When the wind howls off the lakefront in Chicago today, it will turn the page on what General Motors hopes is a new chapter for Buick.
Buick was once the preferred car of celebrities from Cary Grant to Lucille Ball, but it's been stuck in the doldrums for decades.
That could begin to change when the wraps come off the new Buick LaCrosse midsize sedan at the Chicago auto show this morning. Dodge, Mercury, Toyota and Nissan will also introduce new vehicles at the show today.
With its flowing lines, tasteful chrome and the distinctive oval Buick grille, the LaCrosse will replace two high-volume, low-pizzazz cars when it goes on sale in October.
As Buick attempts its restrained renaissance, a few feet away Dodge will raise the ante in extroverted pickup styling with the 2005 Dakota, a midsize pickup that's in a class by itself in size, power and boisterous wake-the-neighbors looks.
