sell this Unique Specimen of Automotive Art. I have owned this car for many years as I purchased it from a Widow Lady whose father purchased it new in 1951. She told about the day her father went to pick the car up at the Buick Dealership. She was the oldest and luckiest of five siblings as she got to go with her father to pick up the car. She remembers how her Dad put the Convertible top down and her long hair went all directions in the breeze. As she grew older her father let her drive the car in the Homecoming Parades. She recently passed but I cherish the stories she related to me of her long lasting love for the Roadmaster. When her father passed the car was left to her and her husband. In 1992 her husband passed but only after a ten year swap meet effort to find as many NOS parts as he could for his ongoing restoration of the vehicle. And he did. NOS Rear Fenders, Stainless Steel Moldings and numerous other items. He had a new interior of Red and White made for the car by a Company in Chicago. They did a fine job. I have the completed door panels and everything else that goes with the interior. All new weather stripping and many many extra parts. All of the chrome has been redone and the bumpers put back together ready for installation. The motor purrs like a kitten. I recall my dad who was a dyed in the wool Buick Connoisseur telling me that he could tune a Straight Eight Buick Engine to keep a quarter standing on its end during acceleration. Those Pierce Arrows didn't have a thing on a Buick he would say. Due to health issues of my own I am forced to sell this awesome motor car. I never got the time to put it back together. I did the brakes and a few other things and often drove it around the block for exercise, even without the front fenders on. I am told that the motor was rebuilt during the restoration endeavor. I have kept the car and all of the parts in a Climate Controlled environment. Look at the pictures close and either email me at daveglassel@gmail.com Text or call me at 832 533 7767 I am asking $25,000 for the car FOB Houston, Texas. I can arrange delivery if need be.

New GM subcompact SUV spied, could be a Chevy or GMC
Mon, Aug 13 2018GM's pair of subcompact crossovers have been trundling along for a while now. The Buick Encore was the first for Americans in the 2013 model year, and the Chevy Trax that was based on the Encore (an encore of the Encore, if you will) arrived for the 2015 model year. Each has undergone a mild update, but these spy photos could indicate their replacements are in the works. Or not. For starters, we can't be sure which GM brand this new SUV is destined for. Though the timing and its flowing lines could indicate Buick, the thick horizontal bars visible in the grille would indicate otherwise. The next Encore being at least related to this is at least a possibility. Making the case for GMC are those thick grille bars, the fact that it extends far below the lights, and may even rise above them, similar to the Acadia. And that rising beltline isn't that different from that of the Acadia. Arguing against the GMC idea is the Encore, which is almost always sold in GMC-Buick combo dealers. Much as the Acadia was made smaller to eliminate confusion and in-house competition with the Enclave, it's hard to see GM opting to resurrect such an issue at the bottom end of the SUV market. That means we're leaning toward this little SUV wearing a Chevy bowtie. The split grille with a large lower section and small upper section is the brand's current design language, as seen on the new Malibus and Cruzes. The shape is vaguely Equinox-like. And like Buick, Chevy also has a subcompact crossover ready for replacement: the Trax. Now, our photographer reports he's seen another subcompact testing that has Blazer design cues, but in this crossover-hungry market, we wouldn't be surprised if two similarly sized but differently styled Chevy crossovers make the grade. It's a strategy that's working pretty well for Jeep. We'll no doubt be seeing more of these disguised test vehicles milling about the country in the coming months, so perhaps we'll eventually get a better idea of what this is before more official information starts trickling out within one or two years.

U.S. new-vehicle sales in 2018 rise slightly to 17.27 million [UPDATE]
Thu, Jan 3 2019DETROIT — Sales of new vehicles in the U.S. rose slightly in 2018, defying predictions and highlighting a strong economy. Automakers reported an increase of 0.3 percent over a year ago to 17.27 million vehicles. The increase came despite rising interest rates, a volatile stock market, and rising car and truck prices that pushed some buyers out of the new-vehicle market. Industry analysts and automakers said strong economic fundamentals pushed up sales and should keep them near historic highs in 2019. "Economic conditions in the U.S. are favorable and should continue to be supportive of vehicle sales at or around their current run rate," Ford Chief Economist Emily Kolinski Morris said after the company and other automakers announced their sales numbers Thursday. That auto sales remain near the 2016 record of 17.55 million is a testimonial to the strength of the economy, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. The job market, he said, has created new employment, and wage growth has accelerated. "That's fundamental to selling anything," he said. "If there are lots of jobs and people are getting bigger paychecks, they will buy more." The unemployment rate is 3.7 percent, a 49-year low. The economy is thought to have grown close to 3 percent last year, its best performance in more than a decade. Consumers, the main driver of the economy, are spending freely. The Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate four times in 2018 but is only expected to raise it twice this year. Auto sales also were helped by low gasoline prices and rising home values, Zandi said. It all means that people are likely to keep buying new vehicles this year even as they grow more expensive. The Edmunds.com auto-pricing site estimates that the average new vehicle price hit a record $35,957 in December, about 2 percent higher than the previous year. It will be harder for automakers to keep the sales pace above 17 million because they have been enticing buyers for several years now with low-interest financing and other incentives, Zandi said. He predicts more deals in the coming year as job growth slows and credit tightens for higher-risk buyers. Edmunds, which provides content, including automotive tips and reviews, for distribution by The Associated Press, predicts that sales will drop this year to 16.9 million.
