Extremely rare 1979 Buick Riviera S-Type Turbo Model. This is an all-original car with only 49K miles! Only a couple thousand of these were made with BOTH the rare S-Type package AND the factory V-6 Turbo engine - even fewer with this GREAT color combination of white with red sport interior and factory red pinstripes!
As an "S-Type", the exterior has black accents on the rocker trim, window trim and grill, along with special "S-Type" badging. The S-type interior has a special center console (opens for your 8-tracks), black accents on the dash, sport steering wheel, and special bucket seats. This particular car is finished with the eye-catching red interior. As a car equipped with the factory V-6 turbocharged engine, the exterior has special "turbocharged" badging.
This car is equipped with power windows, power door locks, cruise control, AM/FM 8-track stereo with power ant. (all components working!), factory wire wheels, and air conditioning (blows COLD).
The car was a one-owner car until last year and had regular service. Many recent new parts, including brand new radiator, new shocks, new wheel bearings/brakes, new engine mounts, and newer tires. Runs and drives great.
The body is in fantastic shape - all original paint (except driver door was resprayed at one point and could stand to be redone for show, rear fillers were replaced/painted, and various areas have touch up paint from over the years), no dents/rust (except some minor surface spots on the same part of the driver door that was resprayed down above the rocker panel), original chrome (with some hazing). The interior is in BEAUTIFUL condition with only minor wear on the front seats (as shown), some fading on the back of the front seats (the plastic part that can easily be redyed), and headliner was reglued on one side in past (the black spot on the front carpet in one of the pics is just a piece of dirt I should have picked up - not a hole/spot in the carpet).
Please ask all questions before bidding. All shipping arrangements are buyer's responsibility, although I am happy to make the car available for any transporter after full payment is received. The car is sold as is/where is with no warranties express or implied so please feel free to ask any questions/come drive it. This is NOT a 100 point perfect museum piece and is not being held out as such but is a super rare, original collector car in beautiful shape that is over 30 years old so not perfect. Thanks!!

2013 Opel Cascada
Tue, 24 Sep 2013The Future Buick Verano Convertible?
I wasn't wearing a pedometer while in Germany covering the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, but it's safe to say I walked more than a few miles between press conferences, shooting cars and trekking back to the media center on the first day alone. For this reason, it didn't take much convincing from General Motors for me to duck out of the Messe a day early and drive some of its latest Opel models. No, this didn't include the all-new Country Tourer, but I was able to drive the Opel Mokka (our Buick Encore), the Opel Adam and the Opel Cascada.
I focused most of my driving time behind the wheel of the Cascada, which went on sale in Europe earlier this year, since rumors are swirling that a Buick version of this convertible "could happen soon." Buick hasn't had a convertible since the Reatta, and GM has been lacking a non-performance, budget-minded convertible since the Pontiac brand - and its G6 - was dropped, so adding the Cascada to Buick showrooms could further help the reemerging brand compete in the near-luxury segment. Although the weather was too chilly (and occasionally rainy) to enjoy the Cascada with its top down for very long, I was able to clock a fair bit of drive time behind the wheel on roads ranging from the autobahn to tight roads in small, quaint villages.
Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break
Sat, Jun 19 2021General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.  Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM
