Selling my grandfathers GORGEOUS 1983 Convertible Buick Riviera, such a rare classic. My grandfather has kept it covered in garage mostly since he obtained it years ago, just took out on a few occasions. The car has been well maintenanced over the years runs like a beauty should.

The Good: always maintenanced, LOW only 69,173 original miles on it, runs great very smoothe, interior still in great condition (seats, carpet, dash etc all still look beautiful no cracks/fading, has original parade boot in great condition, also original spare tire, has white wall tires with original caps, the top still works good mechanically, the power for seats and everything still works good, has original cassette stereo inside that all works perfectly. the trunk still looks very clean all original, soo many plus's see the photos.

The Bad: The convertible top had some weather damage that were patched as you see in photos, but still works great no major leaks, The rear right quarter panel got scraped and has the cracks you see in photos. The rear bumper fill in near the license plate holder is also cracked but is also another low cost repair. Other than these flaws this car is amazing.

Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to have Buicks flagship vehicle!!!  

 
NOTES: 

* Engine is a 5.0 it gets great mileage on the highway due to engine size but no exact mileage testing ever done.

* Rag top has only cosmetic issues as pictured, but has been patched so no leaks. Mechanically the top works great though. We've gotten couple quotes for rag top replacement ranging from $300-$500 

* The parade boot is the leather piece that covers the top when it's down behind backseat, they call it that because back in the day people would sit on top of this area in parades.


Other than that this car is mechanically sound and beautiful.  


PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING!!

SHIPPING: SHIPPING WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER


WE WILL FULLY DETAIL THE VEHICLE FOR BUYER!!  (I apologize as the photos taken were before any kind of detailing has been done, this is a beautiful vehicle)

Malaise Era Junkyard Gem: 1979 Buick Electra Limited

Wed, Jun 22 2016

In the fall of 1973, the Arab members of OPEC shut off the oil taps, and Detroit got busy making many of their full-sized land yachts a lot smaller. By model year 1977, the downsized fifth-generation Buick Electra was ready to go ... just in time for the 1979 Iranian Revolution to squeeze the supply of the black stuff even further. You won't see many of the 1977-85 Electras these days, but I spotted this faded but solid '79 Limited sedan in a Denver self-service yard last week. General Motors must have bought up the entire world's supply of blue velour around this time, because you'll see this stuff in just about every car they made for the following decade or so. By this time, GM was doing a lot of mixing-and-matching with engines from its various divisions, which meant you could buy an Oldsmobile 88 with a Chevrolet 350 V8 engine, a Chevrolet Monza with a Buick 231 V6 engine, or— as in this case— a Buick Electra with an Oldsmobile 350 V8 engine. Do you want to know how many horses this engine delivered to this 3,631-pound car? 155 horsepower out of 5.7 liters of engine displacement. Times were tough during the Malaise Era.

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says

Wed, Apr 15 2015

You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.
