Before I begin, I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a seven day auction, I reserve the right to end early.

You are bidding on a 1960 Buick Electra Convertible, iconic flagship of the Buick line. The classic lines and design of the 1960 certainly drives home the meaning of the phrase "They don't make them like they used to". Recently purchased from the 3rd owner of almost 20 years. 97,000 original miles. Original documentation and finished in the perfect convertible color of red and white. Description as follows

Mechanical:
-401 V8 / "445 Wildcat" (445 tq)
-Dual exhaust
-Automatic
-Power steering and brakes
-New wide white radials with polished factory caps
-Nicely detailed engine compartment

Interior:
-Factory bucket seat interior
-Nice two tone color combo
-Rare center console option
-Power driver's seat
-Clean dash and gauges, unique "Mirror-Matic" speedometer
-Nicely finished trunk with spare
-Trim code 849 maroon
-Aftermarket AM/FM Kenwood CD player
-Power windows

Exterior:
-Repainted to its original paint code LL1 Titian Red
-Nice white convertible top with matching parade boot
-Recently rechromed front and rear bumpers
-Well maintained older repaint, shows and shines well. Few minor nicks and chips

Couple things to add: Original lower chrome trim was removed during repaint and prior owner preferred the look without them (and I tend to agree) However, I do have the lower trim that will go with the car should the buyer choose to reinstall. Power top electric motor is tired out. Could be replaced, but works really well manually.

Please take the time to review all the pics and don't hesitate to call for further questions: 517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed MI dealer.

Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades

Sun, 21 Apr 2013

Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
