History--Built in Flint,Michigan in July, 1937, this car has a long time history in and around Goshen, Indiana. The engine (71,600) was rebuilt in the early 80's as was the completion of any body and paint work. The car received a new fuel pump, radial tires and tubes in 1982. The steering wheel was also restored with a leather grip. In 2005, the car was sold to a buyer in Clio, Michigan. In 2010, the vehicle was sold again--to my father who resides in Clio, Michigan. Condition: The car is in original condition. The numbers on the engine and frame are matching. All chrome is in very good condition. The headliner is in good condition. The interior has never been restored. There is "wear" on the seats and at the bottom of each door panel. The carb was rebuilt in 2010. All guages (except the radio) work. The exterior paint job looks good. The car was repainted years ago (don't know exact date). There are 2 small dings in the right front fender as well as a small scratch. All Windows work. An original "VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT sticker" is in the rear window. All lights (head, fender, and fog) work. The fender lights have been converted to directional signals. The car possesses a heater, but the owner does not know if it works. In 2010 while returning home from Back to the Bricks (Flint, Mich.), the owner outran a rain storm by traveling 75 mph. and there was room for more speed. The 3 speed transmission and 4 wheel hydrolic brakes work well. The horns work well. The parking brake has never been tested. There is a spare tire, but the vehicle does not have a jack. It also comes with reprints of the owner's manual and shop manual. Payment: Deposit of $500.00 within 24 hours of auction close. Full payment required within 7 days of auction close.

For the record, the 1937 Roadmaster Series 80 had 3 classifications of cars: the 37-80C which was a convertible Phaeton--trunk in back; the 37-81, a 4 door sedan with the trunk in back; and the 37-81F, a 4 door formal sedan with the trunk in back.

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.
It's almost unseemly that GM doesn't offer a relaxed four-seat convertible.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
Buick struggling to keep up with Encore demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Buick is having a hard time keeping up with demand for its all-new Encore mini-CUV, according to a report from Automotive News. The stylish, lifted five-door went on sale in January, but dealers have reported that supplies have dwindled after the initial high demand, taking the proverbial "wind out of the sails."
General Motors admits that it underestimated demand for the diminutive Buick, which is built in Korea and sold as the Opel Mokka in Europe, where it's also seen success. Buick spokesperson Nick Richards told AN, "We increased production, so there have been a lot more landing within the last month."
Buick has done a booming business, though, even with its limited supply of Encores. With over 12,000 units sold in the first half of 2013, the small CUV is on pace to annihilate industry analysts' estimates, which predicted no more than 18,500 units in 2013. We're not entirely surprised. When we first drove the Encore late last year, Autoblog professed that we had no idea how sales would turn out, as the Encore wasn't really entering into an established segment. Even so, wefound a surprising amount to like in the Encore, enough that we "wouldn't bet against it" being a major success.
