1955 Buick Century ![]()
This beautiful 1955 Buick was purchased with the intention of showing it this up-coming car show season, but it doesn't appear myself or my family will be showing this one as much as we would like. Therefore, I would like to give someone else an opportunity to own this car great car. These cars are known by many as the 'Hot Rod' Buick, as it has the same wheelbase and body as the lower-priced Special series, but with added trim, amenities, and the higher horsepower Roadmaster engine (signified by the fourth "port hole" on the side) ... The model name came about with Buick's first 1936 Century model, named for its ability to cruise 100 mph. This car always draws a crowd at the shows & cruise-ins, gets long stares on the road, and long conversations at the gas pump! This will be a good investment and a fun car for the next owner. Should win a trophy at all of your local car shows ; )

This Buick was treated to a light cosmetic restoration a few years back, but had a complete mechanical restoration about 3 years ago. It was an original survivor for many years. Had only two owners between 1955-2011 ... There is a lot of good looking original chrome, great body, etc. The paint job looks very good from any respectable distance and the underside of the car is nice as well. There may be a few driving chips/polishing scratches/flaws due to age/driving, but as you can see, it looks great. The interior is beautiful and has almost no evidence of age/wear at all. Lots more money spent on this car than the reserve price.
The engine idles very well, makes great power, and starts easy every time (also sounds great!). The transmission also operates well. The car gets down the road and will flow with modern traffic effortlessly. All the gauges, lights, and horn work. Everything works. Clock and radio too! It drives about as close to a brand new one as you will find. Overall, it's a sharp looking and driving Buick and you'd be hard pressed to find another one like it!
I welcome inspections and appraisers. Shown by appointment.

Opel, General Motors' troubled German brand continues its quest to reinvent itself and find solid profitability. In the course of that metamorphosis, the company has a bit of good news/bad news today. The good news is, it will once again begin screwing together Buick models for the American market. The bad news, though, is that it's being shut down in yet another country, China.
Let's start with the good news. The last vehicle Opel's Ruesselsheim factory built for the North American market was the early run of the then-new Regal, which is based heavily on the Opel Insignia. Production ran for just over two years, from 2009 to 2011, before moving production to Oshawa, Ontario.
Now, thanks to a 245-million-euro investment (just over $336 million), Opel will kick off production of a unspecified model for the US in the "second half of the decade," according to Automotive News. According to Opel, the new model will be announced before the end of 2014. You can begin your speculation about this new model down in Comments (we're wagering it'll be the Cascada convertible, sold here under the Buick umbrella).

General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.

Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
