It is finished in Autumn Maple Firemist Metallic and sports a matching padded halo vinyl top and gold accent stripes on the body. The paint is in amazing condition and is deep and lustrous. The styled Buick wheels give this car an iconic look. The interior of the car is trimmed in a complimentary shade of oxblood. The leather seats are as soft and supple as you’d expect and are amazingly comfortable. With the exception of the 8-track player, all the accessories on-board work as they should. The Electronic Touch Climate Controls are fully functional and the AC blows nice and cold! The Concert Sound System sounds amazing! Slipping behind the wheel of this Electra Park Avenue is a treat – it looks and feels like a brand-new car!
The paint is spectacular! The deep finish is 100% original with the exception of the plastic bumper filler panels. As is common with 80’s GM cars, they needed to be updated due to age. I replaced the filler panels after having the paint professionally color-matched.
The extensive brightwork, chrome and stainless trim are in fabulous shape with no pitting or scratching. Just like the day the car rolled off the showroom floor. Glass on the car is the factory “Safety Flo-Lite” all around. One of my favorite things is the sticker in the right rear side window that advertises Buick as a sponsor of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles! Badges and emblems are perfect. Lenses and surrounding trim are as new and even the distinctive electroluminescent coach lamps on each b-pillar work perfectly. The chrome finish on the wheels are not perfect but they present well.
The engine compartment is the tidiest you’ll find given how little the car has been used. It has been preserved to day-one standards. The tell-tale part of most any car is the undercarriage. This car’s is in amazing condition looking like the car did back in 1983.
The interior of the car is a luxury lounge. The leather is amazing with no wear or damage. The carpeting is incredibly soft and shows no signs of wear or soiling. Matching carpeted floor mats are included. The wood-like trim on the doors and dash is flawless – including the narrow strip on the face of the steering wheel. The velour trim on the door panels is perfect. The aroma inside is exactly what a 1983 Buick should smell like – in 1983! It is the real “new car smell”! The ashtray and cigar lighters have never been used. I replaced the headliner with an exact match since the old one began to sag due to age – another common problem with 80’s GM cars. Both the driver and front passenger have power seats. The marketing materials for the car say 6-way power but I count 8-way adjustability on both sides and the front passenger seat has the optional power recliner option. And the electroluminescent “Park Avenue” accent lighting on the dash works as it should!
Inside the glove box is the optional electric trunk release. Once open, you’ll see a flawless luggage compartment. It is cavernous and it’s hard to believe that the trunk has ever been used at all.

First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.
