Beautiful Unrestored 1962 Buick Electra 225 Convertible - LOW RESERVE

 

Here is the story on this car. It has been in the same family for its entire 52 years. It was purchased new by my Father In-law in 1962 from Masson Buick in beautiful downtown Camden NJ. The only alteration that I am aware of is my father in-law had it repainted the original color in 1976. I received possession of the car in 1996, and had the motor completely rebuilt in 1997 (275 miles since then), new brakes (2011), and a new battery (2013). It has the original paperwork, books, key, seatbelts, repair manuals. The interior is incredible for a 52 year old car with only 2 small seams coming apart on the sun visor, and top of driver side seat. I also have a few extra parts for the car that I got at a junk yard if ever needed. Parts for these cars are impossible to find.

This truely is a sweet car and a true survivor that has always been garaged, and is a super rare and desirable car in this original condition. This is the car to have if you want to feel like an instant celebrity. It's the ultimate cruiser and it gets more attention and appreciation than any exotic or new luxury car could ever get. This beauty is a rolling testament to the glitz, glamour, innovation, and prosperity of the 1960’s. Nothing beats the fun of driving this '62 Electra Convertible as this car feels like it floats on air, and great for cruising or showing, and a real head turner. This Beautiful 1962 Buick Electra 225 has been meticulously cared for since day one. It is not a perfect car but is an absolute must see in person to believe how beautiful this survivor really is. Check out the NADA value on this collector car.

You are welcome to come and inspect the car as it is located in Southern New Jersey just outside of Philadelphia. I will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge. There is no guarantee/warranty, sold as is.

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect

Sat, Sep 29 2018

BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?

Sun, Jan 10 2016

Tomorrow 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.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
