La Porte, Indiana, United States

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.

New Buick Verano testing in Germany
Thu, 29 May 2014A refresh to Buick's popular Verano sedan appears to be nigh, thanks to these spy photos that show the tweaked four-door testing in Germany.
As with the current Verano, the refreshed model will have a great deal in common with its European platform-mates, the Vauxhall/Opel Astra. Each car rides on General Motors's Delta II platform. Unlike the current car, though, the refreshed model's styling could lean more heavily towards its European roots, if these photos are any indication.
Despite its commonality with the Astra Sedan, the Verano has featured its own unique styling since arriving in the US back in 2011 as a 2012 model, with distinct fascias at both the front and back, as wells its own headlight and taillight designs. The two cars were still rebadged vehicles, but it was more subtle than it will be in 2015, when the refreshed Verano arrives. Astra-like elements are expected to dominate, particularly in regards to the headlights and taillights. That said, trademark Buick styling features will remain, like the waterfall grille. Really, then, the 2016 Verano won't be unlike the Regal - a rebadged Vauxhall/Opel Insignia, aside from a few very small styling details.
Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.
