Denton, Maryland, United States

For sale: 1978 Buick LeSabre Custom, 2 Door Coupe. Red vinyl interior, bench seat. BOP 350 V8 and automatic transmission. A/C, P/S, P/B, P/W. This Buick starts up, runs and moves, but needs work if it is to be driven.  The original BOP 305 engine was replaced with the current BOP 350 when we first got this car in the late '90s.  It has been off of the road for about 6 or 7 years.

Please do not think you can jump in and drive away. This car is 36 years old and needs attention.  The headliner has fallen down. Some of the red interior plastic pieces are faded. The red interior vinyl (front and rear seats) are in great condition. The dash board and instrumentation are also in great condition. The white exterior paint is faded and has a few small rust spots. The body and exterior trim is straight, the grill and headlight surrounds are not broken. The chrome is peeling on both the front and rear bumpers. We have not removed the wheels and tires for quite some time, the brakes need to be checked. The exhaust is not installed, but it is painted and included.

We have a clear MD title in hand. Local pickup ONLY. This Buick is an awesome restoration project. We hate to see it go, but we simply don't have the time to give it the attention it needs. Feel free to ask any questions or schedule a time to come by and look at it.  Thanks for looking!

Opel to be shuttered in China, but will restart Buick production in Germany

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Opel, General Motors' troubled German brand continues its quest to reinvent itself and find solid profitability. In the course of that metamorphosis, the company has a bit of good news/bad news today. The good news is, it will once again begin screwing together Buick models for the American market. The bad news, though, is that it's being shut down in yet another country, China.
Let's start with the good news. The last vehicle Opel's Ruesselsheim factory built for the North American market was the early run of the then-new Regal, which is based heavily on the Opel Insignia. Production ran for just over two years, from 2009 to 2011, before moving production to Oshawa, Ontario.
Now, thanks to a 245-million-euro investment (just over $336 million), Opel will kick off production of a unspecified model for the US in the "second half of the decade," according to Automotive News. According to Opel, the new model will be announced before the end of 2014. You can begin your speculation about this new model down in Comments (we're wagering it'll be the Cascada convertible, sold here under the Buick umbrella).

2013 Buick Verano Turbo

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.

2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
