This auction is for three cars and they all are 1936 Buicks. One is a model 66c four passenger century 2 door convertible coupe with rumble seat, one is a model 48 five passenger special 2 door victoria coupe with built in trunk, and the other one is a model 61 five passenger century 4 door with built in trunk. I have clear N.D. titles for the convertible and sedan, the four door I think would only be good for parts because the passenger side is all rotten. I have had the convertible in storage for the last 17 years and have decided it's time to part with these projects. Production figures for the convertible were 717 made with 49 of those exported, my guess would be that there are only a handful of these left. I believe all the main metal parts are there for the convertible top along with a few extra metal pieces added over the years. I pulled the motor out of the convertible and I still have it but it would be only for parts because of a major crack from being frozen. Now realize these all need major work, have wood in the doors so the wood has dried up and where the metal hinges attach to the wood it's (wood) loose or gone completely. The center metal hinge on the hoods are also broke. You can move the convertible around with man power or a rope (rolling chassis). As you can see in the pictures, over the years I have picked up a lot of extra parts including but not limited too extra interior door handles and window hardware, a nos grille, this is not as nice as an original because it's cast aluminum but still nice and other misc items. I also have the cars for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early and you can call with any questions 701-837-7907 and scammers don't waste your time or mine. Only bid if you are serious, and if you do buy these and there is something you don't want your are welcome to leave it, I'll take care of it. I will load for free but you have to work with me because I might be busy trucking, don't worry about getting these moved right away, they can stay here for a while, no problem.

Here's a little interesting statement I found online: In 1936 Buick renamed its entire model line-up in Celebration of it's improvements and advancements from the earlier model years. The Buick Century was born in 1936 as it took the place of the Series"60" model. The new Buick Century was created by combining the shorter wheelbase. Buick Special with the eight-cylinder engine and a better higher performance caused the Century to soon be nicknamed "the banker's hotrod" as it was one of the fastest Buick’s of it's era in the late 30's. 1936 Buick Century

Hi, A potential buyer pointed out that maybe all the parts for the convertible top are not here. It looks like maybe (from the pictures he sent) that one bow is missing and like a flat piece on each side is missing. I wil include everything I have for the cars but please realize you are buying what you see, less trees, land, and other none car related items of course. This same person said they used the same top from 1936 to 1942.

Buick Encore production increased to lift supply by 50%
Wed, Feb 4 2015Trying to zero in on the Buick Encore leads us to the conclusion that the only place it really fits is in buyers' driveways. Every member of its so-called competitive set – we've read everything from the Ford C-Max to the Nissan Juke to the Volkswagen Tiguan to the BMW X1 – is so different in small yet fundamental ways that the Encore neatly slinks between them all, and with 48,892 sales in 2014, it doesn't stop slinking until it reaches consumer garages. That success, and preparation for the aggrandizing of the compact CUV segment, is why General Motors is upping production for the US market by 50 percent. Analysts keep predicting there will be more shoppers for tiny crossovers, and that's why those that don't have them are getting them. Yet the Encore came out in 2013 before people realized the power of the segment, and it has substantially out-performed GM and observer expectations: analysts predicted 18,500 US sales in 2013 and 25,000 in 2015; in 2013 we wrote, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." It shook out 31,046 sales in 2013, puffing that number up by more than 50 percent last year. GM thinks that this year it will it will go from Buick's third-best-selling vehicle to its best-selling vehicle. GM wants that to continue, what with the Honda HR-V, Jeep Renegade, and Mazda CX-3 on the way. Dealers say they'd sell more if they could get them, and the four-month lead time at the moment between a dealer ordering and taking delivery – about double the normal time – creates a handicap. Plants in Mexico, Korea, and Spain will hive off production to bolster US inventory to keep the "downsizing empty nesters" who love it, happy. Seeing as the coming competition is falls meaningfully outside the Buick's combination of traits, there's a chance its popular tale can continue.
J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
