Discriptions
| A combination of old and new, the Blackhawk is an unusual concept as it is not aimed to push forward new styles or ideas but instead to stimulate interest from a league of Buick enthusiasts.
| | To Buick General Manager Roger W. Adams, the Blackhawk creates "a very interesting statement for Buick to make as we approach our centennial. Buicks have always had a strong element of power and distinctive style - and this is a good time to remind folks of that."
| | He said Buick leaders have long promoted the marque's upscale image and such key Buick attributes as comfort, convenience, safety and security. But in the last couple of years there has been new emphasis on more expressive Buicks. One example is the 1999 concept Cielo, a " no-compromise" convertible with roof rails and retractable top. Another is the 2000 concept LaCrosse, described as a "drop-dead gorgeous" flagship sedan, which packages styling cues from Buick's past (such as vertical-bar grille, portholes and side sculpture from the '50s) in a refreshing way. LaCrosse, incidentally, can also reveal a pickup-type rear cargo area on a single voice command. Still another example is Rendezvous, a production Buick SUV for the 2002 model year that Adams says is more versatile than any other vehicle in its class.
| | As an accent complementing the exterior design, a slightly different shade of dark cherry is used to create a "sweepspear" along the sides of the body. The sweepspear is a decoration that first showed up on some '49 Roadmasters and later became a shape sculpted into the sides of '50s Buicks. It's basically a horizontal line that sweeps in a downward curve along the doors toward the base of the leading edge of the rear fender, then kicks up over the rear wheel openings. It's a look that reappeared in the 1999 Cielo and 2000 LaCrosse concepts, both Doble projects.
| | The interior is sourced from a 1996 Buick Riviera â one of the most luxurious Buicks. That includes buff color leather for the door trim and seats, plus design of the instrument panel and center console (though the wood-rimmed steering wheel is unique). The custom car was created in the spring of 2000.
