1941 Buick Special

36,886 Original Miles From New!

This is an outstanding example of a 1941 Buick Special. The car is black with tan interior and has only traveled 36,886 miles over the last 71 years.  This car is a 100% totally unrestored original car.  This Buick was built in Linden, NJ in November of 1940 and sold new at Capitol Buick in Albany, New York on June 10, 1941.  The original owner of the car was Patricia Dickinson.  I have the original Owner Service Policy and the original Owner Identification Card.  Also, I have about 8 original oil change stickers from the car.  This car is an absolute time capsule.  Everything about this car is totally original.  The car is equipped with the Dynaflash Fireball straight 8 motor, and a three speed manual transmission on the column.  The engine of the car is very nice and clean.  The Buick runs and drives 100%.  The car shifts very smooth and starts up every time you want it to.  I have owned lots of antique cars and this is probably the smoothest running, nicest riding 40's car I've ever had.  The headlights, tail lights, parking lights and turn signals all work as they should.  All of the gauges work properly.  The car is also equipped with the rear seat air deflectors.  The only thing not working on the car is the radio.  The car has brand new wide white wall tires.  The interior of the car is in EXCELLENT condition.  There are no rips or tears in the seat, carpet, headliner, or door panels.  The dash and all the fixtures are in amazing shape.  All of the wood trim is like new.  All of the glass in the car is in great shape with no cracks or breaks.  A few pieces of glass are starting to show signs of delamination, but nothing major.  The exterior of the car is in great shape for what it is.  I feel like if your looking at this car and interested in buying it is important to understand what it is.  This is NOT a totally restored car.  It is a 71 year old car with original paint and chrome.  The paint is very nice and glossy.  There are however, some chips and scratches.  Nothing is major, but they are there.  There are also a few areas of spider web cracking on the paint.  The chrome is all in great shape and shines really nicely.  There are a few areas of minor pitting on some different trim pieces.  This is a great car.  Bid with confidence.  If you buy this car and feel like I didn't describe it accurately and you don't want it no problem no hard feelings.  I'll gladly hold on to it.  The miles are listed on the clear PA title, and the odometer works as it should. I have tons of pictures of this car so if you need any additional pictures please feel free to ask.

My dad and I have been PA car dealers since 1989.  We have an antique car business as a HOBBY, and this is not our full time job.  We do it because it’s fun for us.  I try to be as honest and accurate as I can when describing a car.  I would rather a customer buy a car from me and it is nicer than they were expecting then vice versa.  I try to include a variety of different pictures as well.  If you’d like additional pictures of a specific area or any type of information please feel free to ask, and I will do my best to accommodate you.  I will accept cash, certified bank check or wire transfer ONLY.  Please understand that this is a 71 year old car with original 71 year old paint.  It is NOT perfect.  I would rate as an excellent survivor, and an excellent candidate for the new survivor judging or any HPOF judging in AACA.  Please feel free to contact me with any question (724) 771-5170.  Thank you.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

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.")

Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.
