Up for sale is a ONE OWNER 1971 Buick Riviera Sports Coupe!  It needs work.  It will run. It has 134,xxx miles.  The driver's door is ajar but does close incorrectly.  Gas line problems prevent the engine from running consistantly but it will fire up when gas is poured into the 4 bbl carburator on the 455 cid engine.  It has set for the past 20 plus years and not been regularly driven.  It has the expected rust on the body and inside of the trunk on both sides of the floorboards.  I did not completely close the hood because I do not know if the linkage from the interior will function properly and who needs one extra problem when selling a car!   There is no battery (I used my trailer battery to start it the other day).

Ok, now that I exposed the bad points of the car, I will detail the good points.  The chrome is in great condition, not dented up.  The trim pieces are in great condition!  The interior is in great condition.  The Buick Riviera rally wheels are decent with some surface rust.  The car's power seat and windows appear to be working correctly.  The tires are old but hold air.  The rear window is in great condition.  The front window has a minute chip that can be filled.  In total, it is an old car that has a lot of potential either as a restoration or as a parts car.

I can be reached at 734-516-9166 if you have any other questions or want to arrange a meeting to inspect the car.  It will be advertised in other publications in print and on the web so it just might disappear at any time.  I have the original title and stamped metal "vehicle card" along with decades of maintenance history.  It cost $5,373.00 new when purchased on Oct 2, 1971, from the Frank McNally Buick dealership in Flushing (Flint) Michigan.  It is located in Grand Blanc, Michigan (Flint area).

I do have the means to deliver in an enclosed Car Hauler and will work with you on the cost to deliver it.  However, payment is required in advance if I am contracted to make the delivery.

Buick prepares Super Bowl ad blitz to introduce Cascada

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Super Bowl 50 will kick off on February 7, and Buick will use the big game's massive audience to get the word out about the new Cascada convertible. The the broadcast spot will be paired with a humorous digital campaign to advertise the convertible online. Buick hasn't released the 30-second Super Bowl commercial yet, but a teaser image shows that it stars New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. and actress Emily Ratajkowski, known for roles in the films Gone Girl and Entourage. The ad is part of the "Experience the New Buick" campaign, which aims to position the brand to appeal to a younger demographic. The brand also has Ellie Kemper, the star of Netflix's hilarious Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Erin on The Office, to sell the Cascada, Regal, Encore, and Enclave in a new online campaign. She plays an exaggerated version of herself and flirts with a guy who thinks Kemper owns Buick's new convertible. The spot tries to capitalize on the quirky charm of the actor's Kimmy Schmidt character. Buick will cut the longer clip (below) into vignettes for ads on sites like YouTube. Buick spokesperson Crystal Wilson told Autoblog that viewers' reactions to Kemper's commercial have been "totally positive" so far. First-Ever Buick Super Bowl Ad Features Odell Beckham Jr. and Emily Ratajkowski Latest "Experience the New Buick" ad spotlights new Cascada convertible 2016-01-26 DETROIT – Buick's first-ever Super Bowl ad will bring the brand's award-winning "Experience the New Buick" campaign to the biggest night in TV advertising. The campaign launched in 2014 and challenges consumers' false perceptions of the brand. The 30-second spot, scheduled to air during Super Bowl 50, features Buick's all-new Cascada luxury convertible and stars New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and actress/model Emily Ratajkowski. The spot will be the first new Buick commercial to air in 2016, a year where the brand will launch three new products. The Cascada, Buick's first convertible in 25 years, arrives in dealerships in the coming weeks. It features an athletic and sculptural beauty that delivers a distinctive profile, whether the top is up or down. Along with the perception-shifting Cascada, Buick showrooms will soon feature a redesigned LaCrosse sedan and the new Envision, a compact crossover. Both go on sale this summer.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Buick Century Woodie station wagon

Mon, Oct 9 2017

The Detroit station wagon with fake-wood exterior paneling had a good long postwar run, but minivans and — increasingly — sport utility vehicles were giving such wagons quite a beating in the showrooms by 1992. Buick was down to just two woodies by 1992; here's a discarded example of the front-wheel-drive Century, spotted in a Northern California self-service yard. Buick sold big rear-wheel-drive Roadmaster wagons with Simu-Wood™ siding through the 1996 model year, but the smaller Century was fairly plush. American car shoppers didn't insist on real-looking "wood" on their wagons, although Chrysler went much more three-dimensional with their plastic wood that did GM during this era. This one has the 3.3-liter Buick V6 engine, rated at 160 horsepower. This is not to be confused with the unrelated GM 60° V6, which was available in earlier and later Centuries. If only these seats could talk, they'd tell many tales of sibling battles and spilled fast food. Related Video:

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
