1971 Third Generation (1971-1973) "Boat Tail" Riviera

1971 was the first model year of the dramatically redesigned third generation Riviera model.  The "Boat Tail" design was inspired by the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray split window coupe.  The 1971 Riviera model featured a unique louvered trunk design ("Full-Flo" ventilation system) that was not available on later models.  

The 455 CID V8 Engine was rated at 335 HP while the car has impressive performance despite it's size and weight.  Great driving car for long distance car show enthusiasts.

 This is a fantastic example of a true survivor car. I purchased this car 2 years ago from it's original owner.Replace the heater core & carpet with a kit,flushed all fluids and replace all filters,transmission fluid and filter,spark plugs,wires,rotor,cap,air filter. The interior is amazingly clean and it still has the original factory installed 8-track radio.Everything works all power windows,horn,key buzzer,int courtesy lights,trunk light, No cracks on the dash or rips on the headliner.very nice vynol top.The car is stock and runs and drives like a new car. The engine is the factory 315hp 455 ci V8. 43,825 original miles I was told. It has a small exhaust leak coming from the right manifold, maybe a doughnut or gasket. The AC system worked a few years ago but needs to be charged now. The interior is a 9.5 out of 10 and the factory paint is a 7 in my opinion.Drivers bottom seat has a split in the seam,rear bumper on passenger side has a little blemish/dent,In front of passenger rear tire theres some bobbling at the bottom.
 It is very solid and rust free and I showed the car at local shows last summer,but the paint is not perfect. Glass, chrome and rubber are very nice and the pictures don't lie.

Buick Encore GX expected to come to the U.S. alongside the popular Encore

Mon, Apr 22 2019

When we posted on Buick unveiling the Encore GX at Auto Shanghai 2019 as a longer-wheelbase version of the Encore, we though the GX trim could supplant our local Encore. According to Automotive News, citing "sources familiar with the plans," Buick will sell both the Encore and the Encore GX here. Brand boss Duncan Aldred told Buick dealers in January to expect a new model this year, and it appears the slightly larger subcompact crossover is that product. GM Authority reported the same news in March, the outlet saying that Buick intends to re-create in the U.S. the "model family" strategy the carmaker employs in China. Over there, our rebadged Verano sold as the first-generation Excelle, Excelle GT and Excelle GX, the GX being the wagon version of the sedan. When the Excelle trio moved a less expensive platform for the second generation, Buick introduced a Verano model in China in both sedan and Verano GS hatchback forms. AN reported that Buick is also planning a smaller three-row Enclave for China. The Encore GX differs fundamentally from both the Chinese- and U.S.-market Encores. Our Encore, a rebadged Opel/Vauxhall Mokka, rides on the Gamma II platform. The second-generation China-market Encore rides on GM's new Global Emerging Markets (GEM) platform, an updated version of the Gamma II for regions like China and Latin America. The Encore GX rides on the Vehicle Strategy Set - Front (VSS-F) architecture. AN wasn't sure yet where our U.S.-market Encore GX will be built, but doesn't expect it to come from China. The Encore GX here will slide into the lineup between the $23,200 Encore and $31,995 Envision. Whereas the Chinese model aims to stop hemorrhaging Encore sales in China, our version will want to expand the Encore success story. Since it went on sale in 2013, the model has posted double-digit sales increases here every year save for last year. In 2018 the model sold 93,073 units, accounting for 47 percent of brand sales. There's no reason to doubt the Encore GX will boost that number.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob 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.
