You are viewing a beautiful 1975 Buick LeSabre convertible that I have owned for nearly two years but would now like to sell on to someone who will enjoy it as much as I have. This car is in extremely nice condition as I have tried to capture in the photos in this listing and also the nearly 100 additional photos that you can find at the flickr link at the end of my description. From day one of my ownership of this big, beautiful Buick it has been truly a joy to own. It performs just as it should and all the power options work flawlessly. The power windows, power seats, power top and radio all work wonderfully and even the speed sentinel that you can see pictured in the close-up of the speedometer still buzzes as GM intended it to. The big 350 V8 provides nice smooth power that seems perfect for this long and sleek top-down cruiser. What I've always loved about this generation of LeSabres is the fabulous grillwork that tapers so gracefully along just some of the most incredible body lines I've ever seen. I wasn't shopping at all for a convertible when I found this one, but those body lines caught my eye and captured my imagination, especially being fitted with the stunning Buick factory wheels. And the condition made it a must-have car. There are no blemishes or dents or dings and certainly no rust. Even the undercarriage is extremely nice, as you can see. It was and is a turn-key classic that I would readily drive anywhere without a worry.

During my ownership I did have a new top motor installed, not because the original wasn't working, but because I had to borrow the original to replace the top motor in my 1974 LeSabre convertible that this 1975 bumped out of my garage. As I said, when I purchased this car I wasn't at all in the market for another classic, but it just blew my away and required a little creative reorganizing of my small car collection. Cars are like women, the best ones never show up when you're ready for them. And on the morning my '74 was to go to its new home the top motor decided to fail -- you guys know how that goes! -- so pulling the top motor out of this car seemed the best way to fix things and make everybody happy. I couldn't send away my convertible to a new owner with a top that didn't go down! During the time I've owned this beautiful car I also had a new top professionally installed. The one that was on it when I purchased it wasn't too bad, but I'm pretty picky about these things and wanted it just right. You can see from the photos how great it turned out. Now it is in the same great condition as the rest of the interior. The one item I didn't bother to mess with was the A/C. It is all there and ready to go, but it doesn't blow cold. Being that this is a convertible and I only drove it with the top down on perfect days, A/C wasn't something I missed. But I've included a "Buy It Now" price in this auction with the understanding that if someone makes me an offer that I accept before the end of the auction and would like the A/C working, I'll get it taken care of, no problem.
For such a nice Buick convertible with all these power options I believe I've set my reserve very fairly, because I'd really like to see someone be able to enjoy cruising in it this summer. But I do reserve the right to end the auction early if someone uses the "Buy It Now" option or I sell the car locally beforehand. Good luck!

Movie Review: Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary
Thu, 06 Dec 2012As Buick currently claws and scratches its way back into relevance to compete against luxury brands like Lexus and Acura, it's hard to believe that not too long ago, the brand had a car that was mentioned in the same breath as Corvette, Lamborghini and Ferrari. That car? None other than the Buick Grand National. All black with a turbocharged V6 and some of the quickest acceleration of its time, the Grand National, in today's standards, is along the lines of a 2013 Shelby GT500 with both cars essentially being a working man's supercar.
The last Grand National rolled off the assembly line in Flint, MI on December 11, 1987, and to mark the silver anniversary of that somber occasion, Black Air is a documentary of the Grand National from the perspective of the enthusiast, the collector, the media and even from those at General Motors responsible for creating such a sinister legend. Like the car itself, Andrew Filippone Jr. shoots the documentary in a raw fashion, and it definitely helps to show why a low-volume muscle car from the 1980s is still the object of obsession for many automotive enthusiasts to this day.
2013 Buick Encore
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.
GM expanding Lansing Lambda CUV plant
Thu, 30 Oct 2014Considering that crossovers are a rapidly growing portion of the US auto market, it's not surprising to hear that General Motors is preparing to build even more of them. The company is investing $63 million to expand its Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant that builds Lambda platform CUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave.
According to GM, the expansion will add roughly 263,000 extra square feet of space to the plant. Of that, 181,000 square feet will be for an updated body shop with cutting-edge robots. There will also be 54,000 square feet of additional room in the paint shop and 28,000 square feet of more area for general assembly.
GM isn't saying as much, but there is the possibility that this extra space could allow for additional models produced at the factory. Cadillac reportedly dropped plans to build a three-row SUV on the Lambda platform earlier this year, however, dealers for the luxury brand were recently pitched the possibility of adding large and small CUVs, an ATS convertible or a sedan below the ATS.
