1965 BUICK SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE, 300ci V8, AT This was refurbished approx 20 years ago & the photos clearly show it has been well cared for since. The paint is glossy & the top & interior still like new. It starts easily, doesn't smoke or leak oil & the engine makes no unusual noises. The dual exhausts put out a nice muscle car rumble. This is being sold as is straight out of the indoor climate controled garage it was recently "freed" from, locked up too long, a yellow canary caged & unloved. :( It simply needs to be driven & enjoyed rather than locked away. :) All that was done to prepare it for photos was a hand wash & interior cleaning. A full tank of premium gas was added to help clear up the few gallons of old. The car drives great but really needs to get out & run again on a consistent basis. There is no floor pan, trunk pan or frame rust in this convertible! I believe that fact alone proves this cars constant garage kept status. You will not believe how nice the top is! There is not a single rip or spot of dry rot. The old power top motor is weak & requires two people to "help" it up & down. Ahh... just one of the many joys of owning a classic car. Even Grandma needs help up & down & you still love her! :) Those are very classic, original bias ply Goodyear redline tires with no dry rot, not even in the tread! I don't have to tell you it takes a great deal of care to keep tires this old from dry rot. The wheels have full chrome & all centers. The bumper chrome is super bright & I suspect they have been re-chromed because I just can't imagine 50 year old chrome to look that bright but who knows this is a garage kept car with just over 75K. The body trim condition matches the bumpers in appearance. The carpet has no rips, not even under the floor mats, tho it is a little stained here & there: can't always have perfection! The bucket seats are still solid, tightly applied & very comfortable for their age. The piping has the tiniest bit of wear on the edges & 2 button accents are missing on the rear seat material but otherwise you can clearly tell this has been indoors: free of dry rot or heavy sun fade. The interior has no musty smells, in fact the car has that pleasant old car smell that for some reason make you love them even more. The dash is also original with the original AM radio in place (not working), original coloring, no rips in the dash pad, etc. The brakes, radiator, electrical system, wipers, dual exhaust, gas tank, fuel system, etc are all functional, solid & acceptable. Nice options include the adjustable drivers side mirror & front seat belts. The glass is all good, no cracks, chips, discoloration, even the tops rear plastic "window" is crack free. The passenger side rear glass needs an extra hand to get it up & down. The paint is not show quality, it is bright & glossy with no dull spots but there are light chips from bumps in a tight garage but no more than expected for its vintage. The body did not appear to have been rusty when repaired, dented yes, but no rust bubbles are popping out anywhere. I would say the paint is about 85% & more than attractive for a daily driver. Paint has been well applied, liberally over every surface evenly & correctly: under the hood, trunk lid, door jambs, etc & those details greatly add to the overall eye appeal of this cool ride. Please bid often & to win & you will quickly meet the reserve that is well below market value. Why? Because we want to actually SELL this vehicle the FIRST time its listed. Use the money you save to have it shipped or to spruce it up a bit. The winning bidder will get to brag to friends about all the money they saved! We don't have a Barrett Jackson price in mind or even need to get "BOOK". Its just time to get this classic to a home that will DRIVE it. We will take the money made & buy another classic car because we love them. We already have a car in mind so we won't be accepting trade offers. If you love cars thanks for reading & considering our listing, hope you enjoyed it & would greatly appreciate any helpful or positive comments. Heck, if you have something negative to say, go for it, everybody needs a good laugh now & then. We tried to get your the best description we could but certainly we missed something important so please feel free to ask anything you would like to know, your questions will be answered quickly, honestly & to the best of our ability. The auction ends at exactly 9:00 EST, 8:00 Central, 7:00 Mt, 6:00 Pacific, Friday, May 30th so please be there to win! A non-refundable $200 deposit is required from the winning bidder, due via PayPal within 24 hours after the auction ends, to hold the vehicle (this proves you are fully committed to completing this transaction). No trades. Full payment is due within 3 days of auction end via cash, bank-to-bank or wire transfer, or certified bank check (drawn on a major US bank). Clear title in my name is in hand and vehicle can be scheduled for buyer pickup by appointment at anytime after full payment is received and cleared. I can hold the vehicle in indoor storage for 15 days (storage is $10.00 per day starting day 16). We are happy to work with the buyer to arrange shipping. We realize the deal is not complete until you have the car in your possession & we want that as badly as you do. Its only fair that once full payment is made that you should get your purchased item quickly. Rest assured we will do everything in our power to insure that happens as quickly & safely as possible. Once you decide on a carrier we work directly with your shipper to get the job done & report back to you just as quickly. Anything you need, we are here to serve. This 50 year old classic car is being sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied. Please don't bid unless you are serious about the pleasures & occasional disappointments involved with vintage automobiles. Thank you. |

Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
2014 Buick Regal GS AWD
Thu, 27 Feb 2014"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude
Fri, Oct 6 2017ATLANTA, Ga. — The 2018 Enclave is part of Buick's effort to reinvigorate its brand, positioning itself as a maker of "attainable luxury" vehicles. That means a total redesign, a number of safety and technology upgrades, and the introduction of the Avenir sub-brand (think of that last one as sort of the Denali of Buick). It also means more space and more luxury. With this in mind, we traveled to Atlanta to get to know the new Enclave, both in the city and on a long drive through the Blue Ridge Mountains into North Carolina. Our first impressions of the new Enclave came not from the driver's seat, but from a captain's chair in the second row (which is the traditional seating arrangement for a true captain, of course). We were riding from the Atlanta airport to a studio to learn more about the vehicle. That very first impression was, "Wow, this interior is really nice." The leather upon which we sat was soft, smooth to the touch, and interesting in its shapeliness. Looking around the cabin, we saw a lot of gentle curves and thoughtful accents that made the inside of the Enclave feel downright premium. It was a fresh and airy sense of taste though, and definitely not the seasoned wood-and-whiskey stodginess one might expect from the Buick name. Our second impression: "Boy, it's quiet in here." Heading toward downtown Atlanta on the freeway, we were unable to pick up wind noise, and only just a smidge of road noise as the Enclave trundled over the occasional rough patch of pavement. This is, of course, completely intentional on the part of Buick. The windshield and front windows use acoustic glass. The doors are triple sealed for a tighter, quieter fit when closed. Buick has insulated the Enclave with more sound deadening and included active noise cancellation. "Our goal is to make it as social as possible," said Dean Perelli, chief engineer for the Enclave. And social it is. It is easy to carry on conversation across the Enclave's three roomy rows. When we got out of the Enclave, we had a chance to take it in from the outside. It features attractive, wing-like lighting front and rear. The front signature lighting uses technology called "Evonik Acrylite," (a mouthful, even for the engineers) which is a polycarbonate material arranged in a dazzling, faceted and delicate array. The paint finishes we saw were attractive, with depth.
