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!

A Buick Regal wagon is coming to America

Fri, Mar 17 2017

The signs have all been pointing to the US getting a Buick version of the gorgeous Opel Insignia wagon, and we now have the most concrete evidence yet that the rumors were true. Our spy photographer caught one of the wagons out testing, and it features a number of styling cues that indicate this one is coming to America. The most obvious change is the grille. While the overall shape remains the same, the look of the grille itself is altered. The geometric slats of the Opel- and Holden-badged versions have been exchanged for Buick's trademark waterfall bars. The badge itself is significantly larger, too. Aside from that, a close look reveals subtle changes along the lower edge of the car. The fenders seem to be slightly flared. They're complemented by sideskirts that are rounder and chunkier than that of the normal Insignia wagon. These styling touches also suggest that this Buick variant will take on the psuedo-crossover aesthetic with black plastic body cladding. If this is the case, the Buick Regal wagon could be the high-riding, plastic-clad Regal TourX that's been rumored. We know that General Motors trademarked the TourX name a while back, and Buick wants more crossovers or crossover-esque vehicles since they make up the majority of the brand's sales. It would also be an excellent option to established models such as the Audi A4 Allroad, Volvo V60 Cross Country, and Subaru Outback. Considering the fact that we've seen the Opel Insignia and Holden Commodore revealed already, we expect the Buick versions to be fully revealed sometime this year. Related Video:

Why Buick's Encore wasn't a Chevy

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

Buick is taking a gamble with its 2013 Encore. General Motors' near-luxury brand has enjoyed great success attracting conquest buyers to its larger Enclave crossover, but it has never offered something quite like this small CUV.
Very early signs suggest that the gamble might be working. According to Mark Reuss, President of General Motors, the automaker expected about 1,500 initial orders from its dealers for the Encore, but it's tracking closer to 9,000 units. Alluding to the fact that historically, Buick has shared similar products with GM's other brands, Reuss says that Buick dealers are "thrilled to have an exclusive." The automaker already markets almost identical models in other markets as the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevrolet Trax, but The General's other brands won't offer a twin to the new baby Buick.
The new Encore is based on the Gamma architecture that underpins the Chevrolet Sonic, and it shares the economy car's available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. With standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive, GM says its Encore will be pitted against competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, both of which are much more expensive but also much more powerful.

Third 1987 Buick Regal GNX will be auctioned in January

Mon, Nov 13 2017

A member of the 1987 Buick press fleet is hitting the auction block next year and it's a rarified gem: a low-mileage Regal Grand National GNX, serial No. 003 and one of just 547 models built for that year, and the last of the traditional body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive Grand Nationals. It'll be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in January. The GNX No. 003 was loaned out to publications including Autoweek, Motor Trend and Road & Track, where it racked up around 8,200 miles. "Through it all, a constant sad undertone was the understanding that 1987 was to be the final appearance of the traditional body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive G-body (which also underpinned the best-selling Chevy Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix and Olds Cutlass)," reads a the description published on Barrett-Jackson's website. "A totally redesigned W-body Somerset Regal, with front-wheel drive and unitized body construction, was slated to replace the popular midsize Buick in 1988." So Buick opted to make "a Grand National to end all Grand Nationals" with the '87 GNX, partnering with ASC/McLaren to equip them with wheel lip flares, fender vents, 16-by-8-inch BBS rims and more aggressive tires. It left untouched the Grand National's standard Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection 3.8-liter V6 but added a larger Garrett T-3 turbocharger with a ceramic impeller, a larger intercooler, more aggressive fuel, spark and waste gate tables, and a dual exhaust system that boosted output from 235 horsepower and 330 foot-pounds of torque to 276 hp and 360 lb-ft. That was enough, Barrett-Jackson reports, to make the performance coupe quicker and faster in quarter-mile tests than the Ferrari F40 and Porsche 930 Turbo. After making the test-drive rounds in the automotive media, the car sold in 1988 as a brass hat/company official car to Fischer Buick in Troy, Mich. with approximately 8,200 miles on it. From there, it quickly sold to a local resident who drove it very little, and sold it in the spring of 1989. Since 1992, it has reportedly been kept in climate-controlled storage, totally original, unmodified and undamaged, with just 10,790 miles on the odometer today. It recently underwent a complete mechanical service and cosmetic reconditioning. You can check out the listing on Barrett-Jackson here. The first '87 GNX ever produced resides in the General Motors Heritage Collection and No. 002 is at the Sloan Museum in Flint, Mich. Interestingly, another '87 GNX, No.
