I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 1996. I PURCHASED IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNERS NEPHEW. HE OWNED IT FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS. I COULD TELL IT WAS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF WHEN I BOUGHT IT BACK THEN. IT HAD NO RUST. THE ORIGINAL PAINT ONLY HAD SOME MINOR  DULL AREAS. PLUS THE CAR DROVE BEAUTIFULLY ON THE 75 MILE HIGHWAY RIDE BACK TO MY HOUSE. DURING THE NEARLY 17 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE CAR. IT'S BEEN A GARAGE QUEEN. IT HAS NOT SEEN RAIN, NOT TO MENTION SNOW SINCE I'VE OWNED IT. I ONLY DROVE IT TO LOCAL CRUISE NIGHTS AND SOME SUMMER WEEKEND GETAWAYS. 
IN 2002 I DECIDED TO REPAINT IT. THE ORIGINAL PAINT WAS GETTING THIN & HAD SOME SMALL AREAS IT WAS CRACKING. AT THAT TIME I WAS A BODY SHOP MANAGER FOR NEW CAR DEALER. SO I HAD MY BEST BODY TECH REMOVE EVERYTHING. I THEN SENT THE CAR OUT TO BE MEDIA BLASTED. WHEN THE CAR CAME BACK. I COULD SEE THAT IT HAD NEVER BEEN HIT OR HAD ANY BODY REPAIRS. I THEN HAD THE TECH MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW BEFORE PAINT. I PICKED A COLOR THAT I THOUGHT WOULD LOOK AMAZING ON THE CAR. AND I MUST SAY IT DOES! IT WAS PAINTED, WET SANDED, BUFFED & PUT BACK TOGETHER. I'VE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT THE 10 PLUS YEARS SINCE!!

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.

Buick might be getting a logo makeover

Fri, 23 Nov 2012

General Motors has finished off an extensive model overhaul for its Buick division, but along with its updated cars, the brand might also be getting a new logo. According to the Detroit Free Press, GM North America President Mark Reuss indicated that the Buick tri-shield logo could be getting a makeover, but offered no further information.
It is unlikely Buick will completely redesign or replace its current logo, but the article seems to indicate that it might return to color; although all chrome now, the logo used to feature red, white and blue shields. Head on over to the Detroit Free Press article to look at some past Buick logos including one from 1904.
