   1957 Buick Century Convertible, a real red /red car very rare but incomplete

This is where the eye rolling starts and the timid lose interest.  This car was a very original complete car when it was sold to the owner of a restoration facility in 1995.  The facility took the car apart, completely apart and sent the body and frame to a shop for blasting and repairs.  The  primed frame is pretty decent from what i can see, the body shell has floor rust, some rocker rust, nice quarters, some trunk rust out, particularly in the wheel well.  The car has the vin plate on the door post and the trim plate on the cowl. That plate reads 57-66c, 57-4667x,3895, 600, 1MM,bfgj. So its the real deal, a very rare color combination when red and white was popular and this is double red.  So much for the good part!   I have a copy of the title and the owner of the shop who bought the car promises the actual title is available in his records but i have NOT seen it yet.  Hmmmm.  I purchased everything as is but i have a great relationship with shop owner and he will help . 

     The rest of the parts. A partial list of the actual parts i have which came off the car are as follows.  Fenders not bad, hood, trunk, doors one dented, stainless trim, bumpers, 2 57 grilles one real nice, most if not all other chrome like headlight trim, window frames etc. Some extra chrome.  Top assembly frame , steering column, wheels, many wheel covers, the entire rear end, the dash, at least the front seats, the rear interior side panels, radios, door interior panels, window glass and chrome trim and vents,  tons of misc mechanical parts and trim parts.  MISSING..DRIVETRAIN, WINDSHIELD,FRONT SUSPENSION.

     This is the right car for someone with a running 4 dr. parts car or someone who collects 57 buicks.  i have a lot of nice 56 buick stuff as well but they are not in this sale.....yet.  I realize this is a bizarre listing but i want to try it out and will be happy to talk to serious interested parties if it doesnt sell at auction.  I really want the buyer to come see it, i will be happy to put them up if they provide info that make me and family feel secure.  I would prefer to answer questions in direct emails but may struggle through them and post them.  i dont expect this to be an easy process but i am praying for someone to come along who knows what this is and has the where-with-all to deal with a project of this scope.  thanks to all for being understanding.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4

Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.

Buick Envision cabin detailed ahead of reveal later this month

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

Buick teased the arrival of the China-market Envision last month and gave us a few specs, now it's teasing the midsize crossover's interior and features. Having said it will "set a new benchmark in terms of space, safety, performance and specifications," we're told that equipment like the heated leather steering wheel and Bose-sourced active noise cancellation are market firsts in the segment.
Elsewhere, light will shine on occupants through the panoramic roof during the day and via ice blue ambient lighting at night, and seating surfaces are being shown off with dual-stitched leather. Lane departure warning and parking assist help keep the bodywork in order, stop/start ignition fitted to the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet will help keep fuel economy up. One more convenience for the model's core buyers: a tailgate that can be partially opened.
The Normal, Tour, Sport and Off-Road driving modes come courtesy of FlexRide, that last one - meant for extra-light-duty dirt work, naturally - appearing on a Buick for the first time.
