1953 Buick Super Riviera 4 Door Sedan on 2040-cars
Oswego, Illinois, United States
Listing for a friend that has some medical issues and has decide to sell his baby. Here is an email I received from him:
"Bruce, 58,000 miles box stock original. Tires new. Car flushed and radiator
cleaned and resoldered by the master- plus all hoses and under seat radiator
properly gone through, all new brakes, arced and cylinders new. Lines dry from
Arizona and no problem . Original spare, wedge block, jack and owners manual.
Factory desert tint Arizona issue glass. No metal issues anywhere, period. Even
dog leg rear door at wheel arch perfect. NEVER SALT OR SNOW, EVER, OR GOD WILL
STRIKE ME DEAD....... LEFT ORIGINAL PAINT
ON DOOR POSTS, REST OF CAR WENT TO BARE METAL....EXHAUST NEW. Car is a 1953 Super
Riviera 4 door sedan ( like the regular super only wheelbase as in Roadmaster, 1st year 322 nailhead and 12 volt. Possibilities are endless for this time
capsule ride! Even has dealer tag on "new" day nite mirror on how to use "anti
dazzle feature" un-torn after 60 years! Interior is original and is tired but
complete and looks good as is but would blow your mind with a simple carpet and
seat job. Headliner is perfect! Rebuilt fuel/vacuum pump." I personally know this car and I'm the only one who has driven this in years and only occaisionally to keep it fresh. A couple of cruise nights, my sons wedding, and just to drive it around from time to time. I did a complete tune up, oil change and added a brand new battery just about a month ago. This car is garage kept and NEVER driven in winter. There is ABSOLUTELY no rust anywhere on this car, look at the pictures of trunk and spare tire well.. There are more pictures if needed. This can be driven anywhwere with no concerns, heat works, runs cools, starts, stops, steers fine. If you were to restore, everything is there, no hard to find parts to look for, or drive AS IS! Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

NHTSA may greatly expand GM airbag recall
Wed, 05 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is pondering whether to dramatically upscale a pair of airbag recalls on General Motors vehicles. The two existing campaigns, one launched in the fall of 2012 and the other in January of this year covered just 6,845 vehicles, but the government agency is considering whether to boost the recall to around 400,000 units.
The existing recalls involve the the closely related 2012 Buick Verano (shown) and Chevrolet Cruze sedans, along with Sonic and Camaro models. The root of the problem is a shorting bar in the inflator module of the steering-wheel-mounted airbag that may contact the primary state airbag terminal, a condition that could prevent deployment in an accident. Dealer technicians have been replacing the steering wheel airbag coils to fix the issue.
According to a post on NHTSA's website, the root cause, said to be a production issue, may not have been completely isolated - particularly for the second recall, which was for the Camaro. According to Automotive News, GM says it is cooperating with the government investigation, but won't say whether or not it knows the true origin of the problem.
NC dealer falsely announces return of Regal Grand National, Regal GNX
Wed, Dec 3 2014Like many new car dealers, Liberty Buick GMC gets so excited about its brands' new wares that it puts out press releases announcing when new models are on the way. That's not typically national news, but the Charlotte, NC store has created a bit of internet hubbub by announcing that it will be "one of the first dealers in the country to offer the Buick Regal GNX," and it's even started to add customers names to a waitlist. Only one problem: Despite seemingly annual rumors and calls for such a model, Buick hasn't announced any Grand National models at all – let alone a GNX – and no such models are actually in the cards. The Liberty Buick press release talks in a nostalgic, venerative tone of the original 1982-1987 GN franchise, and goes on to say: "These returning relics will be based on the highly-acclaimed Alpha vehicle architecture currently used in the Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, and soon to be in the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro. Alpha is the internal name of a General Motors vehicle architecture engineered to underpin compact and mid-size rear-wheel-drive vehicles." In the release, Liberty Buick claimed the GN/GNX models would arrive in late 2015, citing a coupe bodystyle, including a rather fantastical-looking GNX rendering from Bestride.com. Unsurprisingly, none of this is true. Autoblog reached out to Buick for comment about the release, and brand communications manager Nick Richards confirmed that the company had discussed the matter with Liberty Buick representatives. Richards went on to say that the release was wholly incorrect, proclaiming "an agency [for the dealer] picked up a lot of stuff off the internet" and ran with it, including an old Car and Driver story from 2013. The dealership subsequently issued a retraction, with Scott McCorkle, owner of Liberty Buick GMC saying: "We love the idea of the Buick Regal GNX coming back to our showroom but for now, it's only a concept. Bottom-line, the article was incorrect.
