6-time National Award Winner - Trophy Magnet - Aaca & Bca on 2040-cars
Syracuse, New York, United States
|
This is an exceptional automobile, typically not found. It's original, with original miles, but new Goodyear tires and belts. Everything works, including the Air Conditioning. No rust, no dents, no scratches. It looks, runs and drives like a new car. The interior is more comfortable than a new car and it rides better.
It's won so many trophies that if I put them all in front of the car, you won't see the car. They won't fit in the car either. Well over a dozen recent trophies are missing from the above photo. They just won't fit without falling off the hood. It's never won less than 1st place in any competition, anywhere, even when judged in a class of national winners. The national awards that this car has won require 5 judges per car, per event! It's been stored in a climate controlled garage it's entire life. It's treated to non ethanol fuel every time it needs gas. There are no issues with the seals. There are NO leaks. Of course there is no rust, anywhere, even underneath. The 6 national awards are: Antique Automobile Club of America 1st Junior Antique Automobile Club of America Senior 2- Antique Automobile Club of America Preservation awards (most recently just 2 months ago). Buick Club of America Silver Buick Club of America Gold Senior These are all 400-point judged awards, where the car must be essentially perfect. This is not HPOF (Historic Preservation of Original Features), where the car only needs to be original, although this car is. This car has a Buick 350 V8 which comes with the original Packard Suppression wires, provided by GM with the Buick V8. These were factory installed and are labeled with the original date code, from 2nd Quarter, 1976. They work so well that there's no need to replace them, even though I wasted money on a new set of Delco wires before learning that the Packard wires were actually original. Obviously all of the dealer documentation is included, along with the window sticker, new car brochures, and many documents that are given only to the dealer, ie: color charts, new car order option check-off sheet, etc. The only reason I'm selling is to thin the herd of classic cars at home. I am not a dealer. This is an exceptional opportunity for the serious car collector. This car needs absolutely nothing. A 2-page article on this car appears in the December, 2012 issue of the magazine of the Buick Club of America. Automatic, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes. |

Buick might be getting a logo makeover
Fri, 23 Nov 2012General Motors has finished off an extensive model overhaul for its Buick division, but along with its updated cars, the brand might also be getting a new logo. According to the Detroit Free Press, GM North America President Mark Reuss indicated that the Buick tri-shield logo could be getting a makeover, but offered no further information.
It is unlikely Buick will completely redesign or replace its current logo, but the article seems to indicate that it might return to color; although all chrome now, the logo used to feature red, white and blue shields. Head on over to the Detroit Free Press article to look at some past Buick logos including one from 1904.
Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.

Opel Cascada is Europe's Buick convertible [w/video]
Wed, 17 Oct 2012As we reported earlier, there has been much speculation regarding a Buick convertible of sorts. The most ringing endorsement of this conjecture comes today from General Motors Europe, as the new Opel Cascada has debuted on the interwebs. Opel calls the four-passenger Cascada an "athletic, glamorous midsize convertible." With a length of 4,697mm (185 in.), the Cascada is as long as an Audi A5, to which GM has said it would be slightly larger.
The Cascada, which is Spanish for waterfall, features a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
According to GM, the Cascada will also come rife with luxury and tech features. In addition to adaptive forward lighting and ergonomic heated front seats, the convertible will feature Opel Eye, which is a front camera that can recognize traffic signs and incorporates lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
