1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport . This car was restored in 1991 by a BCA ( Buick Club of America ) member in Wisconsin . At that time he rebuilt the engine and transmission , put patch panels in body , floor and trunk pans , replated the bumpers , replaced the interior with NOS parts and added the engine dress-up package . The car came from the factory with undercoating and after he added the patch panels he added the necessary undercoating to match . It was then painted it's original color Burgundy Mist Base Coat / Clear Coat . This work was done by a person that knew Buick's and his work is excellent . The car was then sold to another BCA member in Wisconsin who showed the car a few times and then stored the car in his barn for about 7 years due to other Buick projects . While in storage it was parked in a insulated , concrete floor barn and covered . Due to health problems he sold the car to the current owner in 2006 .
The current owner in 2006 replaced the entire brake system and booster , heater core , tires on 14" wheels , all belts and hoses , rebuilt the carburetor and distributor ( added Pertronix ) , new trunk and floor mats , added a rear sway bay , replaced the cracked steering wheel ( it seems all '65 Buicks had cracked steering wheels ) with a original type reproduction , and installed a Magnaflow exhaust system . The cars shows about 8565 miles which is then unknown mileage . We think when the car was restored the mileage was then set back .
The car was then buffed out to clean-up the storage dirt and now shows very well . The paint is not perfect and shows some signs of it being painted many years ago . It still shows well at local car shows and would be considerd a high 3 car but if your going to show it at Autorama or expect to get Barrett-Jackson dollars it would need to be painted .
This is a true 1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport that is all numbers matching with power steering , power brakes , Super Turbine 300 automatic transmission , tinted windows , back-up lights , tach in console , am radio , 3:08 open rear end with original NN Burgundy Mist paint and black bucket seat interior .
Built the 3rd. week of June in Flint , Michigan . As you might know there were only 7,670 Gran Sport Hardtops built with the automatic transmission of 15,780 total Gran Sports built in 1965 . This is a very well maintained car and at this price it's a true value .

2013 Opel Cascada
Tue, 24 Sep 2013The Future Buick Verano Convertible?
I wasn't wearing a pedometer while in Germany covering the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, but it's safe to say I walked more than a few miles between press conferences, shooting cars and trekking back to the media center on the first day alone. For this reason, it didn't take much convincing from General Motors for me to duck out of the Messe a day early and drive some of its latest Opel models. No, this didn't include the all-new Country Tourer, but I was able to drive the Opel Mokka (our Buick Encore), the Opel Adam and the Opel Cascada.
I focused most of my driving time behind the wheel of the Cascada, which went on sale in Europe earlier this year, since rumors are swirling that a Buick version of this convertible "could happen soon." Buick hasn't had a convertible since the Reatta, and GM has been lacking a non-performance, budget-minded convertible since the Pontiac brand - and its G6 - was dropped, so adding the Cascada to Buick showrooms could further help the reemerging brand compete in the near-luxury segment. Although the weather was too chilly (and occasionally rainy) to enjoy the Cascada with its top down for very long, I was able to clock a fair bit of drive time behind the wheel on roads ranging from the autobahn to tight roads in small, quaint villages.
Buick Envision CUV launches in China, is America next?
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Buick is launching its new midsize Envision crossover in China at the Chengdu Motor Show, where it will slot between the subcompact Encore and larger Enclave. While it might be hard to muster too much excitement about a Chinese-market crossover, don't completely ignore this one. There's a very good chance it could be on sale in North America to fill the same hole in the brand's lineup over here, possibly as a 2016 model.
We recently spied the Envision completely undisguised as it was arriving at the Chengdu show for its debut. The CUV still looks like a stretched Encore from some front angles, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's got a similar oversized grille, hood vents (presumably faux) and large greenhouse as its little brother. Where the midsize CUV differs is its prominent crease running down the side and the different rear treatment, with wing-shaped trim cutting into the taillights.
The interior looks like a pretty nice place to spend time, too, with a predictable mix of leather, wood and metal, and it should be quiet in there with its active noise cancelation system. Infotainment is provided by an eight-inch touchscreen with a touchpad and voice controls.
Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
