First off,
don’t bid if you can’t pay. Have your
finances in order. I’m not a dealer or a
bank. Bidders with less than 10
feedback, email me first. This is one
of my father’s cars and he’s got his eyes on another so this one’s got to go. For Sale a 1956
Buick Century Riviera. It’s a 4 door
hard top Series 60. VIN 6C3005072 6=60 Series
C=1956 3=Linden NJ Plant 005072 is the sequence number which puts
manufacture in the fall of 1955. Trim
633=Black Nylon and Black and Red Cordaveen interior Paint
BMB=Castle Grey/Seminole Red/Castle Grey ACC – F S Safety Group and 6 way power seat adjuster Style
56-4639 = Century Riviera Sedan Hardtop Model 56-63
= Century Series 4 door Riviera Hardtop 60 Series. The Buick
Century 60 Series was considered the “Bankers Hot Rod”. It has the original 322 “Nail Head” V8 Road
Master engine (255hp) along with the “Dyna Flow” automatic transmission and
factory dual exhaust through the rear bumper.
It also has power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, wide
white’s, full wheel covers, Sonomatic push button radio and the factory deluxe
lighting package including the truck, under hood and glove box. We’ve owned
this car for about 6 years and have driven it everywhere. Parades, shows, cruises, poker runs…you name
it. It’s solid, reliable and a
consistent trophy winner on a local level.
Fly in…drive it home. 72700 miles
which I believe to be original. A couple of
important points…we bought this car because of the options and originality and
the rarity. After searching Buick web
sites and blogs, talking to other Buick owners in the know, we’ve found that
this car, with these options, color combination and early production make on
one of a handful. I haven’t seen another
one like it. The car has
new wheel cylinders, drums, stainless brake lines. We rebuilt/replaced front end steering
assembly along with power steering hoses and seals. New muffler and tail pipes. Upgraded original radio to AM/FM Bands. New torque converter and a complete
transmission rebuild. We put an
Edlebrock carb in along with a Pertronix ignition upgrade. We have the original carb that goes with the
car along with a plethora of additional OEM and NOS parts that also go. The car runs, shifts and operates without
issue. Doesn’t burn or use any oil.
Never overheats. Frame and body are solid. The car is always garaged. A couple of
items that will need to be addressed, but are not deal breakers or hamper the
car operationally….Speedometer doesn’t work, but the odometer does. The lower left rocker panel has some minor
paint bubbling as well as around the rear window some slight surface rust
exists near the stainless molding. No
holes and no water leaking in. Also the clock and lighter worked, but I think I
blew a fuse. Look at the
pictures…email me any questions you have.
This is a 58 year old car and there are NO warranties expressed or
implied. Shipping is your dime, but I’ll
assist you and your transport any way I can. $1000 due
within 24 hours with the balance due in cash or cashier’s check within 5 days
of auction close. The car is for sale
locally so I reserve the right to pull the auction early.

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.
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Buick Envision crossover to premiere in China
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Buick currently offers two crossovers: the compact Encore and the extra-large Enclave, leaving plenty of room to slot a mid-size crossover in between. And that's just what Buick is planning on doing. In China, anyway.
Previewed in the teaser above, Buick's upcoming new crossover is cloaked and nestled in between its aforementioned stablemates-to-be. Set to be unveiled in China sometime later this year, the model has been confirmed to wear the name Envision - at least in that market. That's the name which the concept version wore three years ago, but we're still waiting on word over whether that name will carry over to the US version or whether we should expect something different like Anthem. But we have to admit that Envision fits better in the brand's crossover naming scheme.
Shanghai GM isn't saying much about the Envision in the press release below, aside from it having "dynamic and assertive styling" backed by all-wheel drive and stop/start ignition. The last time Buick offered a mid-size crossover in North America was with the Pontiac Aztek-based Rendezvous that was discontinued seven years ago.
