In 1954 Buick Roadmaster and Super shared with Cadillac and Oldsmobile 98 the new General Motors
C-body, adopting the new "ponton" appearance, and the addition of "Dagmar bumpers" to the front.

Texas Calssic Cars Of Dallas is very happy to present this very nice example of a 1956 Buick Roadmaster, restored not too many years ago.

These were large, roomy cars, as much as five and a half inches longer in wheelbase and more
than nine inches (229 mm) longer overall than in 1953. Roadmaster script was found on the rear
quarters and within the deck ornament. Rear fenders had a blunted fin at the rear edge, with dual
"bullet" taillamps below.

The paint shows very well on the car, and the bumpers appear to have been rechromed during restoration.

A new panoramic windshield with vertical side pillars was used. Seats had chrome bands on 2-door models and rear seats had an armrest on 4-door models. The front suspension was refined and Roadmaster'shorsepower was increased to 200. The pillared coupe and the Estate wagon were no longer offered as body styles. Overall sales dropped to 50,600.

In 1955 broad lower rear fender bands, gold-colored Roadmaster deck script and hood ornament,
bars on the hubcaps and gold-accented grille were added to distinguish Roadmaster. Horsepower
jumped to 236, and a new variable-pitch Dynaflow, in which the stator blades changed pitch under
hard acceleration, provided quicker off-the-line getaway. Back up lights were now standard.
Overall sales were 64,500.

The Buick was purchased originally at one of the local Vandergriff dealerships here in Dallas, and still maintains it's original logo.

In 1956 Roadmaster had a shallower Sweepspear that did not dip all the way to the rocker panel
as on other models. Twin chrome strips graced the decklid with Roadmaster spelled out between
them. Roadmaster script now appeared on the doors beneath the vent windows. Fender tip dual
bombsights were standard. Two stator wheels were adopted as an improvement to Dynaflow. A brand
new 4-door Riviera hardtop, proved to be the most popular Roadmaster, with 24,770 units sold and
outselling the pillared sedan by more than two-to-one. Overall sales were 53,500. A padded dash
became standard.

These great old Buicks were called Roadmonsters for a reason. The curb weight on one was 4400-4600 lbs.

The interior was redone to be close to original, with some modifications. It is done in a nice combination of red and black.

The speedometer is not working, as well as a few of the gauges. These are all original gauges and the owner wanted to keep it that way. Most of these will need rebuilding or replacing.

Under the hood is the correct 322 ci Nailhead V-8 that was standard to the 56. We don't know if it's the original engine. It is connected to the 2 speed Dynaflow transmission.

The factory a/c is working.

The undercarriage is solid and in very good condition. The suspension was rebuilt before the current owner purchased the car.

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.

2014 Buick LaCrosse updated with new styling, tech

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

Buick might have one of the smallest lineups among major automakers, but by the time the 2014 model rolls around, it will definitely have one of the freshest. Debuting at the New York Auto Show this week, the 2014 Buick LaCrosse receives numerous styling changes inside and out, and it benefits from many of the same new features found on closely related models like the Cadillac XTS and the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
Exterior changes are relatively minor, but they still help give the car a fresh, new look. The new face of the 2014 LaCrosse fits in with recently new or redesigned Buick models with its oversized waterfall grille, LED-trimmed headlights and the signature hood vents being moved to the side of the hood rather than the top. Similar changes have been made to the rear, like the reshaped LED taillights, the full-width chrome trim and a new fascia design; LaCrosse models equipped with the 3.6-liter V6 will still get the integrated exhaust finishers but they're executed in a more stylish manner than the current model. Finishing off the exterior, new wheel designs are also being introduced, which will include bringing 20-inch wheels to the sedan's option list.
Inside, Buick redesigned almost the entire cabin to create a more luxurious and upscale appearance. The instrument panel is essentially carried over, but pretty much everything else has been redesigned and updated with the biggest change being to the driver's area. Dual eight-inch configurable displays make up the center stack and gauge cluster, while the overall number of buttons have been reduced from 17 down to just seven. The 2014 LaCrosse will also be offered with the next-generation IntelliLink, which receives many of the same enhancements as Chevy's latest version of MyLink adding better customization, improved voice commands and more features including Pandora. Additionally, new door panels, seat and center console complete the LaCrosse's interior redesign.

2014 Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse recalled over brake mix-up

Thu, 08 May 2014

The recall madness over at General Motors isn't letting up anytime soon, as evidenced by this latest call-back of 8,208 Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans. For those keeping track, this is the fifth recall that GM has announced in the past two weeks, not to mention the massive ignition-switch issue from earlier this year.
GM issued a statement saying these sedans are being recalled due to "possible reduced braking performance," according to Automotive News. The problem? Rear brake rotors may have accidentally been installed in the front brake assembly. And since both cars use more robust braking systems up front than out back, braking power could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Automotive News reports that, of the over 8,000 cars being recalled, about 1,700 are currently in the hands of customers, while the others are still in dealer inventory. GM is unaware of any crashes or injuries related to this problem. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2014 model year.
