Up for auction with NO RESERVE!!! is a beautiful, extremely clean and almost completely original, factory produced, California 1985 Buick Grand National! This is a real deal survivor, matching numbers Buick Grand National with the very rare factory sunroof and digital dash option. With only 62,888 low original miles on the factory Turbo-Charged V6 it is practically a time capsule for Buick’s flagship luxury muscle car of 1985. The paint is all-original to the car and shines very well as you can see in the pictures. GM paint quality from the 80’s is notoriously lousy so there is some fading on the rear spoiler and clear coat issues on the hood area. This might be able to be brought back with a good buff or wet sand. A car is only original once and this car still sports the paint job it rolled out of the factory with. The doors, hood and trunk line up properly and shut with a solid “thump” as they should. There is minor touchup paint on the rear driver quarter panel as seen in pic. There is some road wear here and there in the body and paint from the car being driven over the years but overall looks nice for being original to the car and from the mid 80’s. The factory emblems and decals are still in tact and look great. The factory Buick rally wheels are original to the car and in good condition. The tires are in great shape and have lots of tread left. All the exterior lighting is in good original condition and works as it should. The headlights, brake lights, back-up lights, high beams and turn signals all work great. The factory 200HP 300FT/LB 3.8 Liter Turbo-Charged V6 has only 62,888 original miles on it. It fires right up and has never left me stranded ever. The car does have an uneven idle at start up but goes away after warmed up and drives amazing as always. It is a blast to drive and keeps up very well in modern traffic either on the freeway, around town or just out for a cruise on a country back road. The engine bay is extremely clean and the factory hood heat shielding is in excellent condition. The hood hydraulics are weak and do not hold the hood up anymore, so they should be changed out. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and fluidly through all the gears with no stalling or hesitation. The rear end is also all-original to the car. It performs as it should with no whining or funny noises. The stock suspension is in great condition and really makes for a very comfortable ride. The stock brakes are in great condition and stop the car straight with no pulling to either side. They perform as they should and are very confidence inspiring. The interior of this Grand National is almost mint. Everything is original with the exception of a pioneer CD player installed in the factory location. The dash was not cut and the original factory stereo is included with the car. The more modern stereo system sounds fantastic compared to the original Buick deck but you could go back to the stock stereo if you desired. The front driver and passenger seats are in beautiful condition with no tears or rips anywhere. The power driver seat controls work as they should and adjust the seat properly. The carpet is very clean and free of any rips or tears. The back seats are very clean and have no rips or tears. There is a tiny small hole on the bottom portion of the passenger side back seat and there is a small hole about the size of a dime where the bottom and top portion of the driver side back seat meets. It is almost un-noticeable since it lies in the crevice portion of the seat as seen in pics. Can be patched for $150 making them perfect. Other than that all the seats are in excellent condition. The car since last ownership has been absolutely 100% a smoke free car and has no funny odors or smells at all. The door panels are very clean and free of scuff marks and nicks. Other than that the door panels are both very clean. All the controls on both door panels work as they should including the: power windows and lock/unlock buttons. The dash is in excellent condition with no cracks and has not been cut or modified. The rare factory gauges are digital and all work flawlessly and are accurate including the: speedometer, gas gauge, trip meter, tach, factory boost gauge, water temp and voltmeter. The factory turbo boost indication lights work properly as do all the dash lights and readouts. The digital climate control system was a rare option in 1985 and this Grand National has it. All the indicator lights and control buttons work as they should and the entire system works great. The A/C will need to be recharged as it has not been done in years. As mentioned before the pioneer CD player is in place of the stock stereo currently and it sounds amazing! The headliner is in excellent condition with no rips or tears and the vanity lights and courtesy lights all work great. All controls everywhere on the interior of the car work as they should. The center console is in great condition as well as the rest of the interior panels. The little chrome bits like the handles and lock pulls are in excellent condition with no pitting and are original to the car. The sunroof was a factory option and this one is in great shape with no cracks or nicks. It works as it should and the factory sliding cover is very clean and lines up properly. The trunk is very clean and the lid has been dynamated. There is a subwoofer box/amp with 2 MTX 12’s that is easily removable if you so desire but it does very much complement the existing stereo system. The trunk does not rattle thanks to the dynamat and the sound it produces is very clean and not muffled. The factory spare tire is still in the trunk and the original factory jack is also included with the car. This Grand National also has an alarm with keyless entry and panic functions and two key fobs are included. The original window sticker is included with the car from its sales date back in 1985. It shows the specs and options that this car was built with and is a very coveted piece of documentation with any classic car. This factory original, survivor, optioned out 1985 Buick Grand National is in excellent shape through and through. It is the perfect modern classic or collector car to kick off your summer with a bang! Nice, un-molested, factory original examples of Grand Nationals are getting harder and harder to find. In 1985 just 2102 were sold. Who knows how many remain. Most were stolen, hacked up or crashed leaving them with a salvaged title, but not this one!!..

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
The new Opel Insignia might be a great Buick, but it's a sad Holden Commodore
Thu, Dec 8 2016Since the first shots of the uncovered Opel Insignia hit our inboxes, we've been filled with excitement for the new sedan. It looks great, it should come to America with little to no visual changes as the Buick Regal, and we might even get a wagon version. Unfortunately, there's a lead lining to this silver cloud, and it comes to us from Down Under. You see, the Opel Insignia is also undergoing a re-badging job in Australia to become the new Holden Commodore. It's replacing the beloved rear-drive Commodore (with an optional V8 and ultra-high performance HSV variants) with a front-drive-based platform offering four- or six-cylinder engines. This is depressing news considering the Zeta-platform underpinning the Commodore VF spawned the Pontiac G8, Chevrolet SS, and fifth-generation Camaro. Knowing this was going to happen doesn't help much either. What makes it all worse is that the new Commodore doesn't have a shred of unique styling in the bodywork. That's not an exaggeration. A new grille with a Holden lion badge instead of an Opel lightning bolt badge is the only change. See for yourself in the Insignia gallery below. Not only did GM erase a unique Australian model, it didn't even allow the brand to give the car a distinct shape. It's sort of like when Ford planned to replace the Mustang with the Mazda-derived Probe. The Probe wasn't that bad for the time, but it was no Mustang. At least in that case the Mustang survived. View 12 Photos Before we get ourselves too down, we should mention that there are reasons to be hopeful for the future. For one thing, the new all-wheel-drive Commodore/Insignias will come with a version of the GKN-developed rear differential found in the Focus RS and Range Rover Evoque, which is pretty neat on its own. And Opel/Vauxhall have always had wild performance versions of the Insignia and its Vectra predecessor. The last one made 325-horsepower and had all-wheel-drive. A new one would likely produce much more, since one of the available V6s makes 308 horsepower. Then imagine all of that extra hypothetical horsepower hooked up to the all-wheel-drive system that introduced us to "drift mode." Not only that, but rear-drive Holdens may not be completely dead yet. A Belgian man announced his intention to buy an old Holden factory along with the tooling and rights for the car once it was discontinued. His plan is to continue producing the old model after Holden is done with it.
