This big Buick Electra 225 is up for sale. We have checked this car over and it is fairly Rust free. I have peeled back the trunk material and the metal is has new. I checked the frame and it is solid. The underside is dirty but very little surface rust and car appears to have been undercoated years ago.This car was parked in the mid 80's in a garage /shop waiting to have the transmission rebuilt. It never happened. The odometer reads 56000 miles and that is believed to be original. In the spring of 2013 we bought this car to restore in our 12000 Square foot facility but the work load from customers keeps our shop full and no time to do this car. All the trim is with the car and there are a few dings in the Stainless. All can be repaired. The body of the car has some rust on the bottom of the quarter panels and small rust holes in front of the rear tires. The door pillar on the drivers door to the rear has some rust. The passenger side has some rust close to the rocker. This would be described has minimal for an old car 30 years in inside storage. There is a dent behind drivers door, other than that the body is fairly smooth and straight. No attempt was made to start the 325 HP 401 nail head. The compression is at 10:25 -1. The motor does turn over and is not locked up. The carpets were removed by previous owner in the 80's to prevent rust. The floors seem fairly solid. Everything seems original including paint. Car came from Virginia according to title. Title is clear and open. The door glass is cracked and there is a small crack in a quarter window. The interior is all intact but needs new upholstery. This is a prime car for a restoration or hot rod cruiser. We did purchase a low mileage 1975 500 Cubic inch Caddy motor and turbo 400 to install but never touched car. The caddy motor is available also but not included in auction. If you are tired of seeing 55 -57 Chevy's and want to build a rare beautiful GM offering ,this is it. Our shop is located in Cookeville,TN and can be googled under auto restoration. You can call Al Morgan at 931-432-6377 or 931-881-8351 Call only if you are serious. We would only consider trade up only. Price is $7500 or it can sit and look cool in our shop.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
2013 Opel Cascada
Tue, 24 Sep 2013The Future Buick Verano Convertible?
I wasn't wearing a pedometer while in Germany covering the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, but it's safe to say I walked more than a few miles between press conferences, shooting cars and trekking back to the media center on the first day alone. For this reason, it didn't take much convincing from General Motors for me to duck out of the Messe a day early and drive some of its latest Opel models. No, this didn't include the all-new Country Tourer, but I was able to drive the Opel Mokka (our Buick Encore), the Opel Adam and the Opel Cascada.
I focused most of my driving time behind the wheel of the Cascada, which went on sale in Europe earlier this year, since rumors are swirling that a Buick version of this convertible "could happen soon." Buick hasn't had a convertible since the Reatta, and GM has been lacking a non-performance, budget-minded convertible since the Pontiac brand - and its G6 - was dropped, so adding the Cascada to Buick showrooms could further help the reemerging brand compete in the near-luxury segment. Although the weather was too chilly (and occasionally rainy) to enjoy the Cascada with its top down for very long, I was able to clock a fair bit of drive time behind the wheel on roads ranging from the autobahn to tight roads in small, quaint villages.
Buick Avenir will be made...as a trim level instead of a car
Fri, Sep 30 2016Almost two years after Buick showed the gorgeous Avenir concept, the company announced the Avenir name will reach production. Specifically, it will be a top-tier trim level for 2018 model year Buicks. It's taking a page from GMC's Denali, Lincoln's Black Label, and, well, plenty of examples of extra-fancy sauce. This is disappointing news for fans of the concept, but they can take solace in the fact that the Avenir's good looks are starting to rub off on production Buicks, such as the new LaCrosse. For those interested in what this new Avenir trim will bring to the table, it's a similar formula to what many other auto brands are doing. Buick specifically compares Avenir with the Denali trim for GMC. Models with the trim will get a special 3D mesh grille inspired by the Avista concept, large wheels and unique trim finishes outside. Inside, Avenir models will receive a nicer interior, which Buick generically described as having "unique seat details" and "modern trim materials." Cars equipped with the package will also get a smattering of Avenir badges. Avenir looks like a win-win: interested buyers get some extra cachet and bragging rights and Buick gets to load high-profit options on it cars and SUVs. Buick's inspiration for the Avenir trim is a bit strange, though. The company says it is "inspired by Buick's evolving customer base," which includes women and owners of competing products. Apparently both groups are buying Buicks in greater numbers, and the company also says that many of their customers opt for the most expensive trims. While it seems straightforward to tailor a package for luxury-seeking buyers, we're not sure what would make a package specifically appeal to women and people with competitors' vehicles. That being said, Buick isn't as patronizing as Cosmopolitan was with its car. In fact, quite the opposite. With Avenir, Buick is cashing in on new customers that willing to pay for luxury plain and simple, without any pandering. Related Video: Auto News Buick Luxury denali buick avenir
