I purchased this car from the original owner (a non smoker) a year and a half ago, on eBay. I bought it because it was low miles, mechanically OK, the right colors and the right price because of cosmetic issues. My plan was to repaint the White, only in those areas needing it, switch Tailgates (one on car has a dent) change out the Carpets and Headliner. And for the fun of it, the rest of my plan was to make it look like an Oldsmobile Wagon... by changing the Wheels, Hubcaps, Grill and Hood Emblem... eBay provided these... the Grill and Four Hubcaps are NOS. I have restored the five Oldsmobile wheels and painted the NOS Hubcaps to match. And you can have these with the purchase of the car.

The biggest issue the car had was easily taken care of with a replacement front bumper cover (it was white) from Pic N Pull. Also from there, and included with car is... a really nice Tailgate, L. front Fender (maybe not needed), Rear Bumper cover, Pair of factory rear Resonators and tail pipes (car has funky replacements), and some other small parts. Three of the windows (driver window OK) need new Composite Glides, a common failure... included are these parts new from an eBay seller.

The car has scrapes on the right lower of both Doors and Quarter panel, and some out of fit at the bottom of the left front Fender (that's why a replacement Fender)... otherwise a very straight clean car. Interior is still very nice, seats are beautiful and delightfully cozy with no signs of damage, dash is nice, side panels OK, but they have small chip outs at the door Handle area (common to these cars). Carpets need replacing and the Headliner is coming loose along the edges of the Quarter windows.

I have quite a bit of time in this project and spent 4.5K. Been a car guy since 1962 when I bought my first car, a 1947 Mercury Woodie, spent most of my adult life restoring Woodies professionally, most have brought there owners immense joy winning top prizes at car shows. I love these Roadmasters like my beloved Woodies... they are the epitome of all wagons, so cool! But I am moving on to other adventures, and simply giving up this hobby, after so many years at it, for other interests. Hopefully someone else will love this car back to its glory and into useful service.

I have not Titled this car, it is still in its original owners Alabama Title, I do have a good looking Bill of sale from him to me. and will do same for you.

Please call with questions. My cell 530 388 8950... Alan Vivanco

GM reports third straight sales drop in China in 2020

Wed, Jan 6 2021

BEIJING — General Motors' vehicle sales in China fell 6.2% in 2020, as the U.S. automaker suffered a prolonged slowdown in the world's biggest auto market. GM, China's second biggest foreign automaker, delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, the company said on Wednesday, for a third straight decline in annual sales. But sales have been recovering in the second half of last year, up 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months. GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicle brands are made. It also has another Liuzhou-based venture, with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of its Buick brand grew 4% on the year and Wuling rose 9%, the statement said. Luxury brand Cadillac's sales increased 8%. Sales of GM's more affordable Baojun brand dropped 33% last year, while sales of its mass-market Chevrolet tumbled 30%. GM's delivery of 2.9 million vehicles in China follows 3.09 million vehicles in 2019, 3.65 million vehicles in 2018, and 4.04 million in 2017, for a three-year decrease of 28%.

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
