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.

Bob Seger's Detroit Made music video is an homage to the Motor City
Tue, 16 Sep 2014At this point, Bob Seger feels like the living embodiment of old-school rock 'n' roll. The Michigan native has been strumming out classic records like Night Moves for decades, and he just released a new single called Detroit Made. It sounds like a future staple of just about every classic car show within the next few years, and the video is dedicated to the Motor City, past and future.
Detroit Made is all about cruising in the city in a classic Buick Electra 225, perhaps better known as a "deuce and a quarter." It's straight-down-the-middle rock and could just as easily be from a decades-old Seger album as something new.
The video for the new single mixes shots of American classics cruising along Woodward Avenue with a contemporary look at the city. Sure, there are the well-known dilapidated buildings falling into rubble, but the people there aren't just letting the city die. Other parts show the attempts to clean things up and rebuild. Check out the video if you need a few minutes of old school rockin' in your life.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Opel to be shuttered in China, but will restart Buick production in Germany
Fri, 28 Mar 2014Opel, General Motors' troubled German brand continues its quest to reinvent itself and find solid profitability. In the course of that metamorphosis, the company has a bit of good news/bad news today. The good news is, it will once again begin screwing together Buick models for the American market. The bad news, though, is that it's being shut down in yet another country, China.
Let's start with the good news. The last vehicle Opel's Ruesselsheim factory built for the North American market was the early run of the then-new Regal, which is based heavily on the Opel Insignia. Production ran for just over two years, from 2009 to 2011, before moving production to Oshawa, Ontario.
Now, thanks to a 245-million-euro investment (just over $336 million), Opel will kick off production of a unspecified model for the US in the "second half of the decade," according to Automotive News. According to Opel, the new model will be announced before the end of 2014. You can begin your speculation about this new model down in Comments (we're wagering it'll be the Cascada convertible, sold here under the Buick umbrella).
