1956 Buick Century Riviera Project on 2040-cars
Oak Hill, West Virginia, United States
1956 Buick Century 4 Door Hardtop Riviera This is a very solid, very straight project car, and should be an easy car to finish. The original 322 Nailhead V8 has been rebuilt, and is a factory 4 barrel engine. This car only has 39,xxx miles, and I have enough documentation to show it's actual mileage. This car has been off the road since 1971. This car has an automatic transmission. Power steering and Power brakes. All of the glass is in good shape. The original colors of this car are Bittersweet and White two-tone exterior, with a blue interior (didn't really match, but the original owner ordered it that way) This car was purchased brand new at Bays Buick, in Beckley WV in 1956. The headliner and dash pad are in great shape. The chrome plated parts will need re-chromed, and the seats, carpet and door panels will need redone as well. All of the stainless for this car is in great shape. As far as I can tell this car is 100% complete and is missing nothing! Plus there are extra parts that go with it. The reserve on this car is very reasonable, and far less than what MOST everyone else would want for this car if they had it! Potential bidders are welcome to come look at the car in person. CLEAN, CLEAR TITLE - IN MY NAME! Any questions, you can call me (Dave) at 304-719-2569 |

GM to offer 2 years free maintance on most 2014 models
Thu, 06 Jun 2013A day after Ford announced it was scaling back the complimentary maintenance program for its Lincoln brand, General Motors has gone in the completely opposite direction, offering most of its 2014 lineup with free maintenance. Since 2011, Cadillac models have all come with a four-year/50,000-mile complimentary maintenance program, but Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles will now come standard with free maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles for the 2014 model year.
The program will give vehicle owners and lessees free oil changes, tire rotations and 27-point inspections following the recommended maintenance schedule laid out in each vehicle's owner's manual. We contacted GM to see which vehicles were eligible for the program, and a spokesperson got back to us with the following comment:
"All 2014 models are eligible, it's just that the included services vary by model, e.g., Spark EV would not need oil changes, Corvettes don't recommend tire rotations."
38k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk
Mon, 06 May 2013General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
According to the automaker, a malfunctioning generator control module could slowly drain the battery, causing an indicator to light up in the dash. If that indicator is ignored, the driver may experience a stalling engine, and in some cases, "a burning or melting odor, smoke, and, in rare instances, a fire in the trunk."
GM says the issue is not with the eAssist battery pack; the smoke and fire comes from overheating of the control board. One trunk fire has been reported, but no injuries are known. Scroll down below for the official press release from GM.
2013 Buick Verano Turbo
Thu, 03 Jan 2013Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.
