1963 Buick Riviera on 2040-cars
Piedmont, Oklahoma, United States
|
Up for grabs is this 1963 Riviera. I have been storing it for a friend for two years and hes ready to sell it. Hes owned it for more than ten years and has only driven it a handful of times. I put a battery in it, a shot of gas, and it fired right up. I'm not certain what size the engine is but he told me its a 401. It says Wildcat 445 on the air cleaner though. The engine is very solid and smoked for awhile until it warmed up. Small exhaust leak under hood. Really needs the full meal deal tune-up and I think it would run really well. The AC does not come on but the compressor is not locked-up. The more Ive driven it, the better it runs. Transmission shifts very well and the brakes stop nicely with no drama. The tires need replaced as they are very old, like bias ply or first gen radials. The interior is decent but needs carpet and woodgrain replaced. Seats need cleaning and steering wheel is intact but faded. Door panels are decent and so is the headliner except for some small spots by the back windshield. Needs front and rear dash. Power windows work but are slow. The rear windows do not roll down. Needs to be repainted but there is no rust through except for small spot by the rear windshield trim (pictured). Small dent on quarter also pictured. If you wanted to spend the time, the paint is good enough to polish and do spot repair. All trim is there minus a couple of trunk letters. In summary, this car, with tires and tune-up, would be a great driver. Thanx for looking and feel free to ask any questions. |

Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.
GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

2016 Buick Cascada convertible isn't afraid of Detroit's snow
Mon, Jan 12 2015It's the great irony of introducing a convertible in Detroit – while the assembled media might look at the car and imagine warm weather and clear skies, the atmosphere outside is anything but. Such was the case Sunday as Buick rolled out the 2016 Cascada in Detroit's Eastern Market. Snow didn't dampen the atmosphere, though, as we clapped eyes on the sleek, Astra-based convertible for the first time. While this is far from the first product Buick has borrowed from General Motors' European operations, unlike previous vehicles, changes for the Cascada were kept to a minimum. There is no waterfall grille or four-way portholes, which Buick was sure to install when converting the Insignia and Mokka to the Regal and Encore. Then again, neither of these styling treatments were really necessary, as the Cascada remains a handsome and stylish offering. Its cabin is typical of other Buicks, and features a few too many buttons on the center stack. Still, a thick-rimmed, flat-bottomed steering wheel, similar to what's found in the Verano, is both attractive and functional, while the perforated leather seats looks quite comfortable, as well. Take a look at our gallery of live images, which includes shots of the Cascada with the top up and down, and then head back to our original post on the new convertible for all the mechanical details.
