1954 Buick Skylark Model 100 

 One Owner!  Body # 59 of 836 

There are lots of 54 Buicks out there, but only a handful of 54 Skylarks!

This car is unrestored and has non-original paint and interior, although almost all of the original equipment and hardware is still there!  It was a daily driver until the late 70's. It has been stored for over 30 years inside a building.

Car was originally Malibu blue with two tone blue interior

It was customized in the late 50's and early 60's, which consisted of changing paint color from Malibu Blue to Black and then to the Silver Metallic that it is today.

The interior was completely reupholstered in Black Naughahyde in a tufted biscuit design and the original hydraulic 4 way seat track was changed to an electric 6 way track out of 54 or 55 Buick large body. It has new black Daytona carpet.

It has V8 322 ci "Nailhead" engine with 4 barrel carburetor that is strong!  No smoke! There is 127k original miles on chassis. The engine was changed in 1963 when the original engine threw a rod through the block, destroying that engine. It was replaced with an identical engine from 1954 or 1955 Buick. It is coupled with a twin turbine Dynaflow transmission.

All original chrome and LOTS of it! Most of the chrome is in excellent shape. An unusual thing is that this car came with chrome wheel wells. Usually they were painted a contrasting color!

Body, fenders and trim are solid, but chrome on the bumpers took a hit and will need some love. There is some surface rust underneath from sitting, but nothing serious. It has never been undercoated. Floors are solid and under seat heater works!

Hydraulics need work. Units are 60 years old and haven't been used much in last 30 years and should be replaced!

It has 5 original Kelsey-Hayes spoke rims. Tires are in good shape, but are old.

This was the top of the line, and most expensive to date, "Premier" Buick in 1954! The flagship of Buicks' line of automobiles for 1954!

With a modest investment, this car could be real head turning daily driver as is! With just a little more it could be a unique show car in very exclusive circles!

Just try to remember the last time you saw one!

 

Car is licensed and insured with clear title and pink slip in hand!

Buyer is responsible for shipping and transportation

GM recalls over 230,000 more Trailblazer-family SUVs over door electronics

Sun, 16 Jun 2013

Back in August, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall on the General Motors GMT360 SUVs (Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X) ranging from the 2005 to 2007 model years and the 2006 GMT370 SUVs (Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL) due to potential fires associated with the driver's door module. Initially limited to 250,000 units sold or registered in 20 Snow Belt states (and the District of Columbia), the recall has now been expanded to include an additional 193,000 of these SUVs in the US and, according to The Detroit News, 40,000 more sold outside the US, including Canada and Mexico.
Like the original recall, the issue is still a faulty driver's door module that can short out, which could lead to a fire. The Detroit News is reporting that, out of the 443,000 units being recalled, GM says that there were 58 fires that caused 11 minor injuries, and the expanded recall accounted for six fires and one injury. Despite the lower number of fires, the recall notice recommends that owners park their vehicles until the recall repairs has been performed.
On recalled units with functional modules, the repair consists of a protective coating being applied to the module, while vehicles with modules that are not working properly will have the driver's door module replaced. The official recall notice is posted below, and it includes contact information for customers of all five brands.

Next Buick Regal coming in 2017, could be imported from Germany

Sun, 03 Aug 2014

The Buick Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, a pair of sedans from General Motors' European and British outfits. In fact, over 46,000 Regals from model years 2010 and 2011 were screwed together on the same lines as the Insignia twins, before GM's Oshawa, Ontario factory took over production fully. Considering this closeness, rumors that claim the next-generation Regal - due for 2017 - could move back to Europe aren't terribly surprising. Here's why, according to Automotive News.
Oshawa is home to three other vehicles, aside from the Regal - the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala rental queen and the Cadillac XTS. We already know next-gen Camaro production is headed to Lansing, MI, and that the fleet-only Impala will (finally!) die in 2016. As for the XTS, as AN explains it, sales are so slow that GM will either kill it or just shuffle its production volume elsewhere.
Taken along with the fact that Unifor, the Canadian labor union repping workers at the Oshawa factory, claim GM hasn't made any guarantees about future production at the nearly 60-year-old factory, it seems fairly clear that the Regal's current factory is going to be put out to pasture.

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
