Original 1946 Black Buick Roadmaster - Everything Works, Beautiful Interior on 2040-cars
Sisters, Oregon, United States
If you are looking for a sleek, very cool, reliable “Black
Shadow” look no more. One of the few surviving original 1946 Roadmasters I have
a file of 17,000.00 in receipts from the previous 86 year old owner. From
rebuilt radio, rebuilt speedometer, gauges, lights, dual heating system,
everything works. The exception is the crazy clock that creates its own time.
We have a beautiful replacement that goes with the car. I recently drove the
car 3507 trouble free miles (exception a squirt gun leak in a heater hose)
along Route 66 and back to Oregon. Once I returned I had our mechanics go
through the car stem to stern. General safety check, oil leaks, transmission,
clutch, valve adjustment, lube, oil, filter. Another 3400.00 invested in this rare
original beauty.
Pay careful attention to the photos. If you’re looking for a show winning car “Black Shadow” is not for you. The chrome is original, the paint is seasoned with some minor surface spots, the Buick has its own language of hums and air flow. As you can see from the photos the car has no rust beyond surface paint and is in amazing condition for an original car. Always garaged and always loved. In the background of the Roadmaster you’ll see our families FivePine Lodge in Sisters Oregon. If you elect to drive the car home we will provide you a complimentary night in one of our cabins and a full tank of gas. In addition if you take the road trip option we’ll include a container of replacement parts including oil filter, fan belt, plugs, points, etc. Also included are the two shop manuals and the maintenance book. Looking for adventure, heading down the highway? Come to Sisters Oregon, drive the Roadmaster to whatever comes your way. |

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.
Buick version of Equinox/Terrain CUV spied testing... with autonomous gear?
Wed, 12 Jun 2013Let's get the most pressing bits of this story out of the way right off the bat: What we see here appears to be a new compact crossover from Buick. According to the spy photographer, this machine may be a little bit smaller on the outside than the current Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain 'utes, which makes sense since recent rumors suggest GM's small crossovers will migrate to a new platform that will mark a convergence between the automaker's Delta (Chevy Cruze, Buick Verano) and Theta (Equinox, Terrain) platforms. This Buick would likely use this new D2UX platform.
We've been expecting Buick to unleash a crossover to slot between the very small Encore and the very large Enclave, and various rumors have indicated that the model may be known as either the Anthem or Envision. It's worth mentioning that Buick had planned, back in 2009, to release a vehicle in the compact CUV market, but abandoned those plans after a particularly poor reception.
And now for something completely different... Take another look at the spy shots above, and pay special attention to the cylindrical device mounted to the vehicle's roof. We can't say for sure what it is, but our spy photographer opines that it looks quite a bit like the 360-degree Lidar camera equipment used by Google for its autonomous cars. Is General Motors working with Google on autonomous car technology? We don't know, but you can definitely consider us intrigued.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
