Buick's Grand National was in a class of its own. This was one of the fastest American production cars of its time. This is a true 1987 Buick Grand National with GNX trim added throughout. This is not one of the original 547 GNX Grand Nationals. This car has just had the GNX aesthetics added for the look.

This car can't be told from an original GNX from the exterior or interior. This '87 GN has some extra curb appeal to it for sure.

The exterior showcases one repaint completed in 2013 of the original black. The paint is in good condition. There are some paint chips and flaws when you look closely. The door jambs could have been finished out better.

Under the hood is the powerful 3.8 liter turbo-charged V6 engine. This engine was rebuilt in 2013 to stock specifications for reliability / driveability sake. We have receipts for much of the parts and work performed. Brass freeze plugs have been installed. The brake booster was upgraded to the newer GM booster to avoid future issues. The original Grand National power brake system was notorious for problems later in life. Further inspection of the engine compartment will reveal original sheetmetal throughout the firewall, inner fenders and core support. The intercooler piping is polished along with the turbo heat shield.

The interior features factory bucket seating in the original two-tone configuration. The upholstery is in good condition, front to back.

The dash displays the original instrumentation and radio, all functional. An aftermarket A-pillar gauge setup has been installed with an Air/Fuel ratio gauge and fuel pressure gauge. The fuel pressure gauge has some LEDs burned out. The dash itself is clean and straight, free of cracking or distortion that can occur with this generation with improper care and storage. There is a dual gauge pod just in front of  the shifter with an aftermarket oil pressure gauge, again some of the LEDs are burned out.

The door panels are in decent condition and the door undersides are solid, indicative of a dry climate Grand National. This car needs some odds and ends to really finish it out. The outer window wipes are cracked and worn, in need of replacement. Also the door weatherstripping is worn and cracked in areas.

The undercarriage displays original flooring throughout. The front end suspension has been aligned and worked on recently. The U-joints have been recently replaced along with the tie rod ends with verifying receipts. The rubber frame bushings have been replaced with polyurethane bushings. The frame itself is in excellent condition throughout.

Buick's Grand National is equally at home on the track or the street. This example has not been raced. It is a street machine. The GNX-type wheels are fitted with recent radial tires sized at 245/50R16s and 255/50R16s.

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy

Mon, 05 May 2014

With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

It'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.).

2013 Opel Cascada

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

The 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.
