This is my beautiful 1963 Buick Riviera that I have owned for about 2 years. I bought this car in New Hampshire and brought it over here last fall. To my knowledge I am only the 4th owner of this car since it was bought new in 63'. I believe the story is that the car was passed down from father to son in the same family, until the last owner needed to sell it because he needed the money. That's where I came in. When I got the car it was in great, running condition, and it still had the original white wall tires on it. The garage I bought it from also did a fair amount of work to it to make it drive as amazingly as it does now. This car is completely original except for the new tires and a Borla side pipe exhaust system that I had installed professionally last summer. I have taken very good care of this car. The last 2 winters since I have owned the car it has been in a temperature controlled garage, and during the summer I cleaned the whole car inside and out every week or so. Before I go into any more detail about the condition, please look at the pictures I supplied, and feel free to ask for more if you want them. The paint is in great condition for being original. The color looks as it did 50 years ago, and it is a great color to begin with. There are a few imperfections in it that can be seen in the pictures, but overall the paint looks fantastic. The engine (401 Nailhead V8), transmission, and suspension all work 100% correctly and it drives amazingly. The interior also looks amazing for its age. The seats are in great condition, the dashboard is perfect, and all the chrome knobs and buttons are still there. The original AM radio currently does not work although there is a new Sony radio, with a new chrome antenna installed in the glove box. I also replaced the original 6x9 speaker between the rear seats with a new one.  The carpet looks great in the front and under the front seats, but it needs a little attention underneath the rear floor mats. The floors are in great condition and there are no holes to be found anywhere. The underside of the car has some surface rust, but the car is solid and feels great. There are some small rust spots on the exterior of the car but a little TLC should make it look great. The car has only 90,000 original miles and it feels like it. Honestly this car drives better than most of the new cars I have driven. This was strictly a good weather car, and to my knowledge it has never touched snow or salt. I really love this car, and I'm fine with keeping it if I do not get a good enough offer on it. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have, and thank you so much for taking a look at my Buick. Thanks!

2018 Kia Stinger vs. other luxury hatchbacks compared by the numbers

Sat, Nov 18 2017

Ten years ago, if you had told us that one of the many new luxury segments to develop would be sedan-style hatchbacks, we'd have said you'd lost your mind. And yet, here we are today with not one, but four cars competing in just such a niche upscale segment: The Kia Stinger, Buick Regal Sportback, BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo and Audi A5. That's just in one size and price bracket. Two of the manufacturers listed here make larger versions of each luxury hatchback. We aren't entirely sure how it happened, but we're not going to complain, because we love the idea of a car with almost no compromise: luxury features, sporty performance, and plenty of practicality. Try Autoblog' s Car Finder to search for your next new vehicle. One of the reasons we're taking a look at these cars right now is that Kia has recently released pricing for its entry in the segment, the Stinger and Stinger GT. Buick wasn't far behind with the Regal Sportback and Regal GS, nor was Audi with the A5 and S5. So it seemed like an appropriate moment to look at the numbers and see which come out ahead or behind, with victors in each category highlighted with bold and underlined text. What we found when comparing these cars' statistics is that each one has a clear area of expertise. For performance, it's hard to beat the four-cylinder Kia Stinger and the V6 Stinger GT. The four-banger has the most horsepower of the four cars, and is just behind on torque. The V6 has the most power and torque among the six-cylinder versions. The Stingers are also the second lightest of the group when equipped with rear-wheel drive, though they fall to third with all-wheel drive. Space is a split between the Buick Regals and BMW 3 Series Gran Turismos. The Buicks have the most cargo space with the rear seats up or folded by a significant margin. The BMW on the other hand generally offers more space for passengers. It's up to you what's most important. Compare these and other potential new vehicle purchases using our tool. When it comes to cost, nothing can beat the four-cylinder Regal's base price of under $26,000. But if a V6 is what you're after, the Stinger GT is the cheapest. Neither matches the Audi A5 and S5 for fuel economy, though. Both Audis have the highest numbers for city, highway, and combined EPA estimates. Related Video:

MotorWeek remembers the nearly forgotten Buick Reatta

Thu, Feb 18 2016

The Reatta was Buick's failed experiment to take on European competitors with its own two-seat luxury coupe and convertible. The model only lasted a few years, and US customers didn't see another droptop from the brand until the Cascada. The latest MotorWeek Retro Review takes a look back at the short-lived roadster and remembers it quite fondly. Host John Davis calls the 1990 Reatta droptop "one of the best looking convertibles ever." His sentiment seems a little hyperbolic, but the roadster is definitely an attractive machine by the standards of the time. The smooth front end and pop-up headlights are reminiscent of Japanese sports cars of era, and the profile with the top down is elegant. There are weaknesses, though. The manual roof mechanism appears cumbersome to operate, and the crude digital instruments, which simulate physical dials, make the cabin look too dated. Other than a complaint about over-boosted power steering, MotorWeek enjoys how the Reatta drives, too. Buick's roadster is largely forgotten today, but such glowing praise suggests it deserves to be better remembered. Check out this Retro Review to look back on this interesting experiment from the early '90s. Related Video:

2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.
