  Here's a rare find for you Buick guys !  I found this car back in 2002 for sale in West Virginia and flew out and looked it over , drove the car , and bought the car and drove it home . I bought the car because my Dad bought a brand new teal 1968 Le Sabre Deluxe 4  dr sedan and I always loved that big Buick ride and the body lines .

    So after I drove the car home I decided to find all the NOS parts I could find and make this 1968  Le Sabre Custom into a Deluxe model . After years of searching I found all the Deluxe  moldings and also the rare stainless steel body side moldings that was a dealer installed option . I didn't stop there !

 I kept searching and found more NOS parts . I found and bought  both front and rear tri shield emblems , right side mirror , side marker lights , front bumper , and the list keeps on going and going .

  While searching for NOS parts the front suspension was replaced , new springs all four corners , drive shaft center bearing replaced and all u joints .

  The brakes were all gone through as well , replaced tires with reproduction bias ply tires and put Buick road wheels on the car with new center caps as well .

   The interior is real close to new , in fact the seats have been reworked and NOS correct Buick fabric as well !  The original carpet and interior looks great . The am/fm factory stereo radio sounds great .

  The car was repainted before I bought it from the original owner with a nice but older driver quality paint job . There is one small dent on hood near windshield molding . I have been told that dent busters may be able to get the dent out but I have never took the time to take the car to them . I did find a NOS molding for the hood and will go with the car at the time of sale .

  The engine runs great and the transmission shifts smoothly . The 350-2 runs very smooth and uses no oil .  I believe the mileage is correct but no paperwork to verify . When you were to come and see the car and drive I believe you would agree with me .
 
  Also I have replaced the radiator , hoses , thermostat , water pump , belts , and more in the recent years . Also the single exhaust has been replaced with duals and has very low mellow sound at idle as well as driving down the road .

  I believe I have descibed the car the best I can . Take a look at the pictures and if you have any questions or would like to see any more pictures please contact me via email ! 

   Thanks for reading and happy bidding to all !

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Buick Century Woodie station wagon

Mon, Oct 9 2017

The Detroit station wagon with fake-wood exterior paneling had a good long postwar run, but minivans and — increasingly — sport utility vehicles were giving such wagons quite a beating in the showrooms by 1992. Buick was down to just two woodies by 1992; here's a discarded example of the front-wheel-drive Century, spotted in a Northern California self-service yard. Buick sold big rear-wheel-drive Roadmaster wagons with Simu-Wood™ siding through the 1996 model year, but the smaller Century was fairly plush. American car shoppers didn't insist on real-looking "wood" on their wagons, although Chrysler went much more three-dimensional with their plastic wood that did GM during this era. This one has the 3.3-liter Buick V6 engine, rated at 160 horsepower. This is not to be confused with the unrelated GM 60° V6, which was available in earlier and later Centuries. If only these seats could talk, they'd tell many tales of sibling battles and spilled fast food. Related Video:

We want this Buick Regal wagon rumor to be true

Tue, May 31 2016

The car we know in the US as the Buick Regal is sold as a Vauxhall/ Opel Insignia in Europe, where it's offered in four-door sedan, five-door liftback, and wagon body styles. Call it a case of wanting what we can't have, but we like the last two body styles a lot. Based on a report from a Buick/ GMC dealer meeting in Austin, one of them could be coming to the US soon. According to a poster identified as 97GreenRS on the forums at GM Inside News, GM showed dealers the 2018 Buick Enclave, Regal, and Regal GS, as well as the 2018 GMC Terrain, and then confirmed it would offer the Regal wagon here in the US. While that wouldn't normally be all that much to go on, we know Buick has been toying with the idea of a wagon for some time. A Regal-badged wagon was spotted way back in 2011. More recently, we reported on a trademark filing for "Tourx" and "Regal Tourx," which suggest a long roof (Tour) and all-wheel drive (x). If the Regal wagon arrives alongside the base sedan and GS as a 2018 model, we'd expect a debut within the next 15 or so months. That would place it right at the beginning of the 2017 auto show season, which starts next September in Frankfurt, Germany. With that in mind, it seems possible the new Regal would debut first as an Opel Insignia before appearing at a US show like Los Angeles or Detroit, although there's a lot of speculation going on there. We just want to see "Buick" and "wagon" in the same sentence again. Related Video:

Movie Review: Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary

Thu, 06 Dec 2012

As Buick currently claws and scratches its way back into relevance to compete against luxury brands like Lexus and Acura, it's hard to believe that not too long ago, the brand had a car that was mentioned in the same breath as Corvette, Lamborghini and Ferrari. That car? None other than the Buick Grand National. All black with a turbocharged V6 and some of the quickest acceleration of its time, the Grand National, in today's standards, is along the lines of a 2013 Shelby GT500 with both cars essentially being a working man's supercar.
The last Grand National rolled off the assembly line in Flint, MI on December 11, 1987, and to mark the silver anniversary of that somber occasion, Black Air is a documentary of the Grand National from the perspective of the enthusiast, the collector, the media and even from those at General Motors responsible for creating such a sinister legend. Like the car itself, Andrew Filippone Jr. shoots the documentary in a raw fashion, and it definitely helps to show why a low-volume muscle car from the 1980s is still the object of obsession for many automotive enthusiasts to this day.
