BUICK

2011 Buick Regal GS

 

At the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, Buick unveiled the Regal GS Concept - a US version for the European Insignia OPC.

The production version will resemble the concept version and will most likely will feature the same 255HP, turbocharged 2-liter engine.

 

2009 Buick Business Concept

 

China is the most important market to Buick. It not only sells more cars in the Orient than here, but the unloved by the U.S. Terraza minivan was also a real hit over there. So at this year’s Shanghai Auto Show it revealed a special car with Chinese influence called the Buick Business Concept.

2007 Buick Enclave UpTown

 

“Uptown.” The phrase conjures images of sophisticated luxury – timeless elegance with a flavor for the avant-garde. It is fine furnishings and the latest electronics, cool jazz with an equal dose of hot salsa. It’s the blending of two colors to create a distinctive new shade. That’s the premise behind the Buick Enclave UpTown being introduced at the 2007 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in Las Vegas. It was created by Rick Bottom Designs of Mendota, Ill. 


2008 Buick Enclave Black Platinum Edition

 

Platinum’s rarity has long made it the metal of choice for nobility and the affluent – more so than gold. Black, meanwhile, has traditionally been associated with refinement … a confident elegance, demonstrated by the black tuxedo, black dress or color-of-choice for luxury vehicles. Black and platinum merge seamlessly in the Buick Enclave Black Platinum Edition. Created by Mitek Corporation of Phoenix, Ariz., Buick Enclave Black Platinum Edition is being introduced at the 2007 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in Las Vegas

The Enclave was unveiled at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, one of the world’s most prestigious art and design schools.

 

1988 - 1991 Buick Reatta

 

When Buick’s former chief engineer, Lloyd Reuss, became general manager of Buick in 1980, he wanted to add a two-passenger Buick to the line-up to enhance Buick’s image and act as a showroom traffic generator. It was also hoped it would lower the average age of Buick buyers. 


2007 Buick Lucerne MTX Audio

 

Buick Lucerne goes from stock to rock in the MTX Audio Buick Lucerne by Mitek Corp. of Phoenix.

1964 Vintage Buick Electra 225

 

A powerful GM Performance Parts ZZ572 crate engine is the 620-horsepower heart of a beautifully restored 1964 Electra 225 – one of the famed Buick “Deuce-and-a-Quarter” full-size luxury vehicles that have achieved popularity with collectors and urban customizers. The ZZ572/620-powered Electra 225 was displayed among 11 new Buick Lucerne concepts at a special event held during the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) convention.

The engine, coupled with the Hydra-Matic 4T65 electronically controlled automatic overdrive transaxle, generates 240 horsepower (179 kW) and 240 lb.-ft. (325 Nm) of torque.

Buick’s premium midsize sedan also includes a tire-pressure monitoring system standard on all trim levels for greater convenience and peace of mind 


1938 Buick Y-Job

 

The 1938 Buick Y-Job is generally considered the industry’s first concept car. Created by General Motors Styling and Buick Engineering, it was designed by Harley J. Earl, GM’s first design chief, and built on a production Buick chassis modified by Charlie Chayne, then Buick’s chief engineer. Power was supplied by a Buick 320 cubic inch straight 8.
