1961 Buick Electra 225 From The Coen Bros Movie "inside Llewyn Davis." on 2040-cars
New Rochelle, New York, United States
|
This is the Principle photography vehicle from the last Coen Brothers movie,"Inside Llewyn Davis," starring Oscar Isaac, John Goodman ,Carey Mulligan and Justin Timberlake. I was the Picture car Coordinator on the movie and had to the supply them with this vehicle for the running,driving and exterior shots, and a duplicate car for studio work.
The car has a high quality repaint in basecoat clearcoat with the correct color of Desert Fawn and reupholstered with new correct fabrics from SMS ,in the original pattern. Mechanically, I went through the vehicle to make it safe and reliable for whatever torturous conditions it might encounter during filming. It has new brakes and rear axle seals. New battery,radiator,water pump and hoses. The carburetor and fuel pump were replaced. a set of auxilliary gauges were installed below the dash to monitor oil pressure,coolant temp and charging rate. This is a nice solid example that you can turn the key and drive anywhere. All the power windows and 6 way seat work. The radio and lights all function correctly. I have been using the car on a regular basis and it never lets me down, even in NYC traffic or long hauls to upstate CT! It's not perfect and there are minor scratches and imperfections, but it is ,after all, a 54 year old car. I'll be happy to answer any questions prior to the end of the auction and make it available for any inspection, at my location in New Rochelle, NY. I will also include a notorized stement of fact attesting to the Electra's credentials. You can also look me up on the IMDB under Hollywood Nick Pagani. The reserve is less than I have in it, but I need the space . Thanks for looking ! |

GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US
Sat, 20 Apr 2013At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:
Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
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.
