History--Built in Flint,Michigan in July, 1937, this car has a long time history in and around Goshen, Indiana. The engine (71,600) was rebuilt in the early 80's as was the completion of any body and paint work. The car received a new fuel pump, radial tires and tubes in 1982. The steering wheel was also restored with a leather grip. In 2005, the car was sold to a buyer in Clio, Michigan. In 2010, the vehicle was sold again--to my father who resides in Clio, Michigan. Condition: The car is in original condition. The numbers on the engine and frame are matching. All chrome is in very good condition. The headliner is in good condition. The interior has never been restored. There is "wear" on the seats and at the bottom of each door panel. The carb was rebuilt in 2010. All guages (except the radio) work. The exterior paint job looks good. The car was repainted years ago (don't know exact date). There are 2 small dings in the right front fender as well as a small scratch. All Windows work. An original "VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT sticker" is in the rear window. All lights (head, fender, and fog) work. The fender lights have been converted to directional signals. The car possesses a heater, but the owner does not know if it works. In 2010 while returning home from Back to the Bricks (Flint, Mich.), the owner outran a rain storm by traveling 75 mph. and there was room for more speed. The 3 speed transmission and 4 wheel hydrolic brakes work well. The horns work well. The parking brake has never been tested. There is a spare tire, but the vehicle does not have a jack. It also comes with reprints of the owner's manual and shop manual. Payment: Deposit of $500.00 within 24 hours of auction close. Full payment required within 7 days of auction close. Shipping: Buyer is responsible for vehicle pick up or shipping. For the record, the 1937 Roadmaster Series 80 had 3 classifications of cars: the 37-80C which was a convertible Phaeton--trunk in back; the 37-81, a 4 door sedan with the trunk in back; and the 37-81F, a 4 door formal sedan with the trunk in back.

2014 Buick Regal GS
Mon, 09 Sep 2013A few months ago I drove the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and wrote up a First Drive review of it. For all of my quibbles with that sedan (and I had a fair number), I understand that it speaks to the heart of what new Buick loyalists like in a car; it's roomy, has a cushy ride and is as placid as a summer's morning at highway speeds.
Those qualities, while undeniably desirable, don't mean a whole lot to me personally. I prefer sedans that conjure up words like "nimble," "punchy" or even "raucous" on occasion. So, directionally, the high-performance GS version of the 2014 Buick Regal is more my cup of tea than any other car in the company's current range.
In fact, I'd already come to know the Regal GS from its 2012 model year introduction, and grown more than a little fond of the sporting sedan in its original front-wheel-drive, six-speed-manual guise. The fast, sweet-handling car with well-sorted controls may have suffered from a slight identity crisis in terms of pricing (and may still), but it was undeniably fun to drive. So, when I heard that the GS was coming to market for 2014 with optional all-wheel drive (albeit only in combination with a six-speed automatic transmission), I was stoked to have another go and concentrated my driving impressions on the AWD car.
Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions
Sat, 01 Mar 2014With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."
Buick to add more GS models?
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void.
Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.
