For sale is my 1957 Buick Super Series 56 - R (Riviera) 2 door hardtop
This car was bought out of a barn in the mid west about 2 years ago. It ran the winter before it was parked, missing a battery now. Has original motor and trans and all original interior. the teal and white is the original paint. The body is overall very good with several small rust spots. the surface rust is where paint has been sanded. it has one spot that is sanded and has bondo applied in the driver rear quarter. other then that there doesnt seem to be any bondo, the worst of the rust is in the rear bumper corner, its rotted through on the passenger side but the driver side still appears to be pretty good. I paid someone to rebuild the starter for me, so that should be good. The back tire is flat in the photo but i have a newer tire on there now. The glass is all good, i dont have a crank on the driver door, the seats need re-upholstery. the headliner looks alright too. The trim is mostly all there except on the replacement door and the rear taillight cover on the driver side. These cars are the most rare of this model with these options for 1957 with an exception to the convertible. I have a clear and clean out of state title in hand with the original keys, and no back fees. Its got some parts in the trunk as well, i haven't looked through it but i was told its what you dont see on the body. Its a project, its not just a come out and drive it home. But it is a rare car and a neat old big 2 door hardtop with fins. These care make killer customs, or lowriders. ive seen them as bombs or even as street rods i guess with all the billet and airbags. Please dont offer me trades or try tell me how much its going to take you to fix it up. this isnt my first rodeo so youre wasting your time. the car is what it is, and it costs what it costs. if youre not into building a classic car then this isnt for you, i suggest you go buy a PT Cruiser and leave something like this to a person who wants to spend the money or the elbow grease to get it nice. All auctions are of course, sold as is where is, no warranty implied. I will help hold the car for a while as well so you can arrange a shipper at no added fee as long as we discuss the terms before hand.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
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.
