finances in order. I’m not a dealer or a
bank. Bidders with less than 10
feedback, email me first. This is one
of my father’s cars and he’s got his eyes on another so this one’s got to go. For Sale a 1956
Buick Century Riviera. It’s a 4 door
hard top Series 60. VIN 6C3005072 6=60 Series

manufacture in the fall of 1955. Trim
633=Black Nylon and Black and Red Cordaveen interior Paint
BMB=Castle Grey/Seminole Red/Castle Grey ACC – F S Safety Group and 6 way power seat adjuster Style
56-4639 = Century Riviera Sedan Hardtop Model 56-63
= Century Series 4 door Riviera Hardtop 60 Series. The Buick
Century 60 Series was considered the “Bankers Hot Rod”. It has the original 322 “Nail Head” V8 Road
Master engine (255hp) along with the “Dyna Flow” automatic transmission and
factory dual exhaust through the rear bumper.
It also has power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, wide
white’s, full wheel covers, Sonomatic push button radio and the factory deluxe
lighting package including the truck, under hood and glove box. We’ve owned
this car for about 6 years and have driven it everywhere. Parades, shows, cruises, poker runs…you name
it. It’s solid, reliable and a
consistent trophy winner on a local level.
Fly in…drive it home. 72700 miles
which I believe to be original. A couple of
important points…we bought this car because of the options and originality and
the rarity. After searching Buick web
sites and blogs, talking to other Buick owners in the know, we’ve found that
this car, with these options, color combination and early production make on
one of a handful. I haven’t seen another
one like it. The car has
new wheel cylinders, drums, stainless brake lines. We rebuilt/replaced front end steering
assembly along with power steering hoses and seals. New muffler and tail pipes. Upgraded original radio to AM/FM Bands. New torque converter and a complete
transmission rebuild. We put an
Edlebrock carb in along with a Pertronix ignition upgrade. We have the original carb that goes with the
car along with a plethora of additional OEM and NOS parts that also go. The car runs, shifts and operates without
issue. Doesn’t burn or use any oil.
Never overheats. Frame and body are solid. The car is always garaged. A couple of
items that will need to be addressed, but are not deal breakers or hamper the
car operationally….Speedometer doesn’t work, but the odometer does. The lower left rocker panel has some minor
paint bubbling as well as around the rear window some slight surface rust
exists near the stainless molding. No
holes and no water leaking in. Also the clock and lighter worked, but I think I
blew a fuse. Look at the
pictures…email me any questions you have.
This is a 58 year old car and there are NO warranties expressed or
implied. Shipping is your dime, but I’ll
assist you and your transport any way I can. $1000 due
within 24 hours with the balance due in cash or cashier’s check within 5 days
of auction close. The car is for sale
locally so I reserve the right to pull the auction early.

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 Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China
Mon, Nov 7 2016Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.
