Dont miss out on this Rare hard to find in this condition 1973 Buick Century GS. tHIS UNIT IS A VIRGIN PRETTY MUCH UNTOUCHED 90% ORIGINAL PAINT ONE SMALL RUB MARK IN THE PASSENGERS DOOR BUT FOR THE RIGHT COLLECTOR ONE CAR HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION. NICE ENOUGH TO MAKE HEMMINGS MAGAZINE 2/1/2010PLUS IT COMES WITH ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL PAPER WORK INCLUDING THE WINDOW STICKER. LOOKS GREAT RUNS GREAT NEEDS NOTHING ! Feature Article from Hemmings Motor NewsFebruary, 2010 - Tucked in among the bumper crop of offerings at the 2009 AACA Fall Meet was this colonnade: Buick's 1973 Gran Sport. Rarely seen and often underappreciated, a properly equipped Gran Sport (that is the official name; the GS designation was dropped after 1972) was still a viable muscle car in a very unmuscular automotive world. To get there, however, you had to move further down the option chart since the Gran Sport package was relegated to a trim level. Its base two-barrel, 350-cu.in. V-8 could have been swapped out for a four-barrel 350, a 455 or the high-demand 455 Stage 1; the M-21 four-speed was also offered, but the Stage 1 mandated the Turbo 400 automatic.
The seller of this particular example provided onlookers with the original dealer order sheet that listed 21 options, including the 190hp four-barrel 350 ($46); custom paint ($113); vinyl top ($84); dual exhaust ($30); chrome wheels ($92); whitewalls ($32); air conditioning ($397); GS package ($173). In all, the 21 options added $1,689 to the base Century's $3,130.45 sticker.
Said sticker aside, we did one quick lap around the find, anticipating the discovery of rust, as is often the case with 1970s metal. What we instead found was nothing but very presentable paint over seemingly original body panels. The same could be said of the interior, which, viewed through locked doors looked nearly blemish-free. In fact, it actually looked as though it was an as-advertised low-mileage car.
And there we stood, staring lustfully at a fine example of posh performance. Dreams of endless, empty highway flashed past with the faint sound of Flint's more fuel-efficient 350 singing its wide-open gospel. Whether or not anyone actually jumped at the chance to pilot this big-bumper Buick off the Hershey Park grounds is unknown to us.

GM recalls nearly 24,000 Buick Regals for brake issue
Mon, Jul 18 2022Buick is recalling 2018-2020 model year Regals to address a software defect in the braking system that would result in a loss of power assist under certain circumstances, making the brakes difficult to operate and potentially leading to a crash. In total, 23,734 models are covered by the campaign. "In the event of a partial or full loss of vacuum-brake assist, the vehicle’s hydraulic-brake boost is designed to supply supplemental pressure to the vehicleÂ’s brake system. A software error in the electronic brake control module (EBCM) may fail to activate the hydraulic-brake boost under these conditions," GM said in its defect report to NHTSA. "If the vehicleÂ’s vacuum-power brake assist partially or fully fails, braking events may require additional stopping distance, depending on the brake pedal force applied by the driver. Increased stopping distances could increase the risk of a crash." GM says that a warning indicator will illuminate in the dash if the system completely fails, and drivers may notice an increase in brake pedal resistance. Failure will not render the brakes inoperable, but they will require more force to operate. GM has begun notifying dealers of the defect; owners should be notified starting in August.  Related video: Recalls Buick GM Safety Hatchback Wagon Sedan
Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
Buick Envision cabin detailed ahead of reveal later this month
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Buick teased the arrival of the China-market Envision last month and gave us a few specs, now it's teasing the midsize crossover's interior and features. Having said it will "set a new benchmark in terms of space, safety, performance and specifications," we're told that equipment like the heated leather steering wheel and Bose-sourced active noise cancellation are market firsts in the segment.
Elsewhere, light will shine on occupants through the panoramic roof during the day and via ice blue ambient lighting at night, and seating surfaces are being shown off with dual-stitched leather. Lane departure warning and parking assist help keep the bodywork in order, stop/start ignition fitted to the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet will help keep fuel economy up. One more convenience for the model's core buyers: a tailgate that can be partially opened.
The Normal, Tour, Sport and Off-Road driving modes come courtesy of FlexRide, that last one - meant for extra-light-duty dirt work, naturally - appearing on a Buick for the first time.
