1990 Buick Hearse By Eagle Coach on 2040-cars
Mesa, Arizona, United States
1990 black Buick hearse by Eagle coach. Very good cosmetically, excellent mechanically! Owned only by two funeral homes before I bought it. It has a 5.0L V8 and is the last year of the 4-barrell carburetor for Buick. This hearse is built on the Buick Estate Wagon industrial platform and has only 36,000 original miles! All curtains are intact and the coffin rollers work freely. The upholstery is in excellent condition, as well as the "passenger" section. It would be an excellent backup hearse for a funeral home, or a great way to haul just about anything, or just a really cool ride. I drove it over 1,000 miles with no problems at all getting 15-18 mpg (thanks to the 4-speed automatic with overdrive). It has ice-cold air, cruise control, power windows, power brakes, power door locks, tilt wheel, a new exhaust, a wig-wag headlight circuit, and no mechanical problems that I know of. A test drive will say it all! The load-leveling rear shocks were replaced with conventional shocks and the air compressor disconnected (they haven't made parts for these in years). The tires are good and all glass is intact with no windshield cracks or chips. The top material is in excellent condition, indicating the vehicle was always garaged while in service. As to cosmetic flaws, the basic Delco radio and power antenna do not work, it has a few stains under the arm rest on the front seat, is missing a right-rear corner trim piece by the rear bumper, as well as some brittle trim pieces behind the 5 mph bumpers (you really have to look for these). Also, the headliner material is completely intact, however, is sagging due to the foam backing deterioration. Any upholstery shop could replace this backing. There may be other minor paint flaws here and there. You will not find a better example of a hearse of this vintage with lower miles! No tax because I am NOT a dealer! This hearse was purchased by me exclusively for my last Halloween party; only selling it because I am moving. Yes, that is a real wooden coffin in back, and is INCLUDED (a good prop, but could use some paint touch-up to be used for a service)! This is for local pickup ONLY. I (personally) would NEVER buy a vehicle without seeing it (or having it locally inspected), so come see it yourself in person or send a rep so that you know exactly what you are looking at. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Hertz and GM team up to put 175,000 rental EVs on the road
Tue, Sep 20 2022Hertz and General Motors have announced a significant partnership that will send up to 175,000 electric vehicles into rental fleets across the country. The deal will unfold over the next five years and include vehicles from all GM brands. Â The partnership will run through 2027. Hertz estimates that the electric fleet can save as many as 8 billion gasoline-powered miles, removing 1.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions from the air. Hertz says it will invest in becoming the largest renter of EVs in North America and notes that it already has tens of thousands available at 500 locations in 38 states. By the end of 2024, it plans to electrify a quarter of its fleet. Electric rental cars are a great way for travelers wanting to avoid gas, and they make excellent urban commuter cars. Hertz will also likely save a few dollars by avoiding oil changes and other routine maintenance that gas engines need. However, a hidden societal benefit of this deal may come when Hertz’s EV rental customers begin shopping for new cars. Many people are skeptical of EVs for various reasons, including range, charging, ease of operation, and cost. Giving people a low-risk introduction to EVs and the ability to test-drive one without a pressuring salesperson could drive more people to electrics. At the same time, there's also the risk that renters wanting to take their Hertz-GM EV on a road trip into sparsely populated areas may return with charging and range-related horror stories. Hertz currently doesnÂ’t ask what youÂ’re planning to do with your rental, but it does offer a chat service for questions, and range information is presented clearly on each vehicle.

5 reasons why GM is cutting jobs, closing plants in a healthy economy
Tue, Nov 27 2018DETROIT — Even though unemployment is low, the economy is growing and U.S. auto sales are near historic highs, General Motors is cutting thousands of jobs in a major restructuring aimed at generating cash to spend on innovation. It's the new reality for automakers that are faced with the present cost of designing gas-powered cars and trucks that appeal to buyers now while at the same time preparing for a future world of electric and autonomous vehicles. GM announced Monday that it will cut as many as 14,000 workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it abandons many of its car models and restructures to focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. The reductions could amount to as much as 8 percent of GM's global workforce of 180,000 employees. The cuts mark GM's first major downsizing since shedding thousands of jobs in the Great Recession. The company also said it will stop operating two additional factories outside North America by the end of next year. The move to make GM get leaner before the next downturn likely will be followed by Ford Motor Co., which also has struggled to keep one foot in the present and another in an ambiguous future of new mobility. Ford has been slower to react, but says it will lay off an unspecified number of white-collar workers as it exits much of the car market in favor of trucks and SUVs, some of them powered by batteries. Here's a rundown of the reasons behind the cuts: Coding, not combustion CEO Mary Barra said as cars and trucks become more complex, GM will need more computer coders but fewer engineers who work on internal combustion engines. "The vehicle has become much more software-oriented" with millions of lines of code, she said. "We still need many technical resources in the company." Shedding sedans The restructuring also reflects changing North American auto markets as manufacturers continue to shift away from cars toward SUVs and trucks. In October, almost 65 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were trucks or SUVs. That figure was about 50 percent cars just five years ago. GM is shedding cars largely because it doesn't make money on them, Citi analyst Itay Michaeli wrote in a note to investors. "We estimate sedans operate at a significant loss, hence the need for classic restructuring," he wrote. The reduction includes about 8,000 white-collar employees, or 15 percent of GM's North American white-collar workforce. Some will take buyouts while others will be laid off.
Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident
Sat, 09 Mar 2013A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.
