  We have for sale a 1955 buick special 4 door. I do not know a whole lot about the car. I bought the car at a local auction on a whim and it is a little more then I want to take on right now. The car does run, drive, and stop. The engine sounds pretty good but you  have to idle the car at about half choke otherwise it will die out.Probably a good carb cleaning or a carb rebuild may take care of that issue. The starter switch in the car is in the gas pedal, you have to put the gas pedal to the floor in order to engage the starter, it works when it wants to. The last couple of times we had to jump the starter in order to get the car to start. I would have to think this would not be to hard to fix. The car drives down the road fairly good. The transmission shift real nice. The interior in the car was disassembled when I bought it but most of it seems to be there. The gauges are still in the car but the speedometer cable seems to be broke and is pretty loud going down the road. The seats are rough and need to be redone or replaced. The car does have some rust the worst of which is when you open the back passenger side door it is rusted trough on the floor board. The front and back glass are in good shape but all the side windows are broken. The engine is a v-8 and the transmission is an automatic with reverse all the way down. The engine and transmission seems to be original. Anything else that I tell you would be "hear say", this is want I know about the car. I you have any specific questions about the car feel free to ask. Please tell me where to find the information because I am not real fimiliar with these old cars.If you want any specific pictures please let me know and I will post them to the ad.  If you I have taken the best pictures that I can and I will try to get some more on as soon as the rain quits.

First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.

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.
