1960 Buick LeSabre 3 Seat Wagon
Original paint in Artic white with Titan Red Poly roof
This wagon was a barn find in dry Idaho about 5 years ago. It was found with 1974 Idaho License plates and a WSU parking sticker on the back glass. Seems it was used as the family wagon for 10 years, then it was used for a college car only to be parked when it was 14 years old. Much has been done to make this car a safe and reliable driver. I have owned it for 3 years and have decided to sell it to focus on prewar Buicks. The car is so straight and the stainless is very nice. The bumper show very wheel, great dash and steering wheel. This is a very rate car with only a few listed in the Buick Club. It was sold with the two tone paint, power steering, power brakes, automatic trans, radio, tinted windshield and auto headlight dimmer (that works!) The cars starts and drives great, gauges and radio work well. I thought it would make a neat period fire marshals car with the colors. This car drives and stops straight, I towed a matching finned 15 foot boat to a few car shows and it was a big hit. The nailhead engine pulls very strong and idles smooth.There was over $5k spent to make this solid car a great driver.

This car is from the dry desert part of Idaho and it shows. All the glass is good and weather strips are soft with no cracking. The only rust found after a inspection on the hoist was in the floor of the 3rd seat area and a small pin hole in the left quarter panel. No bondo or filler found on this car. When the car was removed form the barn rodents had made many nests inside. The head liner, seats and carpet were trashed. All were removed and thrown out. The floor was wire brushed and POR 15 painted, it is very solid. A different front seat from another Buick was put in and the rear lower seat has foam and towels on it. The car needs carpets, headliner and seats recovered. The door panels are very serviceable. After that I wouldn't do anything to the body, as they are only original once. Oh it was found with a bullet hole in the right front door, easy fix but adds to the history so I left it. The only part that was found missing is the lower part of the 3rd seat. This car still has the original issued factory key with the coded tag still in place, in the selling dealers leather key fob. And the matching dealer frame from Howard Moose motors in Moscow ID.
I have sold several classic cars on e-bay from my collection and for friends, all buyers have been happy.
I have the car listed other places and reserve the right to end auction early. Road tests, inspections and phone calls are encouraged. Steve Fisher 206-755-3420

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.
Opel readying Adam model with SUV cues
Fri, 11 Oct 2013The Opel Adam, the microcar of General Motors' European subsidiary, has seen its sales cool significantly since it first hit the market in the United Kingdom and Europe, but a push is reportedly under way that just might be enough to get the stylish, little car moving again.
Using the Opel Adam Rocks Concept as a template, Opel will ruggedize the Adam, so that it might compete with the growing herd of city cars that sport SUV styling, like the Volkswagen Cross Up and Fiat Panda 4x4, according to a report from Automotive News Europe. Sporting a bumped-up ride height and tougher body work, it's a dedicated soft-roader, but will freshen the Adam's lineup and, hopefully, broaden its customer appeal.
The Adam Rocks, according to IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher, should also make some more coin for GM's struggling European arm. "Automakers are happy to meet demand for SUV and crossovers as the customer pays a premium," Fletcher told ANE. And although the Rocks might have been planned from the start as a production vehicle, the timing, with the Adam's sales slowdown, doesn't seem like a coincidence.
Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
