Nicest One Left? 1979 Buick Regal Coupe 3.8 V6

Coming in a foot shorter than the previous generation Buick Regal, this svelt, slim, trim, and crisp 1979 Buick Regal Coupe looks like a gem in Dark Blue. The floppy trailing end of the driver’s door trim is the… more»

Put An LS In It? 1969 Buick Gran Sport

Here’s an interesting one. It’s a 1969 Buick GS 350 – sans the 350. It’s being sold without its prime mover so the next owner can trip the light fantastic when it comes to repowering this steed. I have… more»

Cheap Classic: 1967 Buick Skylark Project

The Buick Skylark began life as a luxury convertible in 1953 and 1954. In the early 1960s, it was the upscale version of the Special, a compact. By the middle of that decade, it had morphed into a mid-size… more»

Trade Up or Down: 1965 Buick Riviera

Choosing a favorite classic from some decades is easy, but others pose a challenge. For me, the 1960s fall into that category. I find myself irresistibly drawn to First Generation Pony Cars, while a ’64 Ford Galaxie 500XL would… more»

Turbocharged Survivor: 1987 Buick Regal Grand National

If I were to pick a classic from the 1980s to park in my garage, a 1987 Buick Grand National would sit at the top of the list. The “square-rigger” styling doesn’t appeal to everyone, but when you combine… more»

10k Original Miles? 1949 Buick Roadmaster Convertible

We are no strangers to low-mile classics at Barn Finds, but some seem almost too good to be true. Take this 1949 Buick Roadmaster Convertible as a perfect example. It presents beautifully, and the seller states that its odometer… more»

All Original? 1967 Buick Riviera

Imagine working in the Buick design department and being tasked with following up the first-generation Riviera. In the face of that nearly impossible task, Buick unveiled what Car Life magazine called “far and away the most handsome car of the… more»

71k-Mile 1986 Buick LeSabre Estate Wagon

The 1986 model year brought some big changes at Buick, with a downsized Riviera and a new front-wheel-drive LeSabre; therefore, the carryover Estate Wagons must have been a comforting sight for those of a more traditional bent. A few… more»

One of a Kind? 1959 Buick El Victamino Project

To the best of my knowledge, Buick has never produced a pickup truck. At least not in the 1959 model year when the new mid-range Invicta model was introduced. The seller has a ’59 “El Victamino” for sale which… more»

Matching Numbers? 1970 Buick GS 455

I have often opined on the success and popularity of GM’s A-body cars from ’68 to ’72.  While the current marketplace prices for the performance versions (SS396, GTO, 442, and GS) are stratospheric, even the bread-and-butter models (Malibu, LeMans,… more»

Solid Survivor: 1965 Buick Electra 225 Sport Coupe

A mere five years after tumbling to ninth place in industry-wide sales, Buick rebounded to fifth for 1965 on the strength of an attractive lineup that included three flagship nameplates: the Riviera, Wildcat, and Electra 225. For those who… more»

What Would You Do?: 1950 Buick Super Riviera

Years before the Riviera became the personal-luxury coupe we know and love, it was a title denoting a body style, the “hardtop convertible” as it was sometimes called. The Riviera hardtop was introduced in 1949 as a Roadmaster and… more»

Subtle Sleeper: LS-Swapped 1976 Buick Century

Even if this 1976 Buick Century still had the V6 under the hood it was born with, just the beautiful outside appearance would be enough to make it an attention-getter.  Some great news is this one’s not just a… more»

Good Deal? $5k 1990 Buick Reatta

Buick almost created a legendary car in the Reatta, with talk of the production car having rear-wheel drive and a supercharged V6 engine. As it is, it’s hard to argue with the wow factor of the design and quality,… more»

Accepting Offers: 1965 Buick Special Sedan

There’s hardly a car I don’t like, but if I had to give myself a label, I’d call myself a Buick guy. I don’t know what it is about the Tri-Shield, but they built handsome, conservative cars, yet they… more»

Reasonably Priced 1992 Buick Roadmaster Wagon

By the time you read this, the auction for this Buick Roadmaster wagon will be over – but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t warrant discussion. And that’s because these B-platform behemoths were white-hot not so long ago, and it… more»
