1957 Buick Special Series 40 Riviera Coupe 2 Door Garage Find on 2040-cars
Morristown, Tennessee, United States
INTRO First off I would like to thank you for looking at this classic Buick. My father and I enjoy finding these old cars and tinkering around with them. This is one we hate to let go of. The exterior is in decent shape. I have uploaded some videos on Youtube for a better view of this classic hot rod. I will post some links at the bottom of the page. This auction is for a 1957 Buick Special 40 Riviera. This is no 10000 dollar car by any means(yet). It is very solid besides the normal rust areas. I made sure to post pictures and videos of the entire car. All of the chrome on the car has been rechromed. The bumpers and chrome that goes with this car has gone on ebay for over 2000. So that is why we are starting the bid at 2000. The chrome makes this car look great. If a buyer only wants the chrome contact me. THE ENGINE It has an auto trans. Interior The interior is incomplete to say the least. Everything pictured is what we have to go along with the car along with the original bench seat springs, headliner, and headliner cross bars. As you can also see there are a few spots in the floorboards. Exterior The exterior of the car is pretty much complete to my knowledge. The chrome has been rechromed and shines beautifully. We put the chrome on one side of the car to see what it looked like. There are some dings and some bondo but nothing too bad. Shipping We are located around 10 miles off of interstate 81. The car is ready to roll onto a rollback. Best offer Feel free to call us or save our number if the item is not sold Deposit There is a 200 dollar deposit due within 48 hours of auction end.
For more information feel free to contact me by email or phone. 865-258-1988

**4/27/14** I noticed I used the word us a few times. Meaning my father and I. This was a project that we spent time working together. Now we (i) would like to work on a drifting project. :) |

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
New Buick Verano testing in Germany
Thu, 29 May 2014A refresh to Buick's popular Verano sedan appears to be nigh, thanks to these spy photos that show the tweaked four-door testing in Germany.
As with the current Verano, the refreshed model will have a great deal in common with its European platform-mates, the Vauxhall/Opel Astra. Each car rides on General Motors's Delta II platform. Unlike the current car, though, the refreshed model's styling could lean more heavily towards its European roots, if these photos are any indication.
Despite its commonality with the Astra Sedan, the Verano has featured its own unique styling since arriving in the US back in 2011 as a 2012 model, with distinct fascias at both the front and back, as wells its own headlight and taillight designs. The two cars were still rebadged vehicles, but it was more subtle than it will be in 2015, when the refreshed Verano arrives. Astra-like elements are expected to dominate, particularly in regards to the headlights and taillights. That said, trademark Buick styling features will remain, like the waterfall grille. Really, then, the 2016 Verano won't be unlike the Regal - a rebadged Vauxhall/Opel Insignia, aside from a few very small styling details.
J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
