1941 Buick Special 36,886 Original Miles From New! This is an outstanding example of a 1941 Buick Special. The car is black with tan interior and has only traveled 36,886 miles over the last 71 years. This car is a 100% totally unrestored original car. This Buick was built in Linden, NJ in November of 1940 and sold new at Capitol Buick in Albany, New York on June 10, 1941. The original owner of the car was Patricia Dickinson. I have the original Owner Service Policy and the original Owner Identification Card. Also, I have about 8 original oil change stickers from the car. This car is an absolute time capsule. Everything about this car is totally original. The car is equipped with the Dynaflash Fireball straight 8 motor, and a three speed manual transmission on the column. The engine of the car is very nice and clean. The Buick runs and drives 100%. The car shifts very smooth and starts up every time you want it to. I have owned lots of antique cars and this is probably the smoothest running, nicest riding 40's car I've ever had. The headlights, tail lights, parking lights and turn signals all work as they should. All of the gauges work properly. The car is also equipped with the rear seat air deflectors. The only thing not working on the car is the radio. The car has brand new wide white wall tires. The interior of the car is in EXCELLENT condition. There are no rips or tears in the seat, carpet, headliner, or door panels. The dash and all the fixtures are in amazing shape. All of the wood trim is like new. All of the glass in the car is in great shape with no cracks or breaks. A few pieces of glass are starting to show signs of delamination, but nothing major. The exterior of the car is in great shape for what it is. I feel like if your looking at this car and interested in buying it is important to understand what it is. This is NOT a totally restored car. It is a 71 year old car with original paint and chrome. The paint is very nice and glossy. There are however, some chips and scratches. Nothing is major, but they are there. There are also a few areas of spider web cracking on the paint. The chrome is all in great shape and shines really nicely. There are a few areas of minor pitting on some different trim pieces. This is a great car. Bid with confidence. If you buy this car and feel like I didn't describe it accurately and you don't want it no problem no hard feelings. I'll gladly hold on to it. The miles are listed on the clear PA title, and the odometer works as it should. I have tons of pictures of this car so if you need any additional pictures please feel free to ask. My dad and I have been PA car dealers since 1989. We have an antique car business as a HOBBY, and this is not our full time job. We do it because it’s fun for us. I try to be as honest and accurate as I can when describing a car. I would rather a customer buy a car from me and it is nicer than they were expecting then vice versa. I try to include a variety of different pictures as well. If you’d like additional pictures of a specific area or any type of information please feel free to ask, and I will do my best to accommodate you. I will accept cash, certified bank check or wire transfer ONLY. Please understand that this is a 71 year old car with original 71 year old paint. It is NOT perfect. I would rate as an excellent survivor, and an excellent candidate for the new survivor judging or any HPOF judging in AACA. Please feel free to contact me with any question (724) 771-5170. Thank you.

Wed, 24 Jul 2013A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.
How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades
Sun, 21 Apr 2013Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.
