Buick Club of America owner.  Buick Bugle Magazine Cover Car February 2013.  Documented T.V. History (Price is Right - May 2, 2012).  Believed to be just 54,850 miles. Exceptionally solid vehicle even in the most rust prone areas.   Has the factory 322 V8. Absolutely no smoke, shakes or wobbles, drives and stops straight and drives exceptional.  Has a lot of power and is very responsive.  Keeps up with modern day traffic with no hesitation.  Has no signs of accidents and truly drives like a dream.  Original color code BUU (Condor Yellow over Dover White). Vehicle was built in Southgate, CA, spent its life in the Van Nuys/Santa Monica area and came to my garage just a couple years back.  For the meticulous eye, I'd say a reupholstering of the back seat could be done.  Steady trophy winner. Excellent for a driver or collector and definitely ready to go as-is.

Prices of options in '55 on this highly optioned, factory-installed vehicle: PS ($107.50), PB ($38.70), Variable Pitch Dynaflow auto trans ($192.50), E-Z-Eye glass ($32.30), Safety Group - backup lights, parking brake warning light, windshield washer, and glareproof rearview mirror ($32.30), Sonomatic Radio with Manual Antenna ($92.50), WeatherWarden Heater/Defroster ($81.70), and Whitewall Tires ($31.20).

Just replaced front wheel bearings, generator rebuilt, under-hood insulation including "sombreros", professionally buffed, updated wiper motor to electric, refurbished gauge cluster and speedometer, horn works, emergency brake works, backup lights work, all dash lights work, all windows work, radio works, heaters work, even the clock works (just had it refurbished too). Very Flashy. Solid body. Rare in this gorgeous condition.

Serious inquiries only please.  Not urgent to sell but we have a baby on the way.

Buick: Odell Beckham Jr.

Mon, Feb 8 2016

An Opel droptop in Buick drag crashes a wedding. No one's quite sure who made the Cascada, but Emily Ratajkowski definitely got the bouquet. She channels Odell Beckham Jr., laying out to make the catch – and conveniently Beckham is actually there to jokingly shoot her down. Did Buick nail this one, or was it (as Beckham quips) "out of bounds?" Let us know.

2013 Buick Encore

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.

Opel Insignia OPC getting facelift. Will the Buick Regal GS see it, too?

Tue, 07 Aug 2012

We've seen spy shots of the base Opel Insignia wearing facelifted front and rear ends, and now it appears that the more potent OPC version will be benefitting from a nip/tuck, as well.
The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating new air intakes - toned-down versions of the model's signature fangs - as well as a new grille. Out back, there will be minimal changes to the overall fascia, most likely stuff like slightly redesigned taillamps, and inside, these spy shots show a larger navigation/infotainment screen sitting atop the center console.
This is all well and good for the Insignia, but we're wondering how these changes will impact North America's Buick Regal GS. No, it may not share the same powertrain punch as the Euro-spec OPC, but visually, the cars are nearly identical. When questioned about possible changes for the GS, a Buick spokesperson told us that the automaker "can't comment" on any changes at this point. Even so, we wouldn't be surprised if some small changes come our way in the next year or so.
