Buick’s Riviera was always a car of distinction. As Buick’s flagship model, it exemplified a unique combination of styling, luxury, and sportiness that appealed to the well heeled. Its 6th generation was no exception, garnering Motor Trend magazine’s prestigious “Car of the Year” award in 1979.

This gorgeous 1980 Buick Riviera has traveled only 33,600 miles. Finished in optional Gray Firemist, its finish has a beautiful luster that is further enhanced by an abundance of chrome and brightwork. Its complementing Burgundy pinstripes and wire wheel hubcaps add additional notes of distinction.

The interior is similarly refined, featuring luxurious Burgundy velour-look seating areas and rich wood appliques. The seating areas, carpeting, dashboard, door panels, and headliner show like new, and exhibit only the most minimal wear. Its optional power astroroof and full-feature AM-FM stereo radio with 8-track tape player will add to your driving pleasure.

You will also appreciate this car’s long list of standard and optional comfort and convenience items, including the following:

  • Factory astroroof
  • Power windows
  • Power door locks
  • Power driver’s seat
  • Power antenna
  • Automatic climate control
  • Full-feature AM-FM stereo radio with 8-track tape player
  • Cruise control
  • Twilight Sentinel automatic headlamp delay
  • Tilt steering column
  • Electric trunk lock and release
  • Front and rear light monitors
  • Lighted visor vanity mirrors
  • Rear-quarter courtesy and reading lamps
  • Electric rear-window defogger
  • Delay feature windshield wipers

All power options work as they should, with the exception of the air conditioning and the driver’s power seat. Even the clock works!

Powered by a 4-barrel carbureted 350 CID V-8 and a three-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain is considered to be the most desirable ever put into this generation of Rivieras—and it was only available for 1979 and 1980. Adequately powered for the size of the car, it has power and smoothness far superior to the smaller displacement engines available in Rivieras produced from 1981 – 1985. Having just completed a 700 mile road trip, this car runs and drives as well as it looks.

A few items of note are that minor imperfections in the finish and chrome do not detract from the overall appearance of this car.

Always well maintained, this car has received the following recent updates:

  • New tires
  • New belts
  • New windshield wiper blades
  • New air filter
  • New exhaust
  • New AIR pump
  • New carburetor
  • New battery
  • Fresh oil & filter change
  • New ABS plastic front & rear fender fillers

Given the care this car has received, it will likely delight for many more year to come.

Included with sale is the original sales brochure.

If a well equipped and low mileage 6th generation Riviera is what you desire, this is the car for you!

Buick shows US dealers 2016 Cascada convertible

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The affordable four-seat convertible has become a largely forgotten genre in the States, especially with the death of the Chrysler 200 Convertible. Of course, there are still premium options from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz - not to mention more overtly performance-oriented droptop pony cars from Chevrolet and Ford - but if you want an affordable cruiser, you're kind of out of luck. That may be about to change, however, with renewed rumors of the Opel Cascada (pictured above) making it across the Atlantic wearing a Buick badge.
According to GM Inside News, Buick showed off the Cascada to US dealers last week, with renewed word that the company plans to bring it over from Europe for the 2016 model year. The US version will reportedly be practically identical to its German cousin in terms of styling, but the powertrain underneath is less certain. According to GMI, it may use the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is available in Europe with either 168 horsepower or 197 hp.
The Cascada rides on GM's Delta II platform, which also underpins the Verano, and the latest rumor certainly provides even more evidence that the convertible is probably on the way. Speculation about the droptop started when GM CEO Dan Akerson said last year that the car was on his wish list to bring over. Then, the US trademark on the name was reserved earlier this year, and the release was speculated for sometime in early 2016.

GM applies to trademark Buick's Electra name in Canada

Mon, Dec 27 2021

At Auto China 2020 in Beijing, Buick revealed an Electra concept with a design language called Potential Energy created by one of GM's Shanghai-based design studios. A press release about the concept said the "all-electric crossover offers a sneak peek at Buick’s vision for a new intelligent electric future." It's possible that the "intelligent electric future" could include the Electra name, as the Rivian Owners Forum discovered Buick applied to trademark that model name in Canada on December 20. Buick isn't new to the name, having put it on a luxury sedan it produced from 1959 to 1990. What better way to resurrect history with electricity using the name Electra and a design language called Potential Energy? As the Rivian forum also noted, Buick snuck a concept car into General Motors' promotional video for the Ultifi software platform that will connect owners' digital lives across vehicles and locations. For less than two seconds at the end of the vid, a seriously chic fastback sedan speeds through a digital landscape, a Buick tri-shield logo set into what looks like an active rear spoiler. We don't see Buick building this car, but we'd love it if Buick did. What we imagine more likely is a more production-possible evolution of the Electra concept shown in Beijing last year that had Ultium batteries powering two electric motors that shared a combined 583 horsepower among both axles. The sprint to 60 miles per hour was said to take 4.3 seconds, range estimated at about 410 miles. The dihedral doors enclosed a buttonless cockpit with a rectangular, retracting steering wheel, huge curved screen, eConnect software, and an AI-powered assistant for feature control. There was also a skateboard tucked into the rear bumper for last-mile travel to the destination or the half-pipe. We expect Buick to launch at least one crossover in 2024, and another in 2025. One of them will likely compete with the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the production version of the Chrysler Airflow concept. Related video:

2017 Buick LaCrosse First Drive

Fri, Aug 5 2016

The 2017 Buick LaCrosse seems destined to never get the credit it deserves. It's bound to be dismissed as just another full-size sedan relic, ignored by those who habitually visit their Lexus dealer every few years for a new ES. This new LaCrosse will inevitably be overshadowed in the Buick showroom by SUVs and never fully appreciated by the majority of its buyers who simply want a big, comfy, and quiet car. That destiny would be a shame. The completely redesigned LaCrosse is now a legitimate luxury car, not because advertisements say it is, but for the way it drives, the way it looks, and the way it cossets you inside. The former is really the most impressive, since it's also the most surprising. During the LaCrosse press launch in Portland, Oregon, Buick boasted how comfortable and exceedingly quiet the car is, and indeed, it isolates road imperfections and allows for a pair of low talkers to converse in subdued tones. The big Buick sedan's low-effort steering will also satisfy the nice-and-easy tastes of most drivers. The best way to describe driving the LaCrosse is "unwaveringly pleasant." Yet, during that pleasant drive, road dips and mid-corner undulations don't make the comfort-tuned suspension bob and bound like its competitors might. Its body control and generally planted nature encourage speeds and confidence to creep ever so higher through successive sweeping corners on Oregon's densely forested Mist-Clatskanie Highway. Even that low-effort steering demonstrates precision, linearity, and just enough feedback to further spur on such a pace. This unexpected capability is best observed on cars equipped with the optional 20-inch wheels, which supplant the standard 18s and, more importantly, bring with them Continuous Damping Control (CDC) and GM's HiPer Strut front suspension, which is designed to quell torque steer and further improve cornering grip. You don't even have to engage CDC's firmer Sport mode to appreciate the LaCrosse's surprisingly sharp road manners. "We unleashed the engineers," chief engineer Jeffrey Yanssens said after our test drive. "I told them, 'I don't care how much it costs. I want you to know your system and I want your system to be the best it can be. What do you have to do to make that happen and what can I do to enable you to make that happen?'" Yanssens is honest and clearly proud of his team's work.
