1956 Buick Century Convertible on 2040-cars
Vancouver, Washington, United States
|
Super opportunity to finish a rare car where all the hard and dirty work has been done. This convertible has original body sheet metal with replaced floor & trunk metal from a donor 1956 Century - so no rust or patch panels ! It is incredibly straight. The car even has had the seat springs dipped to ensure everything is clean!
Frame is already finished with cad plated bolts, new steering box, new brakes, new shocks, etc. Number match engine and transmission are completely done, 100% fresh with all receipts. All items are rebuilt or replaced with NOS parts. The options include a continental kit included - no missing pieces, NOS exhaust pipes and exhaust tips. Power seats and power windows per Century standard. Convertible top bows are in great shape and complete. All trim is included - nothing is missing. Brackets, bumpers, chrome and stainless is all there, dash board etc. Most all metal parts are either already stripped or polished. Ready for paint, upholstery and reassembly. Many boxes of NOS trim, gaskets, washer jar and other parts are included and come with the car. Bumpers, grill and larger exterior parts DO need chrome. I need someone to finish this so I can restore an recently inherited 1935 family car. Tom - 360-901-9828 - Car and parts are stored inside a dry garage and located 1 hour outside of Portland, Oregon area. Will deliver the car and parts in enclosed trailer. Distance / fuel prices to be reviewed. |

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 mulling more powerful Encore; diesel too
Mon, 21 Oct 2013Looking to set itself apart in the mid-luxury segment, Buick is looking to introduce a diesel engine somewhere in its US lineup. And according to Edmunds, the two best chances of a diesel Buick rest with the Encore and Verano.
In both our First Drive and Review of the 2013 Encore, our chief complaint about the compact crossover was the the lack of power from the 138-horsepower turbo engine. Edmunds says that the recently introduced 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (with both gas and diesel variants) from the Encore's overseas cousin, the Opel Mokka, could make its way into the Encore delivering the much-needed boost in power.
Then there's the Verano. As a close relative to the Chevy Cruze, which just added a diesel engine for 2014, the article speculates that a Verano Diesel might actually be the more "probably candidate" if and when Buick decides to add a diesel model to its portfolio. Either way, offering such an engine in one of its products could be a great way for Buick to differentiate itself from Cadillac and possibly even attract buyers from Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz looking for a luxurious, fuel-efficient vehicle.
Watch this phantom Buick drive itself down the highway in a snow storm
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Years ago, General Motors used Buick cars to test out the idea of a "smart highway" concept. More recently, GM has been talking up its award-winning Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology that will roll out with Cadillac and make its way to Buick. The LeSabre in the video above has nothing to do with any of that.
On Interstate 15 in Utah, a man driving this LeSabre got into an accident that rearranged the front end and set the horn on permanent blare. At the time of writing this, no one is sure what happened next, but the man ended up sitting in the snow in the highway median while his car carried on down the highway without him. Passing traffic stayed well to the right.
The 51-second video below provides a different take on our autonomous future. A local newscast on KUTV covered the story the evening of the incident, but the Utah Highway Patrol didn't have any update on the fate of the LeSabre. We'll take that to mean that Buick's take on Christine could still be out on the prowl... so watch out!
