This is my beautiful 1963 Buick Riviera that I have owned for about 2 years. I bought this car in New Hampshire and brought it over here last fall. To my knowledge I am only the 4th owner of this car since it was bought new in 63'. I believe the story is that the car was passed down from father to son in the same family, until the last owner needed to sell it because he needed the money. That's where I came in. When I got the car it was in great, running condition, and it still had the original white wall tires on it. The garage I bought it from also did a fair amount of work to it to make it drive as amazingly as it does now. This car is completely original except for the new tires and a Borla side pipe exhaust system that I had installed professionally last summer. I have taken very good care of this car. The last 2 winters since I have owned the car it has been in a temperature controlled garage, and during the summer I cleaned the whole car inside and out every week or so. Before I go into any more detail about the condition, please look at the pictures I supplied, and feel free to ask for more if you want them. The paint is in great condition for being original. The color looks as it did 50 years ago, and it is a great color to begin with. There are a few imperfections in it that can be seen in the pictures, but overall the paint looks fantastic. The engine (401 Nailhead V8), transmission, and suspension all work 100% correctly and it drives amazingly. The interior also looks amazing for its age. The seats are in great condition, the dashboard is perfect, and all the chrome knobs and buttons are still there. The original AM radio currently does not work although there is a new Sony radio, with a new chrome antenna installed in the glove box. I also replaced the original 6x9 speaker between the rear seats with a new one. The carpet looks great in the front and under the front seats, but it needs a little attention underneath the rear floor mats. The floors are in great condition and there are no holes to be found anywhere. The underside of the car has some surface rust, but the car is solid and feels great. There are some small rust spots on the exterior of the car but a little TLC should make it look great. The car has only 90,000 original miles and it feels like it. Honestly this car drives better than most of the new cars I have driven. This was strictly a good weather car, and to my knowledge it has never touched snow or salt. I really love this car, and I'm fine with keeping it if I do not get a good enough offer on it. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have, and thank you so much for taking a look at my Buick. Thanks!

MotorWeek remembers the nearly forgotten Buick Reatta

Thu, Feb 18 2016

The Reatta was Buick's failed experiment to take on European competitors with its own two-seat luxury coupe and convertible. The model only lasted a few years, and US customers didn't see another droptop from the brand until the Cascada. The latest MotorWeek Retro Review takes a look back at the short-lived roadster and remembers it quite fondly. Host John Davis calls the 1990 Reatta droptop "one of the best looking convertibles ever." His sentiment seems a little hyperbolic, but the roadster is definitely an attractive machine by the standards of the time. The smooth front end and pop-up headlights are reminiscent of Japanese sports cars of era, and the profile with the top down is elegant. There are weaknesses, though. The manual roof mechanism appears cumbersome to operate, and the crude digital instruments, which simulate physical dials, make the cabin look too dated. Other than a complaint about over-boosted power steering, MotorWeek enjoys how the Reatta drives, too. Buick's roadster is largely forgotten today, but such glowing praise suggests it deserves to be better remembered. Check out this Retro Review to look back on this interesting experiment from the early '90s. Related Video:

Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries

Tue, Apr 24 2018

Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak

Thu, Apr 16 2015

Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.
