 Hello,
Up for sale is my father's 1965 Buick Rivera. Possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Most likely this is the rarest of all Rivieras. It is a factory X code car. I didn't know they existed until a few years ago when he purchased this one. It is one of 454 built for 1965. You can  study the internet for 65 Riviera X code information but in short it is a "Sleeper" Riviera. The Riviera Owner's Association has info. on this model. This car has all the GS items from the factory but without the emblems. A former owner found a build paper to verify this is in fact an X code car. The paper is sealed in plastic in the glove box currently. Nobody knows how many of these still exist but I am sure only a handful survived. It's currently in our family's Riviera collection. It has been inside the garage with all others since he purchased it in 2008. The problem now is we have run out of room and some cars must go. Many have sentimental value and this car doesn't so it will be offered for sale. It has been viewed by many people since dad has owned it. Some people consider our Riviera collection one of the best in the south and this car is picked by many on-lookers as their favorite in our garage. It has not been driven much over the last 5 years. Possibly a few hundred miles is all. The car shows a little over 2400 miles, I believe the restoration shop set the odometer back to 0 when they finished the car. The last time it was on the road it drove straight and had no issues. The air conditioning even worked. The car hasn't been moved from the garage this year but is still running and driving in great condition. I haven't tried the air conditioning but if it needs anything it only would be gas since many new components have been installed to insure it would work. The interior is flawless. It looks almost new. Chrome, carpet, seat covers, wood trim, stainless, etc... all look great. This car even has the horn bar in tact on the steering wheel which is very rare. The only issue I would fix and have been meaning to is a small crack in the leading edge of the dash pad. The pad was perfect until an employee of my father's placed his hand on it to brace himself to wash the windshield and pushed too hard. It was not a good day! However, these pads are not too hard to find and easy to install. Everything electrical inside worked when he last drove this car. The pictures show the only item non original and it's the radio. A modern cd player and 2 speakers are neatly installed. It does sound good. The engine was fully rebuilt by the previous owner. He has some bills to verify. Thousands of dollars were spent on this engine and hardly no miles are on it since restoration. The engine is beautiful! Shining paint and new components all over it. Topped off by a huge chrome Super Wildcat breather with all factory carbs underneath it. It even has the original washer glass bottle. Very clean under the hood. The transmission shifts great and appears to be rebuilt. The rear end is a posi and has no issues. All components are original to this car. The attention to detail spent on these cars was amazing. Even the trunk is classy. Everything in it looks showroom new. The paint is pearl white. It's super slick and straight. Thousands of dollars have been spent by a previous owner painting this car. Due to age it does have a few small blemishes but nobody ever notices them. Over all I would give the paint a 9 out of 10. Door jams and around the hood and trunk are flawless. We didn't paint the car but see no signs of rust repair.  I have never had to wash this car. I have only wiped dust from it with a soft rag. It's beautiful. The chrome bumpers are freshly chromed in show chrome. The stainless is all polished. Small pitting on the tail light bezels but not bad. The clamshells and outer chrome rings are nice. They still operate up and down. The grill is nice. The Buick chrome wheels are original and only one has a couple of chips in the chrome but still is nice. The other 3 are super nice. Tires are wide white walls by Firestone and are like new. Exhaust was new when I purchased it and exit below the back bumper. Very nice deep sound. Underside is clean. I could go on and on about this car. Fact is it's a super rare vintage milestone Detroit car. He hates to part with it but the time has come. He has much money in it and bills for thousands spent on it. Hopefully the next owner will be as proud of it as we have been. Open your garage from time to time and let others appreciate it.  A  $1000 deposit must be sent immediately through paypal. Contact me to discuss remainder of payment. I will not arrange shipping but will assist in meeting the truck. Car is located less than one mile from I-26 in Johnson City, TN. Please come look in person. Check my feedback. Thanks for looking!

Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.

Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Judging 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.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
