  I found this car on my mail route last summer and passed it on to my inlaws in arkansas, they have enjoyed it for about a year and just purchased 18 acres and are going to build a house so they are passing it on to the next care taker. 350 2 barrel automatic on column, power sterring, a/c 73,000 original miles. I drove it from arkansas back to lees summit this morning (4 hours on the 21st) and it ran beautifully. Dorothy archer bought it new from dunn buick in oklahoma city ok on 8-27-69, it spent part of it's life there and then she moved to ellinwood ks, she owned it up until 2008, the story i got was that she drove it to woodstock in 69, the second owner also lived in kansas. He did the gs conversion (original gs hood and gs badges, brand new magnum 500 wheels and bf goodrich t/a's) the gold was repainted because of the original badge holes, the white painted top is original paint. I have about 23 pieces of documentation/records, the protectoplate the pre delivery checklist with protectoplate embossed on it, warranty book with protectoplate numbers on it, insurance policies, service records from sears, montgomery wards and her local shop, original dealership key chain, manuals and booklets, there is a plastic holder on the dash with service dates from 2007 from the shop in ellinwood, there are oil change dates and oil type written in grease pen from the 80's on the fan shroud along with some factory chalk marks on the firewall. This buick is unbelievable, it's the only classic car that i have experienced that starts runs and drives just like new, high idle kicks down twice to normal idle, suspension acts just like new, doors shut and lock like new, windows work like new. The interior is all original parchment/ black except for the carpet i think, it usually fades after 45 years, and the kick panels are plastic with speakers in them but the original am radio. The dash is pristine speedometer is smooth and true no jumping around a/c blows ice cold. My father in law drove it to arkansas last summer with the a/c on and got 18 mpg. Headliner door panels rear deck all in excellent shape. Exterior and paint are in excellent condition, glass is excellent, stainless and chrome are excellent, door handles in and out and window cranks excellent no pitting. This car has never been taken apart, the weatherstripping is original and still soft nothing is cracked or brittle, body is super solid, there is light surface rust on the underneath of floor pans as you can see in pics, you can still see the bare metal, unbelievable. It wouldn't surprise me if it has never sat outside it's entire life. The motor runs smooth and strong no smoking oil consumption, or leaking, tranny shifts smooth fluid smells good. I drove it 80 mph most of the way back from arkansas, i let go of the wheel it drove strait, brakes straight, everything on the car works like new, all lights work, Last summer i changed oil belts and hoses and tuned it up not knowing the age of this stuff and the the fact he was driving it 4 hours to arkansas. I have heard this my whole life "i would drive this car cross country" but i think this car has proven that. This car hasn't sat and sat and sat, it has been driven sparingly every year and meticulously maintained, i I can also imagine reading this that it sounds like a bunch of b. s. but i can't say enough about this car, and my feedback has always been 100% and i intend to keep it that way. I do body paint and restoration on muscle cars on the side, so i know what i'm looking at, i have had, bought and sold a lot of cars and this is the best one yet, even after a total restoration cars don't feel like this one like it did when new, i also have gotten compliments from craigslist and ebay users about the honesty and accuracy of my adds, i will not misrepresent anything i sell, this is very important to me. This car is not every ones favorite car but if it's yours you will not be disappointed. This is a beautiful car but not one that you would be afraid to drive. If you don't intend on buying this car please don't bid on it.

GM trademarks 'Sport Touring' for Buick Regal, LaCrosse

Thu, May 7 2015

Discovering trademarking or patents from automakers always fascinates us since the filings hint at the possible future of motoring. Based on two recent applications, Buick has something possibly brewing for two of its sedans, because the company now has the trademark for Sport Touring on the Regal (pictured above in GS trim) and LaCrosse. According to GM Inside News, both trademarks are dated April 27 and are simply described to the US Patent and Trademark Office as being for "motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles." That doesn't narrow things down at all. However, since the moniker is specifically for both sedans, Sport Touring might be a new trim or special edition for them. Buick had no comment when reached by Autoblog. Of course, there are a whole host of automotive trademarks that are claimed that end up with no actual vehicle in showrooms. Unfortunately, we just have to wait to find out if this is another case like the Buick Enclave Tuscan where the filing offers a preview of the future or a situation like the still long-awaited return of the Supra.

GM CEO to meet with U.S. lawmakers over job cuts

Fri, Nov 30 2018

WASHINGTON — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra plans to visit Capitol Hill next week to discuss the company's plans to halt production at five plants in North America next year and cut up to 15,000 jobs, two congressional aides said on Friday. GM has come under harsh criticism from lawmakers from both major political parties, and from President Donald Trump, since Monday when it announced the biggest restructuring for the U.S. No. 1 carmaker since its bankruptcy a decade ago. Barra is expected to meet with lawmakers from Michigan and Ohio, where GM plans to shutter three plants, as well as senior leaders in Congress. GM did not immediately comment. Barra has been calling lawmakers this week to explain the decision to end production. Trump has threatened to revoke subsidies for GM. The Detroit automaker plans to halt production next year at three assembly plants: the Lordstown small-car factory near Youngstown, Ohio; the Detroit-Hamtramck complex in Detroit; and the Oshawa, Ontario, assembly complex near Toronto. It will also stop building several models now assembled at those plants, including the Chevrolet Cruze, the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, the Cadillac CT6 and the Buick LaCrosse. Additionally, GM plans to shutter the Warren transmission plant outside Detroit and a plant that makes electric motors and drivetrains outside Baltimore, Maryland. The Cruze compact car will be discontinued in the U.S. market in 2019, although GM may continue building it in Mexico for other markets, Barra said. Reporting by David Shepardson. Related Video:
