Buick’s China sales surpass those in USA!

Ironic fact of the day: according to Automotivenews, it is almost certain that Buick will sell more cars at the end of the year in China than in the US! While Buick is getting a beating in its home market from the Asians, selling 206.582 vehicles the first 10 months of 2006 (down 15,4 percent in comparison to the same period in 2005), in China, it managed to sell an impressive 218.603 vehicles, increasing its cut 27.4 percent from 2005! It’s a sick, sad world! Via: Automotivenews

2006 SEMA Show: 1964 Buick Electra 225 Convertible with a 620Hp V8

Now this classic is a little bit more like it. Apart from the fleet of funky granny Lurcenes, Buick's SEMA stand includes a beautifully restored 1964 Electra 225 Convertible fitted with a GM Performance Parts ZZ572 crate V8 engine pumping out an orgasm inducing 620Hp.

Along with the 620Hp V8, the modified Electra 225 features a Hydra-matic Turbo 400 automatic transmission and a custom radiator that's outfitted with twin electric fans. The car rolls on chrome 20" Boss Motorsports "312" 5spoke wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The body and interior retain their factory-stock looks, wearing a new coat of factory white paint and re-chromed trim. The top is white, with a black boot cover. The interior also is black, with the vinyl upholstery re-done to a factory appearance.

2006 SEMA Show: Buick Lucerne


Not one, not two but eleven custom Buick Lucernes are going on show at SEMA tomorrow. From the snazzy CXX Luxury Liner by Rick Bottom Custom Motor to the Low Rider Lucerne by RIDES Magazine, these are surely not your typical granny Buicks. But then again, I'm not sure who in their right mind would pay for a spiffed up a Buick Lucerne... Click on the pics to see which is which
