1955 Buick Special Base 4dr 4.3l Runs, Drives,stops,needs Work, Read Description on 2040-cars
La Porte, Indiana, United States
We have for sale a 1955 buick special 4 door. I do not know a whole lot about the car. I bought the car at a local auction on a whim and it is a little more then I want to take on right now. The car does run, drive, and stop. The engine sounds pretty good but you have to idle the car at about half choke otherwise it will die out.Probably a good carb cleaning or a carb rebuild may take care of that issue. The starter switch in the car is in the gas pedal, you have to put the gas pedal to the floor in order to engage the starter, it works when it wants to. The last couple of times we had to jump the starter in order to get the car to start. I would have to think this would not be to hard to fix. The car drives down the road fairly good. The transmission shift real nice. The interior in the car was disassembled when I bought it but most of it seems to be there. The gauges are still in the car but the speedometer cable seems to be broke and is pretty loud going down the road. The seats are rough and need to be redone or replaced. The car does have some rust the worst of which is when you open the back passenger side door it is rusted trough on the floor board. The front and back glass are in good shape but all the side windows are broken. The engine is a v-8 and the transmission is an automatic with reverse all the way down. The engine and transmission seems to be original. Anything else that I tell you would be "hear say", this is want I know about the car. I you have any specific questions about the car feel free to ask. Please tell me where to find the information because I am not real fimiliar with these old cars.If you want any specific pictures please let me know and I will post them to the ad. If you I have taken the best pictures that I can and I will try to get some more on as soon as the rain quits.

2014 Buick LaCrosse steps up to the big leagues with plenty of luxury
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Following the introduction of the updated 2014 Buick LaCrosse and Regal, the oldest vehicle in Buick's lineup will be the Verano, which was just introduced last year. Having such a fresh product mix bodes well for Buick as it tries to create a new image in the US, and after checking out the amount of luxury being stuffed into the new LaCrosse for 2014, GM's awkwardly positioned brand may finally have the ability to stand out.
Granted, the model unveiled was the all-new, top-of-the-line Ultra Luxury Interior Package, but this package brings top-notch leather and soft suede covering everything above the beltline as well as real ash wood accent trim throughout the cabin. While there was no mention of price, we don't expect this model to come cheap in terms of what we expect from Buick, although it will likely be competitively priced with similarly equipped rivals like the Acura TL or Lexus ES. Adding even more to the LaCrosse's interior, dual eight-inch displays make up the gauge cluster and center stack, and the number of buttons on the center stack have been greatly reduced, creating a cleaner look for the instrument panel.
Another big change is the next-generation of Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system that brings with it all of the recent enhancements of the Cadillac CUE and Chevrolet MyLink systems. Differentiating itself from other GM infotainment systems, the new Buick IntelliLink stands out by allowing users to customize the apps they can add and not just being limited to what GM sees fit.
Next Buick Regal coming in 2017, could be imported from Germany
Sun, 03 Aug 2014The Buick Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, a pair of sedans from General Motors' European and British outfits. In fact, over 46,000 Regals from model years 2010 and 2011 were screwed together on the same lines as the Insignia twins, before GM's Oshawa, Ontario factory took over production fully. Considering this closeness, rumors that claim the next-generation Regal - due for 2017 - could move back to Europe aren't terribly surprising. Here's why, according to Automotive News.
Oshawa is home to three other vehicles, aside from the Regal - the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala rental queen and the Cadillac XTS. We already know next-gen Camaro production is headed to Lansing, MI, and that the fleet-only Impala will (finally!) die in 2016. As for the XTS, as AN explains it, sales are so slow that GM will either kill it or just shuffle its production volume elsewhere.
Taken along with the fact that Unifor, the Canadian labor union repping workers at the Oshawa factory, claim GM hasn't made any guarantees about future production at the nearly 60-year-old factory, it seems fairly clear that the Regal's current factory is going to be put out to pasture.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
