The 1963 Buick Riviera is the first year production of the much sought after '63, '64, '65 first series. The 1963 Rivieras came equipped with the Buick 401 cubic inch engine and was the last year with the Dynaflow Transmission with the dual range. It's all stock and all original. Enclosed pictures shows the VIN and matching engine number proof.
The Riviera was purchased in San Francisco on February 24, 1976, and still sports the vintage black California license plates. At 50 years old, the car presently has just over 107,000 miles...that's about 2000 miles per year. The Riviera was repainted in the original tan color upon purchase and is still in very nice condition. Everything is original. The interior is original with very good leather (not vinyl) seats, carpet, headliner and door panels. Even the walnut wood paneling on the door and quarter panels is perfect, perfect original. The trunk matting and cardboard is original. And the headlamps are the vintage GM Guide T3's. The chrome and stainless exterior trim and all glass are in perfect condition, as well. The Riviera was never used for commuting, but for ROA activities and car shows in the Bay Area and always garaged. No dents, dings, scrapes, and certainly zero rust. There are a couple of small blemishes in the 40 year old Du Pont lacquer paint. The Riviera is equipped with many highly desirable options. Warning to other traffic is provided with the Four Note Horn option, consisting of the existing two horns behind the grill plus two more trumpet horns mounted on the inner side of the hood. For tunes the Riviera has the working AM BUICK Transistor Radio option with the Electric Radio Antenna option. For safety, the Riviera is equipped with not one, but two Remote Control Side Mirrors option. The right side remote mirror is very rare. The Riviera has the deluxe interior, which includes upgraded leather power seats,full length door and quarter wood inserts, and door full length armrest with door openers for front and rear seat passengers. Optional Power Windows are included, as well. A rare Cruise Control option works perfectly. And a Vacuum Trunk Opener option is included, as well. The Riviera is equipped with the standard Factory Power Brakes, Factory Power Steering, Factory 12" Drum Brakes with aluminum front drums that are par to disc brakes, Factory Air Conditioning blows hot air on the floor when set to heat, and ice cold air from the dash vents when set to cold. The engine starts right up, has lots of power, runs fantastic, the transmission operates smoothly and the drum brakes provide quick, sure stops. All original, unmolested stock 50 year old cars don't come up too often. The 1963 Buick Riviera with the sand exterior and tan leather interior equipped with bucket seats and console floor shift in the distinctive Riviera design is a fine example of desirable car built when the the Riviera was king of the road, providing great power, handling, and prestige in the personal luxury car field.

Buick tops in Consumer Reports' annual brand rankings
Wed, Feb 25 2015Buick is the first US-based automotive brand to crack the top 10 in Consumer Reports magazine's annual brand report cards. US automakers also placed three vehicles on the magazine's list of "top picks" for vehicles, the first time that's happened in 17 years. The rankings were unveiled Tuesday in the magazine's annual auto issue. Buick placed seventh in the brand rankings. But the brand rankings and top picks still were dominated by Japanese and German manufacturers, with Lexus, Mazda, Toyota, Audi and Subaru taking the top five brand spots. The magazine calculates each brand's overall score with a composite of its vehicles' road-test scores and reliability scores for each model in its annual survey of subscribers. It's the third year for the brand rankings. Porsche placed just ahead of Buick at number six, while Honda, Kia and BMW rounded out the top 10 brands. Mercedes-Benz, Acura and Infiniti all suffered precipitous declines in their rankings due to unreliable new models or poor road test scores. Mercedes fell out of the top 10 to 21st, while Acura dropped from number two to 11 with an unimpressive test of the new RLX sedan, the magazine said. In the model rankings, the top overall finisher was California-based Tesla's Model S electric car, for the second year in a row. The Model S, which cost the magazine $89,650, finished first due to its performance and technical innovations, the magazine said. Buick's Regal midsize car beat the BMW 328i as the top sports sedan, and the Chevrolet Impala was named the top large car. The model rankings show Consumer Reports' favorite among the 270 vehicles its team has recently tested. The rankings are closely watched in the auto industry, since shoppers consistently cite Consumer Reports as a main source of car-buying advice. Other top picks included the Subaru Impreza in the compact car category, Subaru Legacy in midsize cars, Toyota Prius as the best green car, Audi A6 luxury car, Subaru Forester small SUV, Toyota Highlander midsize SUV and the Honda Odyssey minivan. Japanese vehicles won six of 10 top pick categories, but that was the smallest number in the 19-year history of Consumer Reports top picks. "For years domestic automakers built lower-priced and lower-quality alternatives to imports, but those days are behind us," said Jake Fisher, the magazine's director of automotive testing. But other U.S.-based automakers still had problems.
Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China
Mon, 03 Mar 2014General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.
GM says over 40% of new China launches in next five years will be EVs
Wed, Aug 19 2020SHANGHAI — General Motors is planning an electric car offensive in China with more than 40% of its new launches in the country over the next five years set to be electric vehicles (EVs), the U.S. carmaker said on Wednesday. GM's electric vehicles, many of which will be all-electric battery cars, will be manufactured in China with almost all parts coming from local suppliers, the company said in a statement released at its Tech Day event in Shanghai. Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that GM was planning to overhaul its Chinese line-up to stem a slide of sales after more than two decades of growth in a country that contributes nearly a fifth of its profit. GM's new China boss Julian Blissett told Reuters that new technologies, such as EVs and cars with near hands-free driving for highways, would play a key role in GM's China initiatives, which are part of a push to get annual sales in the country back to the 4 million peak it hit in 2017. GM did not say in its statement how many new or significantly redesigned models it was planning to launch in China over the next five years. "China will play a crucial role in making our vision a reality," GM CEO Mary Barra said in the statement, referring to its initiative to create what it describes as a future of "zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion" through electrification and smart-driving technologies. GM has said it plans to invest more than $20 billion in electric and automated vehicles globally by 2025. It was not clear how much of that investment will be spent in China.
