Due to an unpaying buyer/bidder, I am relisting to ol' girl again -----

This auction is for a 1955 Buick "SUPER" - Riviera - 2-Door Hardtop - "project car".
This "Super" was sold as a used car Jan. 7, 1957 from Benson Motors in Minden, Nebraska.
Owned by the father/daughter who bought the car in 1957 until I got it recently -
Some time ago, I had bought the daughter's 1967 Barracuda that she bought NEW in 1967,
so when they were leaving town, she contacted me about her father's Buick.
I have the old "small-style" Nebraska Title for it - CLEAN Title - ready for the next owner.

This Buick needs restored but is way above average for "starter project cars" - Good Color Combo too.
I took a bunch of pics so buyers can Clearly see what they're bidding on.

I would consider this car a "low-rust" body -
Trunk, Mid & Back Floor pans, Engine Compartment, etc are Very Solid with ONLY surface rust
LH/RH Front Floor Pans need repaired (see pics) - Small rust-hole bottom of LH Front Fender.
Rocker panels/Bottom Edge of body getting some rust but looks worse in the pictures than they actually are.
Frame Rails, Suspension, etc also look Very Good - Very Minimal rust to be fixed on this ol' body !
One advantage to this Buick is it's longevity with one family and minimal parts loss.
Car is almost totally complete except missing Top-End of the Nail-Head Engine, Radio & Speaker and small misc parts.
Sure makes restoration a WHOLE lot easier when all the little "nuts & bolts" that are so time consuming and costly to find & replace are attached to the car !

GLASS - Windshield & Side Glass will need replaced due to crack, discoloration, etc -- BACK Window is in Good Condition.

EXTERIOR Mouldings, etc ---
LH/RH Side Mouldings are in Very Nice Condition from front to rear - NO dings, very straight !
Both Bumpers are good candidates to be rechromed - "Honey-Comb" Grill is Very Nice - Headlite Bezels shined up nicely, Lenses are Good.
Tail-lites, Front-Fender Mounted Mirrors and the (8) Side-Marker have some small "pitting" but shine up nicely.
Windshield, Side Windows and Rear Window Chrome looks Very Nice.

INTERIOR:
Needs interior restoration - Pictures below show it clearly -
Nice that it's pretty Complete except for radio and Speaker - Pretty Neat Chrome Cigarette Lighter mounted under the Dash !

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN:
Looks to be pretty Complete except missing Heads, Intake, Carb and Air Cleaner.
Transmission, Driveshaft, etc are connected - Just needs engine replaced.
I was told this was a "nail-head" engine - I do not know Cu. In.size.

Overall, this ol' Buick will make someone a heck of a "starter" project car -
Whether to restore, ratrod or whatever, it's VERY Nice to have a pretty complete car making restoration so much easier !!!

My shop PC died(using a friend's laptop to do this ad) and my shop phone(308-236-5784) is not working due to remodelling issues,
so please email questions through Ebay or call my Cell: 308-380-8630 and leave a message please.
Due to the amount of calls, etc (I'm a one-man shop), I will call back as soon as possible - MANY THANKS !

2018 Buick Regal TourX starts right around $30,000

Wed, Jun 28 2017

The all-new Buick Regal is coming, and it's ditching the sedan bodystyle in favor of two liftback variants. This week, CarsDirect reported pricing on the more interesting of the two, the Regal TourX. While we're waiting on an official confirmation from Buick, at $29,995 (presumably before destination), the lifted-wagon will significantly undercut competitors from BMW, Volvo, and Audi. With standard all-wheel drive and a powerful turbocharged inline-four, the Regal TourX has the potential to steal som sales from the Europeans. CarsDirect bases its report on the latest Buick order guides. All versions of the Regal TourX come with all-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four making 250 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The only available transmission is an eight-speed automatic. Push-button start, active-noise cancellation, and 18-inch wheels are part of the package. The Regal TourX Preferred bumps the price to $33,575. For the extra few hundred dollars, you get an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power driver's seat, and door sill plates. There are also more colors available than on the base model. Further options include a $1,240 driver's assistance package with blind-spot monitoring, rear park assist, and cross-traffic alert, and a $1,200 panoramic moonroof. A fully loaded, top-trim Regal TourX rings in at $38,860. Direct competitors are difficult to name. The pricing is above something like the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, but far less than the Audi A4 Allroad, Volvo V60 Cross Country, or a BMW 3 Series wagon. It ought to offer more power and refinement than a Subaru Outback, but we'll have to wait to drive it before we can make a final call.

2014 Buick LaCrosse steps up to the big leagues with plenty of luxury

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Following the introduction of the updated 2014 Buick LaCrosse and Regal, the oldest vehicle in Buick's lineup will be the Verano, which was just introduced last year. Having such a fresh product mix bodes well for Buick as it tries to create a new image in the US, and after checking out the amount of luxury being stuffed into the new LaCrosse for 2014, GM's awkwardly positioned brand may finally have the ability to stand out.
Granted, the model unveiled was the all-new, top-of-the-line Ultra Luxury Interior Package, but this package brings top-notch leather and soft suede covering everything above the beltline as well as real ash wood accent trim throughout the cabin. While there was no mention of price, we don't expect this model to come cheap in terms of what we expect from Buick, although it will likely be competitively priced with similarly equipped rivals like the Acura TL or Lexus ES. Adding even more to the LaCrosse's interior, dual eight-inch displays make up the gauge cluster and center stack, and the number of buttons on the center stack have been greatly reduced, creating a cleaner look for the instrument panel.
Another big change is the next-generation of Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system that brings with it all of the recent enhancements of the Cadillac CUE and Chevrolet MyLink systems. Differentiating itself from other GM infotainment systems, the new Buick IntelliLink stands out by allowing users to customize the apps they can add and not just being limited to what GM sees fit.
