Templeton, California, United States

For sale is my 1957 Buick Super Series 56 - R (Riviera) 2 door hardtop

This car was bought out of a barn in the mid west about 2 years ago. It ran the winter before it was parked, missing a battery now. Has original motor and trans and all original interior. the teal and white is the original paint. The body is overall very good with several small rust spots. the surface rust is where paint has been sanded. it has one spot that is sanded and has bondo applied in the driver rear quarter. other then that there doesnt seem to be any bondo, the worst of the rust is in the rear bumper corner, its rotted through on the passenger side but the driver side still appears to be pretty good. I paid someone to rebuild the starter for me, so that should be good. The back tire is flat in the photo but i have a newer tire on there now. The glass is all good, i dont have a crank on the driver door, the seats need re-upholstery. the headliner looks alright too. The trim is mostly all there except on the replacement door and the rear taillight cover on the driver side. These cars are the most rare of this model with these options for 1957 with an exception to the convertible. I have a clear and clean out of state title in hand with the original keys, and no back fees. Its got some parts in the trunk as well, i haven't looked through it but i was told its what you dont see on the body. Its a project, its not just a come out and drive it home. But it is a rare car and a neat old big 2 door hardtop with fins. These care make killer customs, or lowriders. ive seen them as bombs or even as street rods i guess with all the billet and airbags. 

Please dont offer me trades or try tell me how much its going to take you to fix it up. this isnt my first rodeo so youre wasting your time. the car is what it is, and it costs what it costs. if youre not into building a classic car then this isnt for you, i suggest you go buy a PT Cruiser and leave something like this to a person who wants to spend the money or the elbow grease to get it nice. 

All auctions are of course, sold as is where is, no warranty implied. 

I will help hold the car for a while as well so you can arrange a shipper at no added fee as long as we discuss the terms before hand.

GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:

Nissan Sentra, Buick LaCrosse to headline LA Auto Show

Wed, Oct 21 2015

We're less than a month away from the start of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and automakers have been lining up their debuts for the upcoming left-coast expo. The latest announcement comes from the show's organizers who are eager to tout the global debuts slated for next month. Chief among them will be new versions of the Buick LaCrosse and Nissan Sentra. So far all we've seen of the 2017 LaCrosse is a glimpse at the front grille, but it's already promising to bring elements of the Avenir concept to the street. The original LaCrosse was launched in 2004 and was replaced in 2010 with the current model. The Sentra nameplate has been around much longer, but the current model was launched more recently in 2013. The new version spied recently while undergoing testing is promised to be a substantial update on that model, not a complete replacement, bringing it up to speed with the latest equipment and revised styling. This represents the first official confirmation we've received of when Nissan will be unveiling the new Sentra. Mitsubishi will also be on hand with its new Outlander Sport, as well as the redesigned Mirage. They'll be joined as well by new versions of a couple of high-end models that promise to resonate with the local crowds in tinseltown. Land Rover has chosen the LA show as a suitable venue to unveil the production Range Rover Evoque Convertible that will drop the top on one of the most stylish luxury crossovers on the market. And Porsche, as we know, is gearing up to hit the track with the new Cayman GT4 Clubsport - a customer racing version of the company's little two-seat, mid-engined sports car that's been lightly modified for motorsport competition. Of course these won't be the only new metal on display at the Californian auto expo. They'll be joined as well by the likes of the new Infiniti QX30, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Sportage, and Jaguar F-Pace - many of which we've already seen. Meanwhile companies like Fiat, Ford, Mazda, Mercedes, Subaru, Volvo, Volkswagen, and Elio Motors are keeping their plans under wraps for the time being. But with mere weeks to go, it won't be long before we see what they've got in store as well.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even 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.
