1963 Buick Riviera 401 Nailhead Very solid car that is ready for a new home. I have too many projects and I don't have time for this one. My loss is your gain!!! This Riviera is currently sporting a fresh coat of flat black enamel . The car was originally white and has blue interior. The interior is not in great shape but it is all there. The front seats have been recovered at some point. The car starts, runs, and drives down the road nicely. I've only driven up and down the road 10-15 miles at a time but have had no issues. It does have a tick in the top end. It is likely a lifter making this noise, seems this is a very common issue with Nail Heads. It doesn't smoke or use any oil. Brakes are all new and the master cylinder has been rebuilt. New rear wheel bearings and the fronts have been packed. I recently changed all the fluids, and it has new plugs.
Please look closely at all the pictures and you will see this is a very solid car. I've included pictures of the few body panels with issues. There is a small rust spot on the drivers lower quarter panel, smaller than a dime. There are 2 or 3 small rust spots in the floors, but better than almost all cars of this age. There is rust in the hood lip, it has multiple pin holes. I've tried to point out all of the bad with this car to make sure you know exactly what you are getting, but this is a really nice car that I think anyone looking for solid a project will be completely satisfied with. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, I'd be happy to answer. 217-733-2293 - Bob The car is for sale locally and I will end the auction early if it sells. Thanks for looking!!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
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.
