1953 Buick Super Riviera 4 Door Sedan on 2040-cars
Oswego, Illinois, United States
Listing for a friend that has some medical issues and has decide to sell his baby. Here is an email I received from him:
"Bruce, 58,000 miles box stock original. Tires new. Car flushed and radiator
cleaned and resoldered by the master- plus all hoses and under seat radiator
properly gone through, all new brakes, arced and cylinders new. Lines dry from
Arizona and no problem . Original spare, wedge block, jack and owners manual.
Factory desert tint Arizona issue glass. No metal issues anywhere, period. Even
dog leg rear door at wheel arch perfect. NEVER SALT OR SNOW, EVER, OR GOD WILL
STRIKE ME DEAD....... LEFT ORIGINAL PAINT
ON DOOR POSTS, REST OF CAR WENT TO BARE METAL....EXHAUST NEW. Car is a 1953 Super
Riviera 4 door sedan ( like the regular super only wheelbase as in Roadmaster, 1st year 322 nailhead and 12 volt. Possibilities are endless for this time
capsule ride! Even has dealer tag on "new" day nite mirror on how to use "anti
dazzle feature" un-torn after 60 years! Interior is original and is tired but
complete and looks good as is but would blow your mind with a simple carpet and
seat job. Headliner is perfect! Rebuilt fuel/vacuum pump." I personally know this car and I'm the only one who has driven this in years and only occaisionally to keep it fresh. A couple of cruise nights, my sons wedding, and just to drive it around from time to time. I did a complete tune up, oil change and added a brand new battery just about a month ago. This car is garage kept and NEVER driven in winter. There is ABSOLUTELY no rust anywhere on this car, look at the pictures of trunk and spare tire well.. There are more pictures if needed. This can be driven anywhwere with no concerns, heat works, runs cools, starts, stops, steers fine. If you were to restore, everything is there, no hard to find parts to look for, or drive AS IS! Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
Opel Cascada is Europe's Buick convertible [w/video]
Wed, 17 Oct 2012As we reported earlier, there has been much speculation regarding a Buick convertible of sorts. The most ringing endorsement of this conjecture comes today from General Motors Europe, as the new Opel Cascada has debuted on the interwebs. Opel calls the four-passenger Cascada an "athletic, glamorous midsize convertible." With a length of 4,697mm (185 in.), the Cascada is as long as an Audi A5, to which GM has said it would be slightly larger.
The Cascada, which is Spanish for waterfall, features a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
According to GM, the Cascada will also come rife with luxury and tech features. In addition to adaptive forward lighting and ergonomic heated front seats, the convertible will feature Opel Eye, which is a front camera that can recognize traffic signs and incorporates lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
