Very dpendable, starts everytime, trans. shifts smooth & direct with strong clutch. this is southern ca. car, no rust even the batt. tray is solid. Has an older repaint from the 80's with a deep shine, shows signs of checking on sides but hood&trunk are fine a 10 footer is the term. All chrome & stainless is very nice & original, pot metal is nice for being 50+ years old, original hub caps in nice cond., all glass is clear & spot free. the convertible top was redone a few years ago and looks new, good fitting, no cuts or tears. the power top operates easily with a switch on the dash. the trunk is also factory original, never resprayed to hide anything, very solid and rust free, original jack & spare included. this Skylark still has bias ply tires from 1966 according to the manufacturer's date on tires, these can't be the originals, the odometer reads 03000, I'm sure it's turned over 100K , don"t know why the old tires unless another set of wheels were used then switched back? the interior is very nice, redone a few years ago to original pattern with correct buttons, bottom of drivers seat and left armrest just redone, it's all clean & bright no fading or cracks in the original dash pad, also has original clock on dash, sometimes mistaken for a tach. electrically everything works, turn signals,brake lights, running lights, a/m radio, with the exception of the clock. Maintenence done recently; valve covers removed cleaned and painted installed with new gaskets, over $500 spent on brake hydraulicsincluding new whl. cylinders, master cyl.& front h. completely rebuilt rochester 4 brl carb [$175], new plugs, wires, points, cap, and rotor. along with new fuel filter & lines and air filter. the original choke still works correctly. two pumps on the pedal and it fires right up! I've been collecting Buicks for over 35 years and had very rare ones but this car is one of the few ever produced with a factory 4 spd., when was the last time you saw one? This Skylark gets the thumbs up every time I take it out, it's a turn key fun family car for local shows & cruises, not a 100 point show car, just a nice driver you can enjoy and be proud to own, with new paint it could be a throphy winner, it gets 25 mpg highway. all inquirys are to be made to Chuck at 541 659 8697, no emails or texts, thanks for looking.

Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China
Mon, 03 Mar 2014General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.
2013 Buick Encore
Mon, 10 Dec 2012City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
