SELLER REMARKS

This 1962 Buick Electra 225 hardtop is how you always hope to find the best survivors. Very nicely maintained with a keen appreciation for keeping everything as original as possible, it's still a wonderful car to drive and shows extremely well inside and out. If you dig preservation-class competition, this car is a great candidate.



Still wearing factory-applied Arctic White paint, this big hardtop has the kind of presence normally reserved for the really heavy hitters. Of course, being based on the same platform as the big Cadillacs of the time certainly contributes to that impression, and no matter how you look at it, the "deuce and a quarter" is a big car. However, the expert styling gives it great proportions and for 1962, it actually shrank a bit, and the result was the best-performing luxury car on the market. The flanks are straight and clean, the doors fit beautifully, and it's obviously been a long, long time since it was a daily driver. The paint shines up well and has that soft patina that only time can bestow on a car, and since much of the trim is stainless, it was easy to maintain. The other components, including the bumpers and intricate taillight housings, also remain in above-average condition. And even in 1962, four portholes on the fender meant top-of-the-line.



The handsome, conservative interior is exactly what you'd expect from this heavy cruiser, a wonderfully detailed environment that smells of quality. The front seat cloth upholstery has been replaced with an exact match (a spare roll of the fabric is included with the car), the only thing separating it from the original stuff in the back seat is time. Otherwise, the door panels, carpets, headliner, and dash pad are all original and amazingly well-preserved. The instrument panel is wonderfully dressed in bright metal trim as was the fashion at the time, yet the controls will feel instantly familiar to anyone driving it today. Factory A/C is an important option and it's fully functional with a fresh shot of R12 inside, and even the Sonomatic AM radio still works, including the optional rear speaker. In back, the trunk is outfitted with original carpets and a full-sized spare with jack assembly.



Buick's 401 cubic inch "Nailhead" V8 was legendary in its torque production and moves the big coupe with effortless ease. The '445' on the air cleaner is a reference to the torque rating, making this full-sized car fee much smaller when you stomp the pedal. The engine runs superbly, with a crisp V8 burble from the single exhaust pipe, and looks quite good with original Buick Turquoise paint still covering the engine itself. Maintenance items like the battery, belts, hoses, and some wiring have been replaced, and in the past three years, it received a fresh brake job (including lines, cylinders, booster), rebuilt front suspension, rebuilt A/C system, and new motor and transmission mounts. As a result, it drives like nothing you've ever driven before with a creamy smooth ride to which nothing today can compare. The Twin Turbine automatic transmission is seamless in operation, and you'll be shocked by how clean it is underneath. Original, but very impressive overall. Newer 8.15-15 whitewalls have been fitted for a correct look, complete with factory hubcaps in the center.



Impressive for a lot of reasons, this big Buick is an incredible survivor that's still highly usable. Call today!

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

38k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk

Mon, 06 May 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
According to the automaker, a malfunctioning generator control module could slowly drain the battery, causing an indicator to light up in the dash. If that indicator is ignored, the driver may experience a stalling engine, and in some cases, "a burning or melting odor, smoke, and, in rare instances, a fire in the trunk."
GM says the issue is not with the eAssist battery pack; the smoke and fire comes from overheating of the control board. One trunk fire has been reported, but no injuries are known. Scroll down below for the official press release from GM.

Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
