It is breaking my heart writing up this ad, but I have to liquidate some of the collection to fund a land speed pursuit. I am offering for sale my 1953 Buick Skylark. This Skylark is a very original solid driver and a beauty. It does have some imperfections but I call it character. The exterior paint has great patina with some eggshell cracking, dings and scratches in the over 60 year old paint. I have been told by a few different Concours D'Elegance judges the interior was not original but the exterior paint is. Its nice to get the original paint bonus points at the high-end car shows. The Skylark has earned several blue ribbons. The leather seats are in overall good condition but there are a few seam splits in the seat bottom. The gauges work. The drive train is solid and original. There are a few gasket leaks. The tires have less that 100 miles on them, they are Diamondback Classic wide whitewalls. The hydraulic top, seats and windows all worked before draining the system. The body is straight and rust free, spent most of its life in Nevada. The Skylark comes with a ton of original memorabilia and even the original owners manual. Again very original and solid blue chip investment grade 53 Skylark. I need at least 50K cash and will barter on the balance. I would have a especial interest in a C2 vette, 308, 328, 355, Knuckle or Panhead, jet engines, indian 4 or ???

The 1953 Buick Skylark was built to commemorate Buick's 50th Golden Anniversary. Buick was GM's founding brand, so this was a big moment in their history. The 53 Skylark is virtually a production handmade custom car. It was based on the Roadmaster line, however the fenders, doors, quarter panels, window frames, seats were all sectioned and/or modified by hand to obtain that perfect look. They went all out, and spared no expense. Designer, Harley Earl, created the perfect combination of style and performance. A truly elegant piece of rolling art. They did not stop with just the design. As they billed this 4315lb vehicle as a sports car, and it was just that. The 1953 Buick Skylark was the perfect fusion of a luxury and sports car at the time. Every 53 Skylark came fully optioned from the factory. These options included every amenity offered in 1953, such as power brakes, steering, windows, convertible top, seats and even a powered antenna for the foot controlled selectronic radio. Kelsey-Hayes 40 spoke wire wheels with wide white walls were also standard. The 53 Skylark epitomized luxury and class. The elegant leather interior was complimented with the sweepspear moldings and stunning chrome. 1953 was the first year of the 322/188HP V8 OHV nailhead motor. The motor was followed by Buick's twin turbine dynaflow automatic transmission. This combination moved the Skylark to over 100 MPH and could do 0-60 in 12 seconds. Some go with tons of show...

2013 Buick Enclave

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

GM's Flagship Lambda Is (Still) A Smooth Operator
Consumers shopping for a domestic full-size crossover have heard all about GM's triplets. The Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave are a very appealing and talented group of siblings. Entering their fifth year of production, albeit middle-age in the automotive industry, each is attractive, well-rounded and very capable on the paved dance floor. While all share nearly identical base DNA and the same basic running gear, subtle physical differences and unique personalities emerge between the trio when one digs a bit deeper.
The most polished of the threesome, without question, is the Enclave from Buick. Fresh off a mid-cycle update (as are its siblings), the flagship of the platform boasts a facelift, innovative new features and an upgraded demeanor for the new model year.

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China

Mon, Nov 7 2016

Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.
