1962 Buick Special Convertible Motor Trend’s 1962 “CAR OF THE YEAR” Fireball
V6 – 3-Speed AT Marlin Blue Metallic Paint & Custom Deep Blue & White Pleated Interior This
Buick Special convertible was a one family car for several generations. It
started life in California before finding a home in WA now in NJ. This is one
of those rare condition survivors… very solid and rust free vehicles, well
taken care of with low miles and loved all of its life. It was purchased several
years ago from the family estate. It has been professionally repainted the 1962 factory deep
Buick Marlin Blue Metallic. The interior has also been redone with
new quality woven carpets &
the professionally reupholstered
interior using much more expensive materials; new padding & extra soft &thick Buick 2-toned Blue & White vinyls. This Buick Special runs and drives very nicely! It has lots of power, handles and drives easily and shifts cleanly through the gears. The engine has an older rebuild, with not many miles on it coupled with a fully redone GM Turbo 350 automatic; 3-speed transmission. This car has an amazing amount of power and snaps through the gears…. The newer 3-speed AT is quite an improvement over the factory 2-speed AT giving this car more power through all speeds, and smooth cruising on the freeway too. Factory option remote control drivers side mirror plus the loud & clear factory AM Radio. New Firestone ZR White Wall Tires. This is an original condition survivor, excellent driver quality car. It is not perfect and not a number one condition show car, but it is a very solid and good running investment quality vehicle. Dash and most interior original with still shiny dash & chrome, some minor pitting but never really cleaned and overall good appearances. It has a replacement black convertible top in overall good shape, but has had several small holes patched and back window needs some stitching in the corner…. with original black boot cover. (my next phase I was planning a new white top, which only run about $225 for these cars)Most chrome is shiny, but there are some normal small dents & wear on the bumpers & front lower panels. The trunk is very solid, and includes the factory spare tire. Under the hood you can see again, very solid, factory shiny paint & original “FIREBALL V-6” air-cleaner. I have the original glass windshield cleaner bottle, which is not in photos but you can see the bracket under hood, and it is included in the sale. I have the full stack of ownership papers and receipts on the car. The odometer shows 27,676 miles.. but there was a period of ownership that odometer did not work. Owners guessed several thousand, summer & annual miles only for each of those years… so estimated actual mileage at maybe 45,000+/- for the car; to be honest the actual mileage is unknown. Just installed a brand new custom exhaust system this year. Only
the Buick Special has a really cool center horn button and no horn ring… horn
works great, AM radio works, most all lights, dash lights and gauges including
gas gauge & speedometer all working fine. New battery, recent tune up with plugs
& wires, all good newer belts & hoses. Looks like car was factory
undercoated, this was an original CA car that had been garaged and is very solid. This a fun and dependable summer
driver that is easy to drive. This was car of the year with real independent
suspension that handles and drives easily. It gets lots of attention and
comments… ”nice car” … cool car” … and thumbs up wherever it goes. Deep &
Shiny Marlin Blue Metallic Buick factory color paint…. A great investment that
you can drive! VIN# A

2014 Buick Regal GS AWD
Thu, 27 Feb 2014"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American 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 2012General 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.
