I am listing this car for a friend of mine, so please remember that when asking questions or when leaving feedback if this vehicle sells. I will post his email and if you have any additional questions or need more pictures please email him. The vehicle has clear title and my friend has the title in hand. Up for sell we have a 1953 Buick Roadmaster Hardtop. The Buick body is sitting on a 1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 frame and running gear. The car has the Olds 350 motor, power brakes, steering column and gas tank. A Painless wiring harness gives the car all its juice. Tail lights, turn signals, parking lights all work. Car also has an under dash mounted heater. Tail lights are out of a 1969 Cadillac and are turned upside down. All glass is original and is in good shape and working condition.The quarter glass has some "fogging" around the edges. Both door windows and quarter glass roll up and down and both wing glass work. To my knowledge all the original chrome is on the car. Interior is what you see. The front seats are buckets out of a newer model vehicle, they do recline. Rear seat is original with a mexican blanket covering it. The are no door panels, kick panels or headliner. Speedometer, Tachometer and in dash clock do not work. Car has fuel, oil pressure, water temperature and battery voltage gauge that do work. The wiring harness is mounted under the dash and also has a 12v socket for phone charger etc. The white walls are "port-a-walls" not real white wall tires. Port-a-walls came from Mooneyes. Tires are 205/70/15 Goodyear Viva with 80-85% tread left. Spyder caps and beauty rings came from So-Cal Customs. Wheels are 5x5" lug pattern. As far as under the hood...nothing special. No chrome or any type of dress up at all. The car sits low......because it is. No type of air-ride. It has been channeled roughly 8" and just sits low. Overall the car runs and drives good. I have rode with my buddy in this car to numerous car shows out of state, 2-3 hrs away with no problems. Car has drove on the interstate running 65-70mph no problem. His wife drives it quiet often as well. He has no problem worrying about her driving the car. The car is a driver.....it is not a trailer queen. It gets drove. The car is right at the border line to leave as a "Rat Rod" or slick up. The worst part of the body is the rear splash pan directly below the trunk. As far as the rest of the car from 2-3" up on the bottom to roof is in pretty decent shape. No major dents or dings. Roof is fairly straight and solid....mainly surface rust. This car would make a good as is "Rat Rod" cruiser/driver or take the time to slick it up and make a show car out of it. If you have any questions or want anymore pictures regarding the car please email- k_short@hotmail.com. That is my friends email address. The car is for sale locally, we reserve the right to end this auction at anytime. If the car does sell the buyer is responsible for any shipping arrangements. That includes pick up, delivery and cost of getting the car to them.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
Spy photos of the upcoming Buick Regal wagon, via the Opel Insignia
Fri, Nov 11 2016We're pretty sure Buick is working on a Regal wagon. And because the Regal is the Opel Insignia on the other side of the pond, these spy photos show us what's in store when it eventually turns into a Buick. The rakish wagon was lightly camouflaged, giving us our best look at the upcoming vehicle. The wagon shares a lot of the same design cues as the Insignia sedan that we spotted earlier. The bottom of the front end is covered in heavy camouflage, masking the wagon's grille. It's unsure to tell whether the black nostril-like pieces sitting above the grille are vents or just tape. The prototype still shares the same upright nose as the model we spotted earlier, giving the wagon a wider stance than its predecessor. The side profile of the wagon is sleeker, thanks to the extra four inches between the axles, than the current model is, with the design mimicking that of a shooting brake instead of a traditional wagon. The rear end of the wagon is also more upright with the taillights and bottom part of the fender jutting out beyond the glass. The boxy design sitting atop of the rear end doesn't match the rest of the vehicle and appears to be a part of the car's camouflage. With the tunnel-like design at the top gone, the rear end would have a more streamlined design. With the next Regal expected to continue on as a rebadged Insignia, the likelihood of a Regal Wagon in the US look good, but aren't set in stone. Late last year, Buick filed two trademarks for "Tourx" and "Regal Tourx," pointing towards a high-riding wagon with all-wheel drive. Imagine these spy shots with a taller suspension and some crossover-inspired trim pieces and you have a wagon that could take on the likes of the Subaru Outback and Audi Allroad.

Buick Envision aces IIHS crash tests
Tue, Sep 27 2016If you had any qualms about the safety of a Chinese-built car, set them aside. At least when it comes to the Buick Envision. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has tested the new GM crossover and it passed with flying colors. The Envision is the first Chinese-built Buick sold in the States, and it's also the first Chinese-built car the organization has ever tested. In what is an impressive feat for any new automobile, it earned the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating. This means the crossover comes equipped with a forward collision warning system and earned "Good" marks in all types of collisions, including the difficult small overlap crash test. In addition to the forward collision warning system, an automatic emergency braking system is available on the Envision. Eleven other vehicles earned the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, including models from Volvo, Lincoln, Acura, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus and Infiniti. That's good company, and combined with a pleasant, if not world-beating, driving experience, should make the Envision a car worth consideration. Related Video:
