Up for auction is a 1971 Buick Skylark Custom Convertible project car. Just an FYI,this is a Connecticut vehicle and it comes with a transferable bill of sale/ official Connecticut registration.There is no title issued in the state of Connecticut for cars that are older than 1980.Check your own requirements for your state before you bid. Now,to describe the car to best of my ability. The floors and frame are in very good shape.There are no repairs to the frame that I can see.Assume the body has filler.It has a basecoat/clearcoat paint job that the last owner had done.It is driver quality at best and it has not been wet sanded.The jambs,trunk,etc. all match the exterior color.There is no visible rust on the body panels.The driver's door will need pins and bushings,as it does sag.Passenger door is fine.The back window is plastic and it is cracked/broken.What you see in the pictures is just some material used to cover it up and to keep out the elements.There is also a small split in the top on the passenger side.The convertible top motor works fine,but the cylinders are leaky and are disconnected.The top goes up and down manually just fine. It has a strong running Buick 350 2bbl (even the choke works) with a stock style dual exhaust.The motor appears to have been rebuilt as it very clean inside and outside as well.It also has an HEI distributor.Has power steering and power brakes.Trans is a TH350 that shifts just fine and the kickdown works as well.

The interior is not too bad.Dashpad has no cracks and the seats,front/rear door panels and carpet are in good shape.I have the lower rear "door" panels for the backseat but they are not in the best of shape.They have been cut for speakers and the material is coming off.

Gas gauge,horn and wipers do not work along with a few misc. bulbs.This is a project car that runs,drives and stops well.I would really like someone to see the car in person so there is no confusion.My reserve is reasonable.Hagerty values this car at $6100 for a #4 condition. (5 being the worst/parts car) I can assure that is not the reserve.you can reach me at 203-464-730 two if you have any questions.I do have some rocker moldings that will go with the car.I do not have any of the other trim.

Car is sold as is,where is.No warranties impressed or implied.Not responsible for differences in opinion/description. $200 non refundable deposit due upon auctions end.Balance to be paid in cash or local bank check.Can store car for up to 10 days from auctions end unless previous arrangements are made.I have described the car to the best of my ability.Can be viewed at anytime via appointment.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

NFL QB Cam Newton and supermodel Miranda Kerr star in Buick's Super Bowl ad

Wed, Feb 1 2017

Buick's Super Bowl LI ad is another demonstration that its cars aren't frumpy anymore. The ad opens with parents watching their children play football, with one of the dads, we'll call him "Dad No. 1," shouting encouraging words to his son. In the background, a bright red Buick Cascada pulls up, and another dad, "Dad No. 2," points it out. Dad 1 doesn't believe him, and says, "If that's a Buick, then my kid's Cam Newton." All of sudden, his son transmogrifies into Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. As expected, he quickly dominates the game, with some amusing results. At the end, when a Buick Encore shows up, the referee inadvertently turns himself into supermodel Miranda Kerr, based on apparent disbelief over what constitutes a Buick. You can see all of the shenanigans in the video above. Plus, if you'd like to see what goes into making a Super Bowl commercial, Buick produced a short video with Newton and Kerr showing what happens behind the scenes. You can check it out below.

Buick Cascada convertible likely dead after 2019

Tue, Oct 9 2018

Opel announced it was discontinuing a few cars today, but the one that got our attention was the Cascada. The plan is to let the Opel Cascada live out its life until the end of 2019, with no replacement in the works. This brings into question the future of the Buick Cascada sold in the United States, since it's basically the same car and produced by Opel in the same factory in Poland. The Cascada has been on sale in other markets since 2012 badged as either an Opel or Vauxhall, but the Buick-badged car was only introduced in North America for the 2016 model year. Of course, Buick could decide to build the model beyond 2019, but it would need to find a new manufacturing location, convertibles aren't exactly popular, and the car would be egregiously old at that point. In other words, it looks like the Cascada is dead after 2019. We asked Buick what the game plan might be, and were told that there is nothing official to say at the moment. That's par for the course for something a manufacturer doesn't want to talk about yet, but it's also possible the announcement came as a surprise. Opel is no longer owned by GM, so the announcement actually came from the brand's new PSA ownership (the same French company that owns Peugeot and Citroen). As for the rationale behind the decision, that was a head scratcher, too. Opel/PSA said it was discontinuing the Cascada, as well as the subcompact Adam and Karl, in order to meet increasingly stringent emissions requirements and produce crossovers instead. This seems contradictory. Replacing a low-selling convertible and a pair of low-profit subcompacts with high-selling, high-profit crossovers sure seems like a solid business decision more than an emissions requirement one. Indeed, the Buick Cascada has never been a raging success in the United States either, with only 5,595 leaving the lots in 2017. It helped bring in some different kinds of customers to the Buick brand, but the impact is minute compared to a vehicle like the hot-selling Buick Encore.
