1975 Buick LeSabre Custom convertible. Brief history; Bought new by my in-laws on April 8, 1975 in Province of Alberta, Canada for the sum of 5,656.00 CD. (bill of sale from the dealer, and bank regarding satisfaction of Chattel Mortgage are included, along with other docs; Owner's Manual, Warranty Card, Accessory pamphlet, Color stub., other) Used sporadically and given to me in 1985. with then mileage of 33+Kmiles. Next, I drove it to LA, California ( a distance of over 1300 miles) where I used rarely till 2006. Next I drove it to Florida where I don't use it at all. Following are modifications performed in California, not necessarily in chronological order; 1. Rear main engine seal replaced. The original was dry and leaked some oil in my garage. 2. New Midas muffler installed 3. New tires fitted 4. All oils and fluids changed including differential. 5 New Holly carb installed. Original Rochester Quadrajet, although fully functional, could not be adjusted to satisfy California emissions control. 6. New top installed as the original black color top turned to the undescript after 5 years under California sun. 7. New Glove Compartment installed. 8. All rubber gaskets for windows, doors, trunk, and windshield were replaced. 9. Large volume electric fan with thermostat was installed for no technical reason. 10. New break pads installed 11. MSD ignition system was installed to help pollution control. Modifications made in Florida; 1. New Wal-Mart Battery installed ( 11/15/2013) 2. Top motor and relay replaced. 3. New break lines, master cylinder and oversized buster installed. On Jan-26-14 at 04:32:50 PST, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention that new rear coils and shocks were also installed while in California, as well new floor carpet. Specific for this vehicle. This car has the original "no radio" dashboard, but I have NOS board with radio cut-out from American made Buick as I planned to add radio, but I couldn't find suitable original 1975 Buick unit for this car.. That dashboard is included with this car for the winner at no extra charge. The new top motor opens the top very fast, but closes it slowly. It looks like it could use adjustment by qualified mechanic. There is a small seam open on the driver's seat that needs to be re-stitched. The car drives excellent, and produces soft and comfortable ride. In my experience it gets 20 MPG on the open road, and approx. 15 in town. It is mostly due to the "Cadillac type" tires that are 12% oversized It is 6 pass car, and it has 6 seat belt sets. 1975 was the first year of NO Lead gas and so it is inscribed in English and French at the fuel cap. Since it became antique car there are no pollution controls required and original the catalytic converted was removed and replaced with a pipe. |

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
Buick Envision CUV launches in China, is America next?
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Buick is launching its new midsize Envision crossover in China at the Chengdu Motor Show, where it will slot between the subcompact Encore and larger Enclave. While it might be hard to muster too much excitement about a Chinese-market crossover, don't completely ignore this one. There's a very good chance it could be on sale in North America to fill the same hole in the brand's lineup over here, possibly as a 2016 model.
We recently spied the Envision completely undisguised as it was arriving at the Chengdu show for its debut. The CUV still looks like a stretched Encore from some front angles, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's got a similar oversized grille, hood vents (presumably faux) and large greenhouse as its little brother. Where the midsize CUV differs is its prominent crease running down the side and the different rear treatment, with wing-shaped trim cutting into the taillights.
The interior looks like a pretty nice place to spend time, too, with a predictable mix of leather, wood and metal, and it should be quiet in there with its active noise cancelation system. Infotainment is provided by an eight-inch touchscreen with a touchpad and voice controls.
New Buick Verano testing in Germany
Thu, 29 May 2014A refresh to Buick's popular Verano sedan appears to be nigh, thanks to these spy photos that show the tweaked four-door testing in Germany.
As with the current Verano, the refreshed model will have a great deal in common with its European platform-mates, the Vauxhall/Opel Astra. Each car rides on General Motors's Delta II platform. Unlike the current car, though, the refreshed model's styling could lean more heavily towards its European roots, if these photos are any indication.
Despite its commonality with the Astra Sedan, the Verano has featured its own unique styling since arriving in the US back in 2011 as a 2012 model, with distinct fascias at both the front and back, as wells its own headlight and taillight designs. The two cars were still rebadged vehicles, but it was more subtle than it will be in 2015, when the refreshed Verano arrives. Astra-like elements are expected to dominate, particularly in regards to the headlights and taillights. That said, trademark Buick styling features will remain, like the waterfall grille. Really, then, the 2016 Verano won't be unlike the Regal - a rebadged Vauxhall/Opel Insignia, aside from a few very small styling details.
