You are bidding on the 1981 Buick Riviera featured in Eminem's "Headlights" music video. This car was chosen to be in Spike Lee's production of Eminem's music video "Headlights" which was filmed in and around Detroit's Marusso Park. The car is featured in multiple shots in the video, including being shown in the driveway of Eminem's home in the video, as well as being driven through the streets of Detroit; both the exterior and interior of this Riviera appear in the music video. This is the perfect car for both Eminem and Buick fans alike; this car will forever be a part of automotive and music history. I can provide proof that this car is in the upcoming Spike Lee / Eminem Music Video upon request; I cannot publish them here due to a non-disclosure agreement. There is also an article in the Rolling Stone about this music video "Eminem and Spike Lee Teaming Up for "Headlights" Video" published by Miriam Coleman on April 6th of 2014. CONTACT STEVE: (862)-228-4480 This front wheel drive personal luxury car features a smooth running Oldsmobile 307 V8 engine and a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. It has both power steering and power breaks, all which function as if new. You aren't going to have any mechanical problems with this baby, this Riviera starts up right away without hesitation and runs great every time - in fact, the engine is extremely quiet, and the ride of the car smooth and luxurious as well - just as you should expect from a classic Buick. The suspension is soft, and the ride quality unsurpassed. The transmission shifts smoothly and never slips. The engine does not smoke, there are no leaks of any fluids. I promise you will be impressed with the condition and reliability of the power-train. No need for an engine rebuild - just drive this car directly to the car show, or make it your daily driver. The body of the car is in very good condition, originally a North Carolina car, and garage kept, this car does not know the snow and ice of winter, the under-body is rust-free. You will not find any rust holes, rot, or anything of the sort underneath this car. It is my understanding that this car was garage kept, and as you can see from the pictures, it is in great shape for its age. There are no dents or dings anywhere on the car, the chrome is all there and in great condition, there are no chips or scratches on the windshield or any of the other glass windows. Overall the paint is in great shape as well, there is no sun-fading or other discoloration, and the baby-blue exterior paired with the white vinyl top (also in great condition) makes for a fantastic and classic look that turns heads everywhere I go. The Chrome wheels are also in great shape, and the tires are fairly new as well and are not in need of replacement. The breaks work very well, the suspension is in great shape and makes for an extremely smooth ride quality only a Buick can give you. This Riviera also has a self-leveling trunk feature, which automatically adjusts the ride height as weight is added to, or removed from the trunk of the vehicle Inside, the car is nearly perfect, with the only exception being the most common - the headliner is drooping a bit, and has been pinned back up. Everything else is, however, in near perfect shape, no rips, no tears, no stains on any of the seats or other fabric upholstery. The plush blue interior looks and feels like new, the wood-grain dash is also beautiful and in great shape, there are no scratches or cracks or other damage to any of it. The rest of the blue vinyl dash is likewise in great shape, no fading or cracking of any sort. All of the chrome knobs in the interior of the vehicle are there and in great shape. The radio works without problem, and even has the optional auto-reverse cassette player in addition to the AM/FM radio, and all of the speakers work as if new, the sound quality is great, and it even has controls to adjust the levels to the front/back speakers, as well as a trebel/bass control. The car has climate control air-conditioning which also works without hesitation, the heat comes out nice and hot, all of the fans work great. The carpeting in the car is also without flaws, the floors are solid, the door panels are without damage, the steering wheel looks great as well. All of the power options work perfectly. The rear window defroster works great as well. There is a glove box with the original owners manual inside it, and a small storage compartment between the front seats for additional convenience. The car has more ash trays and cigarette lighters than you'll know what to do with, literally one for every passenger - this car, however, has never been smoked in- it smells as clean as it looks. This Riviera also has all of the power options, including 8-way power seats (both driver and passenger sides), power windows, power door-locks, cruise control, rear window defroster, auto-delay windshield wipers, light sentinel, and even cornering lights. Inside the trunk you will find a spare tire and the jack. Also included are the original floor mats (both front and rear). All in all, you are bidding on a 1981 Buick Riviera personal luxury coupe with real V8 power, and front wheel drive that can handle winter driving conditions if you need to. Overall, this car is in great condition, the only flaws are the headliner- as described above- and a couple tiny spots around the base of the vinyl roof where there is a small amount of surface rust - but it is very minor as you can see from the pictures. The car is complete (not missing any parts) and always given regular oil changes and maintenance. You will not find a better 81 Riviera at this price.

2013 Buick Encore
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.
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.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
