UP FOR BIDS IS PROBABLY THE NICEST ORIGINAL CONDITION 1972 BUICK SKYLARK SUNCOUPE IN EXISTENCE. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW THE SUNCOUPE IS A VERY RARE CAR SPORTING A VINYL ACCORDIAN TYPE FULL SUNROOF; THERE WERE LESS THAN 3500 PRODUCED.

IT IS A LIFETIME FLORIDA CAR WITH NO RUST AND STILL SPORTING ITS FACTORY ORIGINAL SANDALWOOD (BEIGE) PAINT AND WHITE VINYL INTERIOR, BOTH IN GOOD CONDITION. IT PRESENTLY SHOWS 79,950 MILES AND COMES WITH A CLEAR FLORIDA "ACTUAL MILEAGE" TITLE, AND THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THIS IS INCORRECT. THE BROWN VINYL TOP AND SUNCOUPE SLIDING TOP WERE REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO DUE TO SHRINKAGE FROM THE FLORIDA SUN. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST UNDER THE ORIGINAL VINYL TOP, ALMOST UNHEARD OF FOR THESE GM A-BODY CARS. THE RENOWNED MIKES AUTO TRIM HERE IN SARASOTA DID THE TOP REPLACEMENT.

THE CAR RUNS BEAUTIFULLY AND SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. THERE IS A SLIGHT TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAK WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR A LONG TIME, BUT SEALS RIGHT UP UPON USE OF THE CAR. I DID ADD ELECTRONIC IGNITION A FEW YEARS AGO AND HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH THE ADDED PERFORMANCE. I HAVE SIX BUICK SKYLARKS AND THIS IS THE BEST CONSISTENT RUNNER.

THE BATTERY IS NEW AS WELL AS THE FIRESTONE RADIAL TIRES MOUNTED ON THE ORIGINAL SPORT WHEELS. THE FACTORY DISC BRAKES HAVE NEVER GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEM AND STOP WELL. ALSO, THE CARBURATOR HAS BEEN RECENTLY REBUILT. THE ORIGINAL PAINT IS THINNING IN PLACES ESPECIALLY AROUND THE TRUNK KEY AND IN BACK OF THE VINYL TOP AND IT DOES HAVE THE USUAL DINGS AND SCRATCHES EXPECTED ON A 41 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ORIGINAL PAINT. THE ORIGINAL BROWN SUNCOUPE STRIPES ARE ALSO THINNING BEHIIND THE TOP.

THE R-134 CONVERTED AC BLOWS COLD AND THE ORIGINAL AM/FM WORKS WELL BUT ONLY THRU THE REAR SPEAKER. SOMEONE DID DISONNECT THE HEATER CORE YEARS AGO BUT THIS HASN'T BEEN A CONCERN FOR THIS FLORIDA CAR. THE INTERIOR HAS NO RIPS OR TEARS, THE DASH AND STEERING WHEEL ARE CRACK FREE, THE BLACK CLOTH HEADLINER IS NEAR PERFECT, AND THE BLACK ORIGINAL CARPET IS PRETTY GOOD, ALTHOUGH THINNING UNDER THE GREAT CONDITION ORIGINAL BUICK MATS. THERE IS WEAR ON THE DRIVERS BOTTOM SEAT CORDING AND THE HARD BACKS OF THE BUCKET SEATS ARE FLAKING FROM AGE. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE WITH THESE A-BODY BUCKETS.

THE REASON I AM SELLING THE CAR IS I RECENTLY ACQUIRED AN ORIGINAL FAMILY OWNED SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE THAT HAS SENTIMENTAL VALUE AND I NEED THE GARAGE SPACE FOR IT. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS AND TO INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE BIDDING. MY PHONE NUMBER IS 941-953-9565. THE CAR IS AT MY HOME AND READY FOR INSPECTION. GOOD LUCK BIDDING. THIS IS A RARE CHANCE TO OWN SUCH AN ORIGINAL WELL CARED FOR SUNCOUPE, ESPECIALLY THIS WELL EQUIPPED.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Neil Young's 1953 Buick Roadmaster Skylark brings $400,000 at auction

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Singer-songwriter Neil Young's extensive collection of model trains have fetched nearly $300,000 at auction, along with classic cars and musical equipment owned by the 72-year-old folk-rock icon. Young, a model train enthusiast for decades, offered more than 230 pieces at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles from his collection of Lionel trains, including a custom-painted Commodore Vanderbilt 4-6-4 locomotive that sold for $10,000. Several cars that Young owns were also sold. A 1953 Buick code 76X Roadmaster Skylark convertible with a steering wheel hub that says, "Customized for Neil Young," went for $400,000, the auction house said on Saturday. Young, best known for his Woodstock-era songs as well as his work with the bands Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young has said the vast model train layouts at his California ranch helped him connect with his son Ben, who has cerebral palsy. Other items auctioned off on Saturday included some of Young's guitars, amplifiers and microphones. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Bridge School in California, which Young's ex-wife Pegi Young co-founded in 1986 for children with severe speech and physical impairments.Reporting by Joseph AxRelated Video:

Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share

Fri, Jan 17 2014

Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this factoid: In 1963, nearly half of the cars sold in the United States were from Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Pontiac. Now, the company's US market share is stagnant at 17.9 percent. That same number is half of just Chevy's 1963 market share. This is all despite GM going on a binge replacing or updating its models. "Market share increases are not instantaneous," Mark Reuss told Reuters at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. "We've got a lot of baggage. Don't underestimate what people though of us, or these brands, through these hardships and 30 years." The reasons for the stagnant market share are numerous. Reuters points out that retooling of factories and a focus on limiting incentives are both good things for profit, but not necessarily for market share. There's also the troubling turnover of the brand's marketing department. These issues don't change the fact that Chevrolet has lost 1.4 percent of its market share in two years, and that Cadillac - arguably GM's most improved brand overall - has lost 1.2 percent in the same period. Part of that can be blamed on GM's avoidance of fleet sales in favor of more profitable customer sales. "Our focus has really been on retail and that's where we've got the growth," said Alan Batey, GM's interim global marketing boss. "We want to grow GM and that means growing market share and profits, but it's not at all costs," Reuss said.
