Mileage: 49,000
Model: Riviera
Year: 1985
85 Riviera convertible I bought last year from an older gent in Oregon, he babied it for 8 years in heated garage, he bought it from long time owners in Arizona who kept it inside all the time. It is dry and free of any rust as you would expect. I wanted to buy the finest example that I could find and did not mind paying for it. I am not suggesting its the best one around but I can't imagine there being many of the 300 aprox made by Buick in 1985 being in better condition. The paint is factory original other than front right fender and part of right quarter panel, the minor repaint is fine and no indication what so ever of any damage. All chrome and exterior trim is perfect, the top is original and I redyed it, it looks perfect. That takes care of the outside, the inside is amazing in my opinion, the leather is very nice, carpet, trim , dash etc, all top notch. There is a snap on " cockpit " cover that I removed the snaps that were installed on the door top chrome and one on the centre of the dash, it made me want to cry when I saw this, however after removing the fasteners all looks fine, you can hardly tell where these 5 snaps were. The door top chrome could be changed, and the tiny hole from a small screw on the dashpad you can barely notice. I am fussy and I am fine with it. The headliner is perfect, all the options including the antenna work, the speakers are old but sound fine unless you really turn it up loud. The A/C is not cold as usual, I will have it charged, the automatic climate system all functions correctly. Mechanically not much to tell you, 49000 miles, tires are newer as is the exhaust, level ride works as it should, I removed the factory front brake pads to safety check this car , that was all it needed. It runs and drives no different that when it was brand new. This car clearly has been in the hands of people like myself all its 28 years. If you want a very, very nice 85 Riv convertible, this is the one to buy. I will drive it into upstate New York if necessary for a US buyer. I have described this 100 % accurrate just as I would want you to do so if you were selling it to me, I have left nothing out so no suprises will be had. Call me if you are serious and want to chat, Larry 613 769-3316

Lexus LC 500 dominates 2016 EyesOn Design Awards
Wed, Jan 13 2016The Lexus LC 500 captured top honors for the best-designed production car and the best interior at the 10th annual EyesOn Design awards at the Detroit Auto Show. The awards are handed out by the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. The Buick Avista won the concept car category, just as its four-door predecessor, the Avenir, did last year. Other winners this year included the Chrysler Pacifica, which won for the best-designed production "truck" (as crossovers and minivans are sometimes categorized), and the Audi H-Tron Quattro, which won for the best concept truck. The Acura Precision concept was also recognized for its "innovative use of color, graphics, and materials." And the new Volvo S90 was singled out for its human-machine interface. The panel of jurists this year included designers from an array of automakers and art schools. Several past honorees for the organization's LifeTime Design Achievement Award participated in the voting, including GM's Wayne Cherry, BMW DesignworksUSA founder Chuck Pelly, Hyundai's Peter Schreyer, and Jack Telnack (formerly of Ford). Telnack also served on the select panel of chief judges this year, alongside Chris Chapman from Hyundai, Dave Marek from Acura, and Stewart Reed from the Art Center College of Design.

Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident
Sat, 09 Mar 2013A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.
