This car was purchased new by my father in law from Tatone Buick in Fairborn Ohio. Needing money for Dr. bills, he asked me to buy his baby from him rather than borrow money. I had several classic cars at the time and didn't really need this one, but I bought it and stored it in the garage where it has mostly sat for the last 20 years. I average about 200 miles per year driving it. The only things I have done to it in this time, besides changing the oil, is to replace the alternater, replace the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipes years ago, put new tires on years ago, and put new hoses, belts and vacuum advance. The tires are almost 20 years old and still have the tips on them. Not sure if brakes were ever replaced, I have not replaced them, but have had no problems, recently the brake light on the instrument panel has been coming on but goes out when I pump the brake.
Car had Zbart rust protection when new and was done over and over again until my father in law was satisfied with the results. There is no rust on the floor or underside of the body anywhere, just on exhaust, drive shaft and A frames etc that just needs to be cleaned up. Car has never been cleaned up, restored, detailed, or painted;
There has been no body damage or rust or any kind of work or paint done to the body except the trunk. Someone tried to break into the trunk by taking the lock out, while my father in law still owned the car. I think they replaced the trunk lid but not sure. but the paint on the trunk is immaculate where the rest of the car is faded and has paint deterioration, but still looks good when cleaned up.
The interior is near immaculate, except for a couple of buttons on the front seat which I have, and the rear carpet has a bad spot.

2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.
GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales
Wed, 12 Nov 2014General Motors is laying off about 510 workers from two factories beginning in January, and it could be months before the automaker needs some of that latent capacity to come back on line. A combination of poor sales and high dealer inventories are prompting the cutbacks, according to Automotive News.
The largest changes come at GM's Lansing Grand River plant, where the Cadillac ATS and CTS are made. An entire shift of about 350 workers is being laid off, but the automaker hopes to find positions for some of them at other nearby factories. The decision leaves just a single shift building vehicles there. According to Automotive News, the move is partially spurred by Johan de Nysschen's plan to make Cadillac a more exclusive brand.
The lost shift will likely return for production of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro at the plant, according to the report, but GM isn't saying when that will be. A previous announcement from the Canadian Auto Workers union indicated that the Oshawa, Ontario, factory would lose the coupe in late 2015 or early 2016.
Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak
Thu, Apr 16 2015Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.
