1965 BUICK RIVIERA  ***NO RESERVE! HIGH BID BUYS THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR!***

This is a very nice, turn key car. Purchased from the original owners nephew in 1997. Stripped to bare metal & repainted in 2002. The paint work is very nice & still shines very well. The color is absolutely stunning!

Electronic ignition, heads redone, mild cam & trans rebuilt with a mild shift kit in 2010. Newer water pump, master cylinder & battery. It runs strong! When sitting for a while it will leave a couple of spots on the ground from the power steering pump & oil pan. Newer flow master style muffler sounds great! The Odometer shows just under 31,000 miles. Less than 3,000 have been put on it since '97. I know prior to that the car had been stored in a garage for many years. So it may be correct. But I'm not sure.

The body is straight & solid. All of the chrome & stainless moldings are original & in very good condition. Floor boards & frame are solid.

New rear springs & shocks were installed last September.

The interior is in nice original condition. The seats are in very good condition. Dash, door & rear side panels also are very nice. Carpet is getting dull & has a small tear on the driver side front by the kick panel.

All 4 power windows work. The power seat motor works, but sticks on the right track. Maybe one of the cables needs to be replaced or the track greased & realigned. It's far enough back so it wasn't an issue for me & I never looked into it. The power antenna & original am/fm radio work. The tuner & volume give a little static when changing stations or adjusting volume.
 
The clam shell headlamp motor has been removed & needs to be rebuilt. The clam shells open and close manually very easily.

This is a great car! I truly hate to sell it. But I have too many cars & need the space. So I've listed it with No Reserve at an extremely fair starting price.

Please ask all questions & have all funds available before bidding.

I'm happy to answer any questions, assist with shipping & or inspections. Serious buyers only please! 

If you are local & would like to see the car in person. Feel free to send me your # so we can set up a day & time.

Don't want to wait for the auction to end? I will consider Buy it Now offers to end it early.

This car is for sale locally. So the auction could end early if sold. 

Thank you for viewing my listing.

Jay Leno recaps Pebble Beach

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Each year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the picturesque, ocean-side setting of the golf course becomes a parking lot for a vast array of multi-million dollar vehicles. However, if you missed the posh event this year, then Jay Leno has you covered yet again. For a nearly hour-long installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has dumped his denim in favor of a suit to take viewers on an insider tour of the lavish gathering. He interviewed some of the most talented designers in the auto industry, too. Leno starts off checking out a few beautiful classics by the shore, but things really get interesting for his stroll down the Concept Car Lawn for a scoop on the vehicles of tomorrow. Ed Welburn tells Leno all about the Buick Avenir, and Shiro Nakamura offers a tour of the Infiniti Q60. Plus, there are detailed looks at the Lincoln Continental, Hyundai Vision G Coupe, and Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax reportedly dead after 2022

Fri, Mar 18 2022

The Buick Encore will not get an encore, and the Chevrolet Trax is dead in its tracks. Separate unverified reports say the two crossovers, which are essentially identical underneath the sheetmetal, will retire at the end of the 2022 model year without being directly replaced. Citing anonymous sources, enthusiast website GM Authority wrote that production of the Encore and the Trax is scheduled to end in the third quarter of 2022. Both models are manufactured in Bupyeong-gu, South Korea, and General Motors will reportedly use the extra production capacity to build more examples of the Trailblazer, which outsold the Encore and the Trax combined by a significant margin in 2021. General Motors hasn't commented on the report, but we wouldn't be surprised if the end is indeed near for the Encore and the Trax. Buick released the Encore for the 2013 model year, and Chevrolet launched the Trax for 2015, but the model made its debut as the Opel Mokka in 2012. It's at the end of its life cycle, and sales figures reflect this: 20,072 units of the Encore were sold in America in 2021, a drop of 52% compared to 2020, while 42,590 examples of the Trax found a home, a 60% decline. It's further proof that Americans don't like small cars. Viewed in that light, the decision not to replace either crossover makes perfect sense. If the report is accurate, the Encore GX (which is not related to the Encore in any way) will enter the 2023 model year as Buick's entry-level model. The situation is a little more complicated at Chevrolet: The pocket-sized Spark is on its way out in 2022 as well, meaning that the Trailblazer will become the entry point into the range. It's a different story in Europe: Opel, which is now part of the Stellantis group, released the second-generation Mokka in June 2020.

2013 Opel Cascada

The Future Buick Verano Convertible?
I wasn't wearing a pedometer while in Germany covering the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, but it's safe to say I walked more than a few miles between press conferences, shooting cars and trekking back to the media center on the first day alone. For this reason, it didn't take much convincing from General Motors for me to duck out of the Messe a day early and drive some of its latest Opel models. No, this didn't include the all-new Country Tourer, but I was able to drive the Opel Mokka (our Buick Encore), the Opel Adam and the Opel Cascada.
I focused most of my driving time behind the wheel of the Cascada, which went on sale in Europe earlier this year, since rumors are swirling that a Buick version of this convertible "could happen soon." Buick hasn't had a convertible since the Reatta, and GM has been lacking a non-performance, budget-minded convertible since the Pontiac brand - and its G6 - was dropped, so adding the Cascada to Buick showrooms could further help the reemerging brand compete in the near-luxury segment. Although the weather was too chilly (and occasionally rainy) to enjoy the Cascada with its top down for very long, I was able to clock a fair bit of drive time behind the wheel on roads ranging from the autobahn to tight roads in small, quaint villages.
