1961 Buick Lesabre - 2 door Hardtop (Bubbletop) The 1961 Buick Lesabre
Bubbletops are becoming very popular and desirable due to their classic
and definitive lines. This Lesabre is equipped with the original
Factory 364 Buick V8 and 3 speed Automatic transmission. The Leasbre
also is equipped with factory Power Steering and Power Brakes. This
Lesabre is a southern car and is a true barn find that had
been stored inside for approximately 20 years until I purchased it
about 2 years ago. (see picture). The gas tank was flushed and all
fluids changed and the Buick started right up. Brakes were renewed. The
body is very solid and straight. The floor pans, trunk pan and frame
are solid. (Drivers floor pan has had a patch panel welded in years ago
and is hard to tell from original. The Lesabre was stripped to bare
metal and repainted in high quality base coat clear coat paint, back to a
color close to original. Both front and rear bumpers and guards were
re-chromed. All stainless is good. All glass is with no cracks. The seats are
finished in a fabric and vinyl combination. Door panels are original to the car and show some minor wear. Padded dash has been also
recovered, and the rear package tray is new. We just installed a new
3 row Aluminum radiator with electric fan. Also just added are the 18 inch and 20 inch Billet
Polished wheels that gives this classic a more current pro touring
appearance. The Buick has also been lowered 2 inches front and rear for a
great stance. The Buick runs, drives and stops nice. This Buick is
truly a rare find. It is a true survivor with all original running
gear. You will be proud to own, drive and show this classic. I have
driven the Buick hundreds of miles and its never left me stranded. As
usual the Buick will be sold as is where is without any warranty, either
expressed, written or implied. If you are in the area please come by
and inspect this beautiful and rare classic in person. If this is not
possible please review my Ebay rating on a few other classics I have

year old classic so please do not hesitate to call or email with any questions or
concerns. You can contact me at Jmoore@southern.edu. I will not respond to emails that ask what the reserve is but if you are sincerely interested in a "buy it now",

Buick might be getting a logo makeover
Fri, 23 Nov 2012General Motors has finished off an extensive model overhaul for its Buick division, but along with its updated cars, the brand might also be getting a new logo. According to the Detroit Free Press, GM North America President Mark Reuss indicated that the Buick tri-shield logo could be getting a makeover, but offered no further information.
It is unlikely Buick will completely redesign or replace its current logo, but the article seems to indicate that it might return to color; although all chrome now, the logo used to feature red, white and blue shields. Head on over to the Detroit Free Press article to look at some past Buick logos including one from 1904.
GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.
