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. |

Pre-owned bargain alert: Buick Regal
Wed, Feb 3 2016For the past couple of years, Buick has been very aggressive in promoting short-term low-mileage leasing. The plan was to get people in the door to experience the new Buick. Once they realized Buicks are now sleek and full of Euro Chic, people might want to buy one. It's debatable if that plan worked, but one thing is for sure: There's a massive amount of low-mileage Buick Regals out there. The price of Regals is all over the map due to lease returns and dealers aggressively discounting 2015 models to get rid of them. But at the $17,500–20,000 range there are a good number of 2013 to 2015 Regals with under 15k miles for sale. The Regal might come with 2.0L Turbo or 2.4L Hybrid. The Hybrid is a bit slow; stick with the Turbo and drive with the traction control off. They all come moderately equipped with leather, heated seats, alloy wheels, and dual-zone climate control. If you have a little more cash to spend, go for the 2012/2013 Regal GS, which is based on the Opel Insignia OPC. The Regal GS comes with 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft from a turbo engine and a HiPerStrut suspension to reduce torque steer. They all come standard with Brembo brakes, navigation, sunroof, and premium sound system, in automatic or manual. Just make sure you budget money in your savings to replace the front tires. Trust me on this. You can purchase a Camry or Accord with some equipment for under $20,000 with a bit more miles and years than the Regal. But ultimately the Regal feels more premium, drives better, and is less boring. Make the right choice and buy something unique.Related Video:
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.
Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore.
Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013.
According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.).
