Let me tell you the story of "BERTIE". Her son was originaly given this car in 1977 as his compny car when he was a casino manager in Las Vegas. 3 years later he gave it to his mother BERTIE for her 70th birthday. BERTIE loved and drove this car for around 25 years until she quit driving in her mid 90's. The car was always very well cared for as BERTIE children wanted to make sure she had a safe and reliable car. She refued to trad it for a newer car because she loved this big old Buick so much. When she quit driveing the car went into the family trust and was used very little for the next few years, but still very well maintained. Then in 2010 BERTIE"S children decided to restore it so BERTIE could take it for a short drive on her 100th birthday, 30 years after she was originally given the car from her son. The restoration included a complete color change as the car was originally green on green, and BERTIE had always wished it was yellow. So it got a new beige vinyl top. Then it went to the body shop for a complete color change to the beautiful yellow it is today. They did a very good job, but did not fix the door hinge on the drivers door as they were supposed to. There are a couple of places near the bottom of the car where there are minor paint runs, would be simple to color sand out, buff and wax. Also several of the clips for the side trim were broken and need to be replaced. Again, an easy fix. All chrome removed is in the trunk, nothings been thrown away.Then on to the upholstery shop. Unfortunately even tho they did great work on the big things, like the seats, carpet, headliner and dash, it became obvious that weren't experts when it came to putting everything back together. Although it looks great overall, there are minor items that still need to be finished or corrected. The center steering wheel piece never got put on. The door panels are put on incorrectly and could be better. They replaced the dash with a beige one from a Park Avenue, which is identical except that there is no place for the large clock that should be on the passenger side. When the dash was reinstalled they did not hook up the speakers for the radio or the duct work for the A/C. The A/C does work, it just doesn't come out where it should. The good news that all of the parts that were removed are in the trunk, including many extra parts that they obtained in doing the interior color change.
The Story does have a happy ending, BERTIE did get it back for her 100th birthday
and did take it for a short drive that thrilled her to no end.

On Oct-08-13 at 17:07:40 PDT, seller added the following information:
I also have a stack of receipts for this car going back to the seventies. The original owners manual, repair manuals, and pix of it before the restoration was begun. Car was never hit and never had any rust. Originally bought right here in Vegas, was in Texas for a short time, then back here to Vegas. The seat belts were never reinstalled after the carpet was put in, but they are in the trunk. I have 2 sets of keys, I think they are original. The odometer quit on me last week when I was bringing it to my house in Mesquite from Las Vegas, but the speedo still works fine.
This car would make a great low rider.

Opel Cascada is Europe's Buick convertible [w/video]
Wed, 17 Oct 2012As we reported earlier, there has been much speculation regarding a Buick convertible of sorts. The most ringing endorsement of this conjecture comes today from General Motors Europe, as the new Opel Cascada has debuted on the interwebs. Opel calls the four-passenger Cascada an "athletic, glamorous midsize convertible." With a length of 4,697mm (185 in.), the Cascada is as long as an Audi A5, to which GM has said it would be slightly larger.
The Cascada, which is Spanish for waterfall, features a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
According to GM, the Cascada will also come rife with luxury and tech features. In addition to adaptive forward lighting and ergonomic heated front seats, the convertible will feature Opel Eye, which is a front camera that can recognize traffic signs and incorporates lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
2022 Buick Enclave revealed with refreshed styling, more standard features
Thu, Jun 3 2021Buick gave us a sneak peak at the 2022 Enclave back in January, but it officially pulled the sheet back Wednesday to reveal the extent of its updated styling and detail a few updates to its feature content, including a new suite of standard safety tech. We can now better see the various exterior styling touch-ups, including a larger, more pronounced grille, new head- and taillights, and more angularly sculpted front and rear bumpers. The Avenir's exterior treatment was also updated to incorporate the new elements. The changes aren't too dramatic, but Buick did enough to make the 2022 visually distinguishable from previous years. The new standard safety suite is Buick's Driver Confidence Plus package. It includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist with lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, rear park assist, rear cross-traffic alert and automatic high-beams. Buick's midsize crossover is still powered by a standard 310-horsepower V6 with optional all-wheel drive. The range-topping Avenir model includes an adaptive suspension and unique styling elements. Despite our previous expectations, the Enclave's cabin didn't really get an upgrade apart from the standard safety items listed above. Buick did not include pricing information in Wednesday's announcement, so you can look forward to yet another update before the 2022 Enclave goes on sale later this year.
