1951 Buick Roadmaster Convertible on 2040-cars
Spring, Texas, United States

1951 Buick Roadmaster Convertible It breaks my heart to have to sell this Unique Specimen of Automotive Art. I have owned this car for many years as I purchased it from a Widow Lady whose father purchased it new in 1951. She told about the day her father went to pick the car up at the Buick Dealership. She was the oldest and luckiest of five siblings as she got to go with her father to pick up the car. She remembers how her Dad put the Convertible top down and her long hair went all directions in the breeze. As she grew older her father let her drive the car in the Homecoming Parades. She recently passed but I cherish the stories she related to me of her long lasting love for the Roadmaster. When her father passed the car was left to her and her husband. In 1992 her husband passed but only after a ten year swap meet effort to find as many NOS parts as he could for his ongoing restoration of the vehicle. And he did. NOS Rear Fenders, Stainless Steel Moldings and numerous other items. He had a new interior of Red and White made for the car by a Company in Chicago. They did a fine job. I have the completed door panels and everything else that goes with the interior. All new weather stripping and many many extra parts. All of the chrome has been redone and the bumpers put back together ready for installation. The motor purrs like a kitten. I recall my dad who was a dyed in the wool Buick Connoisseur telling me that he could tune a Straight Eight Buick Engine to keep a quarter standing on its end during acceleration. Those Pierce Arrows didn't have a thing on a Buick he would say. Due to health issues of my own I am forced to sell this awesome motor car. I never got the time to put it back together. I did the brakes and a few other things and often drove it around the block for exercise, even without the front fenders on. I am told that the motor was rebuilt during the restoration endeavor. I have kept the car and all of the parts in a Climate Controlled environment. Look at the pictures close and either email me at daveglassel@gmail.com Text or call me at 832 533 7767 I am asking $25,000 for the car FOB Houston, Texas. I can arrange delivery if need be.

Buick struggling to keep up with Encore demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Buick is having a hard time keeping up with demand for its all-new Encore mini-CUV, according to a report from Automotive News. The stylish, lifted five-door went on sale in January, but dealers have reported that supplies have dwindled after the initial high demand, taking the proverbial "wind out of the sails."
General Motors admits that it underestimated demand for the diminutive Buick, which is built in Korea and sold as the Opel Mokka in Europe, where it's also seen success. Buick spokesperson Nick Richards told AN, "We increased production, so there have been a lot more landing within the last month."
Buick has done a booming business, though, even with its limited supply of Encores. With over 12,000 units sold in the first half of 2013, the small CUV is on pace to annihilate industry analysts' estimates, which predicted no more than 18,500 units in 2013. We're not entirely surprised. When we first drove the Encore late last year, Autoblog professed that we had no idea how sales would turn out, as the Encore wasn't really entering into an established segment. Even so, wefound a surprising amount to like in the Encore, enough that we "wouldn't bet against it" being a major success.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
