1968 Buick Skylark Convertible
A real no excuses car. Owned since June 1988 by a very active Buick Club member, this car has been used in countless tours and driven to numerous shows all over the USA and meticulously maintained. A superb road car that has proven itself on many road trips. A local car from new, it is believed to have had just 3-4 owners from new. The body was done over in the 80’s retaining the original factory features and using the original Arctic white lacquer paint. The factory red interior was in great shape and was maintained. This is a bench seat car with power steering, remote left side mirror, factory seat belts, factory floor mats, factory tissue dispenser, original radio and added accessory sockets for you CD player and or phone. The mileage is approximately 117,000, the speedometer was changed when it malfunctioned and the seller has notes on the exact mileage at the time of the change. The math will result in the exact mileage at any given time. There are a few flaws: There is some cracking of the paint in the upper corners of the trunk opening, typical for these bodies and this type of paint. There is a small spot, just 1-2 inches across, on the right rear fender where the paint has blistered and there is some surface rust starting to form. The white top has lost some of its luster. The top pads are showing some serious wear. The heater core is not connected, we don't know why, it was like that when the car was purchased and the owner doesn't use the car in cold weather so he never had any interest in exploring why the heater is disconnected. Here is a comprehensive list of the work done to the car since purchase: 1. 5/24/89 - 94,070 removed transmission and replaced all seals, rebuilt torque converter, and replaced both universal joints. 2. 6/8/89 - 94,100 Rebuilt brake system with new master cylinder, all wheel cylinders, rear brake linings. Converted to SILICONE fluid. 3. 7/24/89 Replaced speedometer/odometer because it was broken. Original odometer reading was 94,277. Replacement odometer reading was 61,710. 4. 7/9/91 - 63,489 New front brake linings. 5. 5/28/92 - 63,703 Front brake drums turned, wheel bearings repacked, new grease seals. 6. 7/29/92 - 63,930 Installed new starter. 7. 4/17/93 - 64,126 Replaced valve stem seals. 8. 5/28/94 - 64,618 New front brake cylinders and new front brake hoses. 9. 7/2/94 - 64,923 New rear brake hose 10. 4/15/03 - 73,803 New air filter, new fuel filter, new breather filter. 11. 4/22/03 - 73,842 New AC Delco spark plugs R44TS 12. 5/3/04 - 77,510 New rear axle seals; changed rear differential fluid. 13. 4/13/05 - 79,706 Replaced timing chain and cam and crank gears.

Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?
Sun, Jan 10 2016Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.
2016 Buick Cascada First Drive
Wed, Jan 27 2016Florida became a state in 1845. It is the third most populous state in the United States, home to the most-visited theme park in the world. It is where you'll find every convertible ever sold in the United States, be it a pasty white Infiniti M30 or a Lamborghini. And soon, many examples of the 2016 Buick Cascada will call it home. Florida is full of Buicks. Wonder if anyone bought a Rendezvous Ultra? It's in Florida. The Buick Reatta, the company's last convertible before this? Also there. Buick, however, is eager to get those who better remember Bush vs. Gore than Nixon vs. Kennedy to ask, "That's a Buick?" Which is how we arrive at the Cascada. The Cascada isn't so much a new Buick as a car that's new to Buick. It's been on sale for about three years as the Opel Cascada in Europe, along with badge-engineered siblings sold by Vauxhall and Holden in other parts of the world. Buick took that time to make several hundred changes to the Cascada for US consumption and then found it without many rivals. The Chrysler 200 convertible, Volkswagen Eos, and Volvo C70 would all be prime targets for the Cascada here, were they not all dead now. Buick's gamble is that these Chrysler, VW, and Volvo (also Saab, for that matter) customers are looking for somewhere to go next. The Cascada isn't so much a new Buick as a car that's new to Buick. One thing is certain: the Cascada is eye-catching to Floridians. I had no fewer than six people in Miami and Key West walk up to me and ask what kind of car it was, or even say, "That's that new Buick convertible, right?" Despite being three years old, the Cascada's looks have aged pretty well. And it's been spared many of the tacked-on details, like fake portholes and chrome wheels, that were adhered to the Regal when it made its trip over from Opel-land. Top up or down, the Cascada is attractive. Unlike the Audi A3 or BMW 2 Series convertibles (the former being the Buick's prime target), there's no abruptness to the design, no sharply ending lines. The Buick looks relaxed in a Palm Beach or Palm Springs way, even on the inside with the convincingly stitched dash top and standard heated leather seats (one of the pieces redesigned for the Buick). That being said, the pattern on the seat material is a misstep, looking like it was inspired by Aunt Flora's 1972 patio furniture. Then it's surprising that you don't exactly sink into the Cascada. While the seats are mounted low, they're not pillow soft.
