Great old car I have owned a long time it deserves a better home than I can give it. It was a beautiful car when I got it 16 years later it makes me sad to think of how it used to look
This car has traveled the world quite a bit bought in the us shipped to Germany (I have a German registration) outfitted to run on the autobahn and used as a limousine over there It has passing lights and side marker lights that were installed so it could run on the autobahn the gas filler neck has been modified to take leaded gas and the speedo is in kilometers it says no smoking in German on the dash by the lighter I don't know if any engine or suspension work was done to it but this car will fly I have had it over 200kmh many times I used to make a 314 mile one way trip in 3 hours flat every other weekend with it when I got it It has new tires I don't like them they just don't feel as sure footed as the old ones but they are brand new The leather interior is beautiful and smells amazing the carpet is faded though It needs paint, new top, tailpipe, some rubber trim thing back by the bumper their are a couple of pieces of chrome trim that are loose and the drive shaft has a vibration due to it needing a new CV joint I put a top on this car once and they told me they took care of the rust under the top but it is blistering and bubbling again so that was a lie there are no rust holes in this car but work needs to be done soon |

How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
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.
