Rare 1957 Buick Estate Wagon Very Original, Restored Years Back Rare 1 Of A Kind on 2040-cars
London, Ontario, Canada
Wow Today I Have for your consideration a stunning 1957 Buick Estate Wagon, this car is equipped with a 364 V8 nail head, backed by a switch pitch automatic transmission, which all have been rebuilt / restored and are in perfect working order. The paint on this car is in very reasonable condition for its age. It has some lacquer checking but it just adds to the authenticity of the car making it seem like a true survivor for 1957. The chrome on this car is in outstanding condition with what I would believe to have been show chrome finish, very nice. Many dollars spent on the chrome refinishing. The body condition is very straight, with no body damage, that I can find. I have checked the car though ally since my owner ship of some 5 years and have found no previous or present rust issue of any kind. The floor pans are rust free and clean. The interior is in excellent condition through out showing no signs of wear, as is the headliner. Radio works just fine once it warms up tube you know. All Gauges work correctly. The speedo quite working over the winter don't know the issue with it. All windows are in great shape and work correctly. The engine runs great starts right up every time, transmission shifts correctly, no howls or wines out of the rear end. Brakes and steering components are all in great shape and work correctly as they should. I might ad the person that restored this car was the president of the Buick Club of America. This car also completed the Great American Race. This car would be a nice addition to any collection or just make a great weekend cruiser for the person who wants a Buick Wagon. Check the photos out as they speak for themselves. This car is for sale locally and may be withdrawn at any time. I encourage you to stop by and inspect this car yourself or your inspector because seeing is believing. I will help with shipment over seas, I can take to a seaport for your convenience for a small fee. I will Ship the car to Buffalo N.Y. or Detroit MI. Area For transport through out the USA. For a small fee. Theres a small broker fee of $375.00 to have the paperwork done correctly so this car can be registed in any state with ease. I am easy to work with and I am willing to help any way I can to make this an easy transaction. If I haven't said this before this car drives just like it would have when it was brand new in 1957. If you really wish I would drive this car to your front door for the price of fuel, expenses, and plane ticket home for me and my friend. That's how confident I am in this car. Truly is a nice example. Want more pictures just ask. Will consider trades???????? |

Wed, 24 Jul 2013A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.
GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits
Tue, Apr 25 2023General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. “All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion. GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday. North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million. The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.
