1955 Buick Century Summary;
I am selling the last of three vehicles from my collection to free up space in my garage. I had bought this 1955 Buick Century Riviera Hardtop several years ago from the widow of the former owner. The car had been purchased in 1987 from the original owner by the last owner and he was a garage owner that only added approximately 1,500 miles to it in the time that he owned it. He kept the car garaged during his ownership. The car has the original unmolested interior in it. As can be see, the drivers seat panel has some seam separations. In general the seats look ok, however they are far from perfect and have edge marks and slight damage. The original carpet remains in the car and the drivers side has the most wear. The headliner is intact and does not appear to be damaged. The chrome bows are also all intact. The door panels also have some wear from the years and are illustrated in the photo's and the drivers door arm rest has some rips. When I had purchased the car, I changed the master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes and rubber brake hoses as well as had the drums turned. The fuel pump has been rebuilt with the modern materials for the new gasoline. A carburetor kit was also installed in the carburetor. The points were converted to the Pertronix system. The radio, fuel gage, oil pressure gage and ammeter all function properly while the temperature gage does not. The wipers are vacuum style wipers and the the wipers will lift but not return when the switch is turned. I would expect that the wiper motor needs to be rebuilt. The car is an automatic and the transmission functions smoothly and well, however, the front seal is leaking and there is a small leak when the car is parked. The oil pressure runs near the high end of normal range - I use 15W - 40 Rotella. The car was painted at some point in it's life, however the paint is faded and has scratches and dings. The chrome is presentable, but it is showing its age as well. Additionally, on the roof are two spots where there was some light denting due to someone storing something on the roof. The exhaust system is not rusty, but as you may hear in the videos, there is a seam at the end of the muffler that has a slight opening and is leaking. The car has power steering and it works perfectly. The car is not a rusty vehicle as can be seen in the photos. The engine runs well as can be seen on the two videos that I have posted on Youtube. I can only put partial links in e-bay since there is some restriction. Please cut and paste the following partial links to the videos to see the car. You will need to add the "www," to the front of the string when you paste it into your browser. I am selling this car as I have two of my others as I have run out of room and I am selling some of my collection. I have tried to capture the condition in the photographs of the vehicle. If you have specific questions, please contact me through e-bay, if provided with a contact number, I will call you. While I love the car and think that it looks ok, handles and runs great, I welcome and encourage you to get an inspection performed. I want you to be as happy with the car as I have been and I think that the best judge of the car meeting your expectations will be you. The car can be inspected by appointment, please send me the contact information through e-bay. If you are the winning bidder, you will be required to pay the $500 deposit through Paypal within 48 hours. As I am selling the car to free up space in my garages, the car must be removed from the premises within 10 business days of the funds clearing at my bank unless other arrangements are made in advance. The car is 59 years old and while I like the car, I am not providing any warranty and the car is being sold AS IS. It is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Thank you for looking and thank you for bidding. Good luck! I have set-up several videos of the car starting and driving; youtube.com/watch?v=vncO6RFCW4s youtube.com/watch?v=84qu9Io6CmA On the youtube links, you must cut and paste them into your browser and add the www. to the front of the string. I am sorry, but don't know how else to get the links visible in ebay. Thank you for looking and I hope that this helps in your assessment!

GM earnings rise 1% as buyers pay more for popular pickups
Thu, Aug 1 2019DETROIT — General Motors said Thursday that higher prices for popular pickup trucks and SUVs helped overcome slowing global sales and profit rose by 1% in the second quarter. The Detroit automaker said it made $2.42 billion, or $1.66 per share, from April through June. Adjusting for restructuring costs, GM made $1.64 per share, blowing by analyst estimates of $1.44. Quarterly revenue fell 2% to $36.06 billion, but still beat estimates. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $35.97 billion. Global sales fell 6% to 1.94 million vehicles led by declines in North America and Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The company says sales in China were weak, and it expects that to continue through the year. In the United States, customers paid an average of $41,461 for a GM vehicle during the quarter, an increase of 2.2%, as buyers went for loaded-out pickups and SUVs, according to the Edmunds.com auto pricing site. The U.S. is GM's most profitable market. Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara said she expects the strong pricing to continue, especially as GM rolls out a diesel pickup and new heavy-duty trucks in the second half of the year. "We think the fundamentals do remain strong, especially in the truck market," she said, adding that strength in the overall economy and aging trucks now on the road should help keep the trend going. Light trucks accounted for 83.1% of GM's sales in the quarter, and pickup truck sales rose 8.5% as GM transitioned to new models of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, according to Edmunds, which provides content to The Associated Press. As usual, GM made most of its money in North America, reporting $3 billion in pretax earnings. International operations including China broke even, while the company spent $300 million on its GM Cruise automated vehicle unit. Its financial arm made $500 million in pretax income. Suryadevara said GM saw $700 million in savings during the quarter from restructuring actions announced late last year that included cutting about 8,000 white-collar workers through layoffs, buyouts and early retirements. The company also announced plans to close five North American factories, shedding another 6,000 jobs. About 3,000 factory workers in the U.S. whose jobs were eliminated at four plants will be placed at other factories, but they could have to relocate. GM expects the restructuring to generate $2 billion to $2.5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of this year.
Reese Witherspoon is coming to the dashboard of new Buicks
Sat, Oct 10 2020You've probably heard of Oprah Winfrey's Book Club, but did you know that Reese Witherspoon has one, too? She does, and Reese's Book Club has a reported 1.7 million followers on Instagram. The "Legally Blonde" star each month selects a book to read and discuss, with the common element being that each work features a woman at its center. Now, a Reese's Book Club app will be included in Buick infotainment systems, starting with the Encore GX and spreading early next year to other Buicks. The app, which features audiobooks and podcasts, is a product of Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine media company. "As more women are making vehicle-buying decisions, we want to be thinking creatively about tailoring the driving experience to them," said Buick advertising and media operations manager Kate Hrabovsky. There's another aspect to the partnership as well. Buicks are to be featured in Hello Sunshine's upcoming television and movie productions. The Encore GX is the first Buick set to receive some screen time. Who knows, maybe it will be as successful as the Pontiac Trans Am's star turn in "Smokey and the Bandit." Although the Hello Sunshine production in which the Encore GX will appear will likely be a very different movie — at the very least, the Sally Field character would do most of the driving.
