1958 Buick Century "Riviera" Hardtop




Pacific NW car from new

40,000 original miles

Fantastic survivor car




Up for bids here on eBay is this very well preserved Buick Century.  Bought new at Kauffman Buick in Spokane Washington, the car has stayed local since then with just 3 owners.  The car features mostly original paint, an all original interior, and excellent sheet metal top to bottom.  Survivor cars like this become a little harder to find with each passing year. This old Buick not only has a great pedigree, but is road worthy enough to take you any amount of distance without worry.

 Click to enlarge any of the photos below, a link to a slideshow of all the enlarged images is available to view at the bottom of the page.

The car is finished in Glacier White over Spray Green.  It's mostly original paint and is in incredible condition for its age.  That said, be prepared to find some areas with thin paint, small scrapes, touched up chips, etc.   The overall condition is "WOW" but it does show some light patina.  The body is rock solid with no rust issues, no bubbling, no blistering, no problems.   The car has really good panel fit, all doors open and close precisely.  Tires are new Coker Classics with about 30 miles on them.

The car's chrome is all original and still looking really terrific after 55 years.  Very little pitting or flaws anywhere, the brightwork on this car stands tall.  All lights and lenses on the car are in great shape as well.

The distinctive '58 grill is in good original condition.  Interesting to see the front end similarities with other GM models from this year, namely the first-year Impala.

The stainless trim shows a few dings scattered about.

The glass is a strong point on this car, it's all original EZ-Eye Safety Plate with no hard water spotting or scratches.  Windshield has one very small chip off to the side and up high, otherwise it's like new.

The hardtop design really opens up the car when the windows are down.  Fender top gunsights are in great shape.  Not sure why the paint looks blue in this photo, green tones can sometimes fool the camera.  The trunk shows a little age, the mat and side panels are original.  Trunk floor is solid with no water damage, the weatherstripping is original to the car.


Time warp interior with original upholstery and carpet.

Roomy back seat area, excellent headliner.

Door panels and hardware are about as nice as they come.

The dash and padding are in great shape with no damage or splits.  Dash facia shows a little patina in spots, however all of the switchgear looks like new.  There's a couple of things to look into here - the radio and clock aren't working, the wipers have been upgraded to electric but aren't operating for some reason.  Everything else functions well - horn, heater, fan, signals, lights, interior lighting - all working correctly.

The 300HP 364 Nailhead fires to life easily and runs out great.  No smoke, no ticking, this is a good running motor.  Has plenty of power and feels right at home on the freeway.  Power steering and power brakes make around town driving easy.  The Dynaflow operates with the smoothness it is known for.  The car has good braking power, tracks straight, steers well and basically floats down the road with no drama.  Be prepared to see a lot of thumbs up, there's something about this car that attracts a lot of attention.

Instruments show good readings on the road.  The car is optioned with a "Speed-Minder", a buzzer that sounds when you pass a pre-set speed.  I have it set to 85.

The undercarriage is all original with no patching or signs of damage.  While not detailed, its real beauty lies in the fidelity of the sheet metal down here.  From the floor pans to the inner fenders and rocker panels, this Buick is an untouched example of one of GM's finest designs.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

Buick envisioning a refreshed Envision crossover

Tue, Sep 19 2017

Buick's first fully Chinese-built vehicle in the U.S., the Envision crossover, is now getting its very first refresh. Cars grow up so fast, don't they? There's no time to be wistful, though, so we need to take a look at this prototype. It looks like the Envision refresh is going to be very mild and focuses on strengthening the family resemblance between it and other Buicks. The waterfall grille now has a horizontal bar that intersects with the badge, as seen on every new and updated Buick since the latest LaCrosse. And although that badge is covered, we wouldn't be surprised if it changes from the all-silver design to the classic red, white and blue version that was reintroduced on the LaCrosse. The lower grilles have been changed, too. The outboard grilles that house the fog lights look smaller and less pronounced than on the current model, and the center piece appears to be thinner and wider. It also more naturally merges into the plastic air dam. The tail of this Envision, though more heavily camouflaged, also shows some minor updates. The most significant of them are the new taillights. They appear to have a similar boomerang shape as those on the LaCrosse, a distinct change from the ovular units of the current model. The lower edge of the bumper seems to have more of a faux diffuser look, and the exhaust tips now blend into the shape of the bumper, rather than ending in simple round shapes. Since this update is clearly a mild one, we would expect to see the new Envision on sale sometime next year, probably as a 2019 model. It will join a rather fresh Buick lineup alongside the new Regal and Enclave.

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.

The NAPA® Chassis Car Pack for "Forza Horizon 2" on Xbox One has arrived, bringing five amazing new cars to blaze trails, break records, or just enjoy a casual cruise in.
