The Buick Century 60 Series was considered the “Bankers Hot Rod”. It has the original 322 “Nail Head” V8 Road Master engine (255hp) along with the “Dyna Flow” automatic transmission and factory dual exhaust through the rear bumper. It also has power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, wide white’s, full wheel covers, Sonomatic push button radio and the factory deluxe lighting package including the truck, under hood and glove box.

We’ve owned this car for about 6 years and have driven it everywhere. Parades, shows, cruises, poker runs…you name it. It’s solid, reliable and a consistent trophy winner on a local level. Fly in…drive it home. 72700 miles which I believe to be original.

A couple of important points…we bought this car because of the options and originality and the rarity. After searching Buick web sites and blogs, talking to other Buick owners in the know, we’ve found that this car, with these options, color combination and early production make on one of a handful. I haven’t seen another one like it.

The car has new wheel cylinders, drums, stainless brake lines. We rebuilt/replaced front end steering assembly along with power steering hoses and seals. New muffler and tail pipes. Upgraded original radio to AM/FM Bands. New torque converter and a complete transmission rebuild. We put an Edlebrock carb in along with a Pertronix ignition upgrade. We have the original carb that goes with the car along with a plethora of additional OEM and NOS parts that also go. The car runs, shifts and operates without issue. Doesn’t burn or use any oil. Never overheats. Frame and body are solid. The car is always garaged.

A couple of items that will need to be addressed, but are not deal breakers or hamper the car operationally….Speedometer doesn’t work, but the odometer does. The lower left rocker panel has some minor paint bubbling as well as around the rear window some slight surface rust exists near the stainless molding. No holes and no water leaking in. Also the clock and lighter worked, but I think I blew a fuse.

Look at the pictures…email me any questions you have. This is a 58 year old car and there are NO warranties expressed or implied. Shipping is your dime, but I’ll assist you and your transport any way I can.

$1000 due within 24 hours with the balance due in cash or cashier’s check within 5 days of auction close. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to pull the auction early.

GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

General Motors is laying off about 510 workers from two factories beginning in January, and it could be months before the automaker needs some of that latent capacity to come back on line. A combination of poor sales and high dealer inventories are prompting the cutbacks, according to Automotive News.
The largest changes come at GM's Lansing Grand River plant, where the Cadillac ATS and CTS are made. An entire shift of about 350 workers is being laid off, but the automaker hopes to find positions for some of them at other nearby factories. The decision leaves just a single shift building vehicles there. According to Automotive News, the move is partially spurred by Johan de Nysschen's plan to make Cadillac a more exclusive brand.
The lost shift will likely return for production of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro at the plant, according to the report, but GM isn't saying when that will be. A previous announcement from the Canadian Auto Workers union indicated that the Oshawa, Ontario, factory would lose the coupe in late 2015 or early 2016.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

2014 Buick LaCrosse updated with new styling, tech

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

Buick might have one of the smallest lineups among major automakers, but by the time the 2014 model rolls around, it will definitely have one of the freshest. Debuting at the New York Auto Show this week, the 2014 Buick LaCrosse receives numerous styling changes inside and out, and it benefits from many of the same new features found on closely related models like the Cadillac XTS and the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
Exterior changes are relatively minor, but they still help give the car a fresh, new look. The new face of the 2014 LaCrosse fits in with recently new or redesigned Buick models with its oversized waterfall grille, LED-trimmed headlights and the signature hood vents being moved to the side of the hood rather than the top. Similar changes have been made to the rear, like the reshaped LED taillights, the full-width chrome trim and a new fascia design; LaCrosse models equipped with the 3.6-liter V6 will still get the integrated exhaust finishers but they're executed in a more stylish manner than the current model. Finishing off the exterior, new wheel designs are also being introduced, which will include bringing 20-inch wheels to the sedan's option list.
Inside, Buick redesigned almost the entire cabin to create a more luxurious and upscale appearance. The instrument panel is essentially carried over, but pretty much everything else has been redesigned and updated with the biggest change being to the driver's area. Dual eight-inch configurable displays make up the center stack and gauge cluster, while the overall number of buttons have been reduced from 17 down to just seven. The 2014 LaCrosse will also be offered with the next-generation IntelliLink, which receives many of the same enhancements as Chevy's latest version of MyLink adding better customization, improved voice commands and more features including Pandora. Additionally, new door panels, seat and center console complete the LaCrosse's interior redesign.
