1987 Buick Regal with 'T' package (Option code Y56), Exterior Sport Package (W02), and rare T-Tops with V8 307 Engine
I had this beautiful 87 listed last week and found out that there was an odometer error. I had bought this car last year and was told that it had 75K miles but when I checked the free car history on Ebay last week, I was astonished that the car has an extra 100K miles. To be honest, you would never know this car has mileage above 100K; it truely rides and handles like a low mileage car. My Virginia title states 75K. Has current Virginia inspection and is currently registered.
What I found out from the previous owner is the following new items for restoration in early 2009 (only 8K miles ago):
* New professional paint with two stage clear coat painted at a Chevrolet dealer
* New Weatherstripping
* New Converter
* New Front Brakes
* New Shocks
* New Radiator
* New Belts
* New Carpet
* New Headliner
* Rebuilt Transmission with Shift kit
* New turn signal lever
* New Shift Cable
* New Hood Release cable
New items in 2010 totalling $1,644 w/reciept:
* New Water pump
* New Thermostate and seal
* Upper and lower hoses
* New By pass and heater hoses
* New Master switch
New items in 2012 totalling $354 w/receipt:
* Evacuate and recharge AC system for R134 freon
* New Transmission Mount
* Replace new rear brake line
Why am I selling this beauty? I just got laid off and I need to sell it to pay bills... ;-(

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.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
