1957 Buick Century Convertible on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

1957 Buick Century Convertible, a real red /red car very rare but incomplete This is where the eye rolling starts and the timid lose interest. This car was a very original complete car when it was sold to the owner of a restoration facility in 1995. The facility took the car apart, completely apart and sent the body and frame to a shop for blasting and repairs. The primed frame is pretty decent from what i can see, the body shell has floor rust, some rocker rust, nice quarters, some trunk rust out, particularly in the wheel well. The car has the vin plate on the door post and the trim plate on the cowl. That plate reads 57-66c, 57-4667x,3895, 600, 1MM,bfgj. So its the real deal, a very rare color combination when red and white was popular and this is double red. So much for the good part! I have a copy of the title and the owner of the shop who bought the car promises the actual title is available in his records but i have NOT seen it yet. Hmmmm. I purchased everything as is but i have a great relationship with shop owner and he will help . The rest of the parts. A partial list of the actual parts i have which came off the car are as follows. Fenders not bad, hood, trunk, doors one dented, stainless trim, bumpers, 2 57 grilles one real nice, most if not all other chrome like headlight trim, window frames etc. Some extra chrome. Top assembly frame , steering column, wheels, many wheel covers, the entire rear end, the dash, at least the front seats, the rear interior side panels, radios, door interior panels, window glass and chrome trim and vents, tons of misc mechanical parts and trim parts. MISSING..DRIVETRAIN, WINDSHIELD,FRONT SUSPENSION. This is the right car for someone with a running 4 dr. parts car or someone who collects 57 buicks. i have a lot of nice 56 buick stuff as well but they are not in this sale.....yet. I realize this is a bizarre listing but i want to try it out and will be happy to talk to serious interested parties if it doesnt sell at auction. I really want the buyer to come see it, i will be happy to put them up if they provide info that make me and family feel secure. I would prefer to answer questions in direct emails but may struggle through them and post them. i dont expect this to be an easy process but i am praying for someone to come along who knows what this is and has the where-with-all to deal with a project of this scope. thanks to all for being understanding. |

Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
Buick might be getting a logo makeover
Fri, 23 Nov 2012General Motors has finished off an extensive model overhaul for its Buick division, but along with its updated cars, the brand might also be getting a new logo. According to the Detroit Free Press, GM North America President Mark Reuss indicated that the Buick tri-shield logo could be getting a makeover, but offered no further information.
It is unlikely Buick will completely redesign or replace its current logo, but the article seems to indicate that it might return to color; although all chrome now, the logo used to feature red, white and blue shields. Head on over to the Detroit Free Press article to look at some past Buick logos including one from 1904.
Opel Insignia OPC getting facelift. Will the Buick Regal GS see it, too?
Tue, 07 Aug 2012We've seen spy shots of the base Opel Insignia wearing facelifted front and rear ends, and now it appears that the more potent OPC version will be benefitting from a nip/tuck, as well.
The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating new air intakes - toned-down versions of the model's signature fangs - as well as a new grille. Out back, there will be minimal changes to the overall fascia, most likely stuff like slightly redesigned taillamps, and inside, these spy shots show a larger navigation/infotainment screen sitting atop the center console.
This is all well and good for the Insignia, but we're wondering how these changes will impact North America's Buick Regal GS. No, it may not share the same powertrain punch as the Euro-spec OPC, but visually, the cars are nearly identical. When questioned about possible changes for the GS, a Buick spokesperson told us that the automaker "can't comment" on any changes at this point. Even so, we wouldn't be surprised if some small changes come our way in the next year or so.
