I'm selling this 1966 Riviera formally referred to in the 60’s as the Gentlemen’s Muscle car... Rescued from the Arizona Desert this car has been sitting for years and all I did to get it started and driving was air up the tires, clean the gas bowl and fill it with gas, install a new battery and the car came to life. The body and all the chrome bumpers are is in great shape with no dents or rust. The body has had some  minor custom work done by someone in it’s past history like shaving the trunk lid lock as well as the side emblems. There is some sign of bondo cracking where it was used to fill these areas… The paint is peeling from sitting in the hot Arizona sun.  There is no rust present in this car anywhere…

The car runs and drives  and shifts gears like it should. The air conditioning blows cold but needs work on re-plumbing the rubber vacum lines as they have become brittle and need attention The air ducts under the dash need replaced because they have hardened over the years are very fragil and unravel when disconnecting .The car has power windows all around that work . The passenger side is slow and sticks needing attention. The other windows go up and down and are working better each time they are used..

As to the engine on this car, It’s a 425 Nail head with a tag attached to the head saying it had been rebuilt at one time. There is a small sputtering and annoying exhaust leak but other than that the car sounds good. Once in a while when the car idle drops lower that around 640 to 700 RPM I hear a rattle in the engine compartment but at this time have not figured out what it is but, rev up the engine and it disappears completely and no more noticeable signs of it at any speed ..  Other than that the engine seems to run good, does not smoke but still needs work ... The oil has been changed, the gas tank cleaned, the A arm bushings both top and bottom were replaced the front end was aligned, a new alternator was installed as well as a new battery and the interior and exterior was cleaned… The front brake cylinders were rebuilt and all work well . The hidden headlights work ..

The car is missing nothing that I can see except the original wheels. The tires are not in good shape but hold air. The interior is in good shape as can be seen from the photos. The seats are fabric and were sun bleached but with a little black dye on the fabric inserts the black color of the fabric seats came back.. The carpet needs changed out, the dash pad is in fair condition with a small tear on each end and can be repaired with care. The radio works "AM" only as well as the power antenna . . The vertical speedometer works very as it should as does the turn signals and all the lights . Some of the gauges work part of the time and some all the time including the gas gauge but still all of them could use grounding and wiring connection attention as would any car that has sit that long in the desert… The car has two electric fans for cooling the engine. At one time I think that this car was a beautiful custom paint and body combination and some ones pride and joy..

If you have any questions please feel free to email me. I’ll try to answer as quickly as possible.

 Thank you for looking

2018 Buick LaCrosse Avenir gets dash of flash

Wed, Nov 8 2017

The 2018 Buick LaCrosse Avenir continues the rollout of the top-trim Avenir line, joining the Enclave. They use the same strategy: package some extra features as standard and give the vehicles more design flair. On the outside, the LaCrosse Avenir gets shiny chrome mesh grilles and Avenir badging, just like the Enclave. Two types of wheels are available on the LaCrosse, either 19-inch pieces finished in "Pearl Nickel" or 20-inch versions finished in "Midnight Silver." Inside, there is exclusive chestnut brown leather interior. The Avenir logo is stitched into the headrests of the seats and is displayed on the door sill plates. Aside from the visual tweaks, the Avenir trim adds a bunch of standard features. Among the convenience items are navigation, a sunroof and a Bose sound system. It also features the nine-speed automatic transmission hooked up to the 310-horsepower V6. But items such as the trick all-wheel-drive system and continuously adjustable suspension are still options. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but expect it to be more than the $42,090 of the next highest-trim LaCrosse Premium with the V6. And Buick expects it will sell plenty of these cars, since it also revealed that 90 percent of LaCrosse buyers choose the top two trims out of the four available. The car goes on sale early next year. Related Video: Featured Gallery 2018 Buick LaCrosse Avenir View 10 Photos Image Credit: Buick Buick Luxury Sedan buick avenir

GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories

Sat, Feb 29 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
