BUICK FOR 1960

The 1960 Buick launched a new decade in design innovation as Americans sought to identify success and prosperity with bold automotive statements cast in brilliant colors and remarkable shapes. Perhaps the finest example came from General Motors’ linear styling efforts using innovative driver controls and time-tested V8 power. Introduced in 1959 together with Buick's “Jet-Age” look, 1960 marked the second year of the “Four Fin” Buick characterized by deeply sculpted sides and B-52 inspired “Twin Jet-Pod nacelle headlamps” neatly tucked under the forward fin eye-brows.

Totally new for 1960, however, was the innovative “Jet Command Instrument Panel.” This ingenious design so impressed Harley Earl that he craved exposing it to other designers. Earl simply gave the Buick stylists a day off while marching the other design chiefs through the Buick studio! The highly innovative concept included “Mirro-Magic” technology that projected instrument readings to the driver through an actual mirror. The unique panel also included a gun-sight shift indicator finished off with “barber pole” aircraft inspired heater controls.

Under the hood is a 364 “Wildcat 385” “Nail head V8,” among the maker’s most dependable mills delivering smooth effortless power through the dependable Turbine Drive (Dynaflow) transmission.

Buick’s 1960 model year set lasting innovative design trends and remains today a technical and aesthetic feast for the eyes and senses.

Buick Encore takes a hit of Mokka to tackle Dakar

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

There are many vehicles we'd consider taking racing. Even on a cross-country rally as punishing as the Dakar. But a Buick Encore? That's not one that would enter our motorsports-based consciousness. Yet it's basically what General Motors is entering in the South American rally raid this year, and you're looking at it.
Unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show, this rally machine is based on (or at least billed as) an Opel Mokka - the name that GM's European brand applies to the vehicle Americans know as the Encore, Buick's subcompact crossover. Only it's obviously been extensively modified. It's got a ten-inch raised suspension, a 137-gallon fuel tank, carbon-fiber bodywork and... hold on, we're sure we're missing something here. Oh, right: a 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 340 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
In other words, this is not the same Encore (or Mokka) you can pick up at your local Buick, Opel or Vauxhall dealership. It's not even close. It's not even recognizable as such, really. It was unveiled alongside a more sedate Opel Mokka Moscow Edition and a slew of other local debuts for the Opel brand that you can read more about in the (translated and original) Russian press release below.

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
