1957 Buick Roadmaster Base Hardtop 4-door 6.0l on 2040-cars
White Marsh, Maryland, United States
I purchased this car to make it a nice daily driver. It is a fully loaded car with power brakes, power steering, power windows, power antenna, power seat and factory air. I worked on it for two years and an illness in the family forced me to stop. I started working on it again in 2013 and now it is 95 percent finished with just a few minor fixes. I can no longer work on this car because of my age and health, mostly age. About the car. I rebuilt the engine and had the transmission rebuilt by a transmission shop. All of the rest of the work was done by myself. New brakes, including wheel cylinders and hoses, new dual exhaust system, new shocks, new power antenna, all new flat glass and windshield, all new weather stripping, Gas tank was removed ,cleaned, and sealed and a new sending unit installed , all new hoses, including water, vacuum, and fuel, 90 percent of the chrome has been re chromed and a new headliner installed. I removed everything from this car, including the doors and dash so I could treat all un painted surfaces with a rust restorer. When I purchased this car it had been sitting for some time and every surface was covered by a fine coating of rust. So I treated every area I could reach and sprayed every area I couldn't reach. There were only two bad spots on this car, one a quarter size hole in the rear door frame dogleg, which I welded and the spare wheel well was completely rusted out. I removed the wheel well, made a new one from fiber glass, installed it and glassed the entire trunk floor. I did a very good job. I painted this car myself and although it is not a six thousand dollar paint job, it is pretty and all it needs is maybe fine sanding and buffing to make it perfect. This was not a frame off restoration by a professional but I think you will be satisfied with this car. Those were the pros, now the cons, The carburetor need to be rebuilt, the generator does not show charge(new regulator) the gas gauge does not work and the AC pump is not installed. The AC evaporator is missing but I have all of the other parts to install the factory air. This car has never been on the road since I did the work. The engine has about three hours run time on it. The tires look new, but are about fifteen tears old and should be replaced. I have tried to list the good and the bad. I am not sorry about selling this car, After five years, I am sick of working on it. I will be happy to answer any questions. A $1000 non refundable deposit is required at the end of the auction and the balance due in cash within seven days of the close of auction. Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping, I can not help. Thank You |

Reese Witherspoon is coming to the dashboard of new Buicks
Sat, Oct 10 2020You've probably heard of Oprah Winfrey's Book Club, but did you know that Reese Witherspoon has one, too? She does, and Reese's Book Club has a reported 1.7 million followers on Instagram. The "Legally Blonde" star each month selects a book to read and discuss, with the common element being that each work features a woman at its center. Now, a Reese's Book Club app will be included in Buick infotainment systems, starting with the Encore GX and spreading early next year to other Buicks. The app, which features audiobooks and podcasts, is a product of Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine media company. "As more women are making vehicle-buying decisions, we want to be thinking creatively about tailoring the driving experience to them," said Buick advertising and media operations manager Kate Hrabovsky. There's another aspect to the partnership as well. Buicks are to be featured in Hello Sunshine's upcoming television and movie productions. The Encore GX is the first Buick set to receive some screen time. Who knows, maybe it will be as successful as the Pontiac Trans Am's star turn in "Smokey and the Bandit." Although the Hello Sunshine production in which the Encore GX will appear will likely be a very different movie — at the very least, the Sally Field character would do most of the driving.
GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Shanghai debuts, Jeep's new Rubicon anniversary rigs | Autoblog Podcast # 777
Fri, Apr 21 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a recap of the past week's worldwide debuts along with some updates from their recent adventures. They start off discussing the rumors of a new Ford Mustang Raptor and what that means in the context of previous rumors of a Corvette SUV. Then it's time to talk Shanghai, where Polestar, Buick, Volkswagen, Porsche and Lincoln all had big reveals. After that, they segue to Byron's trip to Moab for the 2023 Easter Jeep Safari preview where he drove the AEV Level II Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 20th Anniversary Edition. From there, they reminisce about Mustangs in a nod to the nameplate's 59th anniversary, after which they stick to the theme with a sub-$15,000 RWD used-car discussion. Is there anything worth buying in this price bracket in today's economy?
