Hi. I will start by saying that I am listing this 59 buick wagon in order to explore what options I may have. I am from Australia and have been trying to get a 59 wagon here for a while. It has taken a while to get things organised over there and in the meantime circumstances change. I want this car but I am interested to see what money I could get for it or if someone had a running driving original car of interest that they may want to trade. Some of you may remember I sold an Invicta wagon earlier this year which I regret and I know this is my last chance to own a 59 wagon but like I said circumstances change. OK, now that that's out of the way, the car itself.

This is a solid car with only a rust hole in the rear floorpan. The hood has been bent because of stiff hinges but I have another one, the fender is a bit dented but I have another one. I have another front bumper, grille, lights and left and right NOS fender chrome strips. The motor was seized due to a stuck piston and has been taken out (original available) and I have a good running 401 out of a 59 coming. I have good working power steering pumps(x2) and a working brake master cylinder. Spare front brakes/drums/bearings and rear brakes, spare working heater box, complete dash, tail lights. I have a complete set of tinted glass including windshield, tailgate, quarters, doors and also have an extra pair of tinted quarters and one NOS clear quarter to replace the cracked one on the car. This quarter glass is 59-60 buick wagon only. If I keep the car my plan was to just get it driving and leave the exterior like it is until I could afford to paint it. It doesn't have any rust on the exterior. The interior is complete but will need redoing, once again I was going to put covers on the seats and tidy it up a little. The spare glass can be bought separately but if you want the car you have to take everything. So you would be paying for more than the car itself. You can sell the glass later. 

That's all I can think of for now but like I said I am exploring options so if I don't get a decent offer or trade it will continue its journey to Australia. The position I am in right now means that I can afford to get this car here but it may make more sense if I had a driving project. I am into wagons but may consider something else. Original paint and interiors would be important and definitely no rust buckets. The car is in Colorado Springs and has a Colorado title.Just so there is no messing around it would have to be a good cash offer if I were to let it go so keep that in mind.

The new Opel Insignia might be a great Buick, but it's a sad Holden Commodore

Thu, Dec 8 2016

Since the first shots of the uncovered Opel Insignia hit our inboxes, we've been filled with excitement for the new sedan. It looks great, it should come to America with little to no visual changes as the Buick Regal, and we might even get a wagon version. Unfortunately, there's a lead lining to this silver cloud, and it comes to us from Down Under. You see, the Opel Insignia is also undergoing a re-badging job in Australia to become the new Holden Commodore. It's replacing the beloved rear-drive Commodore (with an optional V8 and ultra-high performance HSV variants) with a front-drive-based platform offering four- or six-cylinder engines. This is depressing news considering the Zeta-platform underpinning the Commodore VF spawned the Pontiac G8, Chevrolet SS, and fifth-generation Camaro. Knowing this was going to happen doesn't help much either. What makes it all worse is that the new Commodore doesn't have a shred of unique styling in the bodywork. That's not an exaggeration. A new grille with a Holden lion badge instead of an Opel lightning bolt badge is the only change. See for yourself in the Insignia gallery below. Not only did GM erase a unique Australian model, it didn't even allow the brand to give the car a distinct shape. It's sort of like when Ford planned to replace the Mustang with the Mazda-derived Probe. The Probe wasn't that bad for the time, but it was no Mustang. At least in that case the Mustang survived. View 12 Photos Before we get ourselves too down, we should mention that there are reasons to be hopeful for the future. For one thing, the new all-wheel-drive Commodore/Insignias will come with a version of the GKN-developed rear differential found in the Focus RS and Range Rover Evoque, which is pretty neat on its own. And Opel/Vauxhall have always had wild performance versions of the Insignia and its Vectra predecessor. The last one made 325-horsepower and had all-wheel-drive. A new one would likely produce much more, since one of the available V6s makes 308 horsepower. Then imagine all of that extra hypothetical horsepower hooked up to the all-wheel-drive system that introduced us to "drift mode." Not only that, but rear-drive Holdens may not be completely dead yet. A Belgian man announced his intention to buy an old Holden factory along with the tooling and rights for the car once it was discontinued. His plan is to continue producing the old model after Holden is done with it.

GM may have teased a whole group of electric vehicles

Tue, Jan 12 2021

During GM's big CES press conference, the automaker highlighted a number of its upcoming electric car-related projects from delivery vans to the upcoming flagship Cadillac Celestiq. In the middle of it all, a collection of mystery cars sat in the background behind speakers. They were in the dark, lit only with their running lights, and while it's possible they're just generic filler cars or concepts, we think they could be future products. Our best shot of the cars together is shown above, and we can pretty easily identify three of the vehicles. In the center is obviously the GMC Hummer EV. On either side of it are Cadillacs. To the left seems to be the Lyriq crossover, and to the right is the Celestiq sedan. Two of these cars have production dates, and the third has been confirmed for eventual production, just without timing. This is why we think the rest of the cars are upcoming models. The next most easily identified car is on the near right behind the Cadillac Celestiq. It very clearly has a Chevy bowtie illuminated in the running lights. And looking closely, it appears to be a pickup truck. It's difficult to make out anything more than that. The nose does look a bit more rounded and swept back than the brick-like designs of the Silverado truck line. That also squares with what seemed to be the upcoming truck that appeared in the background of yet another GM presentation. GM previously said this electric Chevy truck will be a full-size model with up to 400 miles of range. That leaves us with three more mysterious models. Over to the left behind the Cadillac Lyriq are what appear to be a pair of crossovers. The one on the far left looks low, curvy, and possibly with a fastback roof. The one on the right is taller, boxier, and probably more of a full-size people hauler. It's hard to say much more beyond that. They could be new electric Buicks, which would fit in nicely with that brand's crossover portfolio, and would likely be highly successful in China, where Buicks, crossovers and electric cars are all rather hot commodities. As for the mystery car on the far right, it's quite a puzzle. We can at least rule out Buick and Cadillac, and GMC since it's definitely a car, and a rather small one compared with the other cars on display. That leaves Chevy, and possibly the autonomous division Cruise. We're leaning toward it being a Chevy, since the first Cruise vehicle is going to be a boxy pod of sorts.
