This is a beautiful one family, two owner Buick Skylark Custom Convertible.  I am representing the seller in this transaction.  I have all documentation in hand.  I have the right to sell this vehicle with a Power of Attorney from the State of Illinois. This Buick was purchased locally here in Downers Grove from Bill Stillwell Buick.  This Skylark was purchased in 1971 by the original owner.  The Skylark was then given to the son as a gift for graduation. The father passed away sometime in the 1990's and the son took full ownership.  I have much of the original documentation, including the original bill of sale.  This Buick is very nice.  It is a great original survivor.  The exterior was repainted some 15 years ago and it still looks great.  The convertible was replaced about the same time.  The owner has serviced and kept up on all needed maintenance.  The Buick has dual exhaust, ps. pdb, a/c, dealer install body side moldings, aftermarket am/fm/cd receiver and recent radial tires.  The interior is all original, it does sow some wear, but there are NO rips or tears. The underside is very clean, it has been in storage in a climate controlled area. The engine is the Buick V8 with a 4 barrel carb.  This Buick Skylark drives as nice as it looks.  The underside of this Buick is as clean as you would find in the Midwest.  There is only minor surface rust.  Don't let this one get by.  I will answer all question in a timely manor.  For More information, please click on the link below.

Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

2013 Opel Cascada

The 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.
