1956 Buick Century 4dr, 322 Nailhead, Dynaflow on 2040-cars
Homer Glen, Illinois, United States
|
For sale is my 1956 Buick Century. If you are in the Chicagoland area there is a good chance you've seen it at various cruise nights. Most of the car is in original unrestored condition and has been parked for the last two years. I'm going to try to list all the major faults I can remember. At the moment it needs a new battery in order to start. The black paint is fair with swirls, scratches, and looks like it has some small bondo work on the front. Chrome is pitted with a little ruse on the rear bumper. The original starter is operated via the gas pedal, I switched this to a push button underneath the dash. I had issues with the starter engaging when the engine was already running, the push button solved this. I also had problems with the original generator, so I threw in an alternator. The 322 runs fine and no problems with the dynaflow shifting. The car needs new exhaust and brakes. The car pulls a little when under braking. I put in a new water pump 3 years ago. The diff fluid was recently replaced too. The interior is in decent condition. As you can see from the pics the front seat has a tear in the seam. Radio works, speedometer works (but not all that accurate), Voltage works, gas gauge does not. Odometer does not work. Glass is nice except a crack in the passenger window. rear passenger window does not fully go down.
Any questions feel free to contact me, or let me know if your want more photos. Also would be willing to trade for Pre 1979 truck The buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping. |

Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.
Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
