1972 BUICK RIVERIA 455 FLOOR SHIFT


When it comes to the large cars of the 70’s,  I think the Buick Riveria Boat Tail is about the top of the list of beauty.  Up for auction is this fabulous 1972 Buick Riveria 455, with rare bucket seat with console and factory floor shift.


The car still sports its original color which is awesome looking and original interior, which is in near mint condition.  The car offers its original 455 V8 with a four barrel carburetor.  The motor has a mild cam and Flow Master exhaust.  Super smooth exceleration and tremendous power.


The car offers, cold Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes,  Power Drivers Seat, Remote mirror, Original working in dash 8 Track Player,  Speed Alert, and Power Windows.  


The exterior body is very nice.  The car had a vinyl top originally, and the repaint of the top and body work is just fair.  I would one day redo that.   The rear trunk lid could use a repaint.  The paint there has reacted to something.


The interior is super fine.  Driving this work of art and looking over the stretched hood is a real treat.  The car comes with a 8 Track of Saturday Night Fever, and it’s so fun cruising with it playing.

The car has a aftermarket FM/AM CD player with remote control mounted under dash.  The past owner had 22’ wheels and tires mounted on the car.  At first I didn’t like them, but must admit they grew on me.


The rear bumper has a small dent in the passenger side.  And the switch to the AC/Heat blower motor is on the blink.  It works sometimes, and sometime it doesn't.   


The original dash...has NO cracks and looks amazing.  The center console and NO cracks or damage.  The seats one a scale of one to ten, ten being new, fall at a strong 8.  


This is a fly in and drive home car.  You will love what our family calls the Dream Machine.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.

Buick to use Velite name for its Cascada?

Mon, Dec 1 2014

Ever since Opel brought out the Cascada convertible last year, rumors have been flying that Buick would offer it Stateside – much like it does with the Insignia-based Regal and the Astra-based Verano. And now we might have our best clue yet as to what Buick might call it. According to GM Authority, General Motors has filed to use the name Velite on a new model. The name first appeared on a convertible concept unveiled over a decade ago at the 2004 New York Auto Show (pictured above), but GM reportedly opened an application to trademark the nameplate for production in 2011, seeking extensions on its application every six months since. Of course the fact that it's applied for its fifth extension (of a permissible six) doesn't necessarily mean that GM will ultimately bring the cabriolet to US showrooms, or that it will use the Velite name if it does, but the fact that GM is keeping the name alive could be a good sign. The market for relaxed four-seat convertibles has been shrinking, leaving it up to drop-top muscle cars like the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang. But with entries like the Toyota Camry Solara, Volkswagen Eos and Chrysler 200 Convertible having dropped off the market, the Buick Velite (or Cascada, or whatever it's ultimately called) could have the sedate cabriolet segment all to itself – even if (or especially if) Lexus dealers aren't interested in touching it.
