This 1957 Buick Special  Convertible, is not a Roadmaster, it is a  low production Buick Convertible produced in 1957. This Special  has been stored since the early 70's.  It does not run, the engine is stuck from sitting. The Buick is very low options, it has a radio, and power steering, manual windows, and brakes, the floors are decent, needing some pan replacement, the trunk is very solid, the body mounts are good. The rockers will need attention, the frame is perfect, the doors open and close very well.  The Buick is equipped with 4 Skylark wire wheels, I believe from an earlier model.  I purchased a parts car, 1957 Century 2 door hardtop. that has all of the parts that you may see missing in the pictures. The parts car is available with this Convertible as a package, so actually you are bidding on two 1957 Buicks, there is a clean title for the Convertible, no title for the parts car, it is a parts car, but I feel it is needed for this restoration. Please look at the pictures carefully, ask any and all questions, this is a binding auction, read it and read it again if you are not understanding condition, and the additional parts car.  This Buick is being sold AS IS, No Warranty Either Express or Implied.  You are responsible for shipping, over-seas buyers are more than welcome.   No 0 or neg feedback bids will be honored, if you have feedback you must contact me first or I will eliminate your bid. Again, I have 100% pos feedback and want to keep it that way, please ask any and all questions first before bidding.. Thanks and good luck bidding, Earlier I had made an error, in the listing, this car is a Special Convertible, please not if you bid you are bidding on a Special series 40, one of 8,505 produced in 1957, and a Century 2 door hardtop parts car. I apologize for the error. It is a Special, I could not change the heading for the listing I tried, Thanks

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.

Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy

Mon, 05 May 2014

With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
