1954 Buick Skylark Base Convertible 2-door 5.3l on 2040-cars
Sarasota, Florida, United States
|
Up for bids is my 1954 Buick Skylark Convertible, number 709 out of 836 built. I bought this car in 1970 and have had many years of enjoyment, but now its time for you to enjoy. She needs restoring and is a good candidate. The original Dynaflo transmission has been nicely rebuilt, the generator is rebuilt, the engine is original and runs smoothly and strong. The entire muffler system has been replaced to resemble original. Also, the gas tank has been replaced and has only had corn free gas in it. All the gauges work! The hydraulics for the windows, top and seat do need rebuilt, but the car comes with all new window cylinders purchased from HydroElectric ($500 worth). The old rotted cylinders have been removed.The interior needs a total redo but the door panels are decent for its age. The trunk pan has been replaced and frankly not correctly, leaving out the spare tire well, but the underside still looks very good. She was originally Malibu Blue and was repainted white in the 60's. I repainted her white again and did necessary body work in the early 90's to maintain her. The top is also from the 60's, has no rips or tears but the plastic widow zipper has become unsewn. All the glass is good, at least were a year ago when they were put down to work on the hydraulic mechanism.
I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. There is NO warranty, but have tried to be upfront and honest about its condition. I will do my best to help you with your shipper (Yes, it needs shipped unless you are close to 34239) but know I have to travel a lot so we will have to make concrete plans. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. My phone # is 941-953-9565 and does not receive texts. Thank you for your interest. |

First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The 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.
GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect
Fri, 13 Jun 2014General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades
Sun, 21 Apr 2013Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.
