1953 Buick Special Straight 8 Great Condition Runs And Drives Perfect on 2040-cars
Allen Park, Michigan, United States
|
Up for sale is my personal 1953 Buick I have owned for 3 years. It came from Texas and has never been driven in rain since I have owned it. I put new springs on it all the way around and got the shocks rebuilt. I also got the radiator rebuilt. It runs and drives perfect and starts up easily every time. Its currently stored in my garage for the winter but if you are local you are more than welcome to take a look at it and hear it run. I got one more little one on the way so its time for me to let this beautiful piece of american history go. I can't even count how many compliments and smiles I get when I'm driving it around. You will not be disappointed owning this classic Buick.
On Feb-11-14 at 16:00:08 PST, seller added the following information: Its actually got 51,200 miles not 61,000. Also if its worth anything my insurance company sent out a guy to appraise it and they valued it at $17,500.00 |

Buick GN and GNX will return
Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European 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.
eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?
