Here you have probably the nicest original low mileage Riviera Convertible you will ever see for sale. The car was purchased new on 9/23/1982 and always garaged originally at his home in Kingwood ,Texas and later at his Reno ,Nevada home. Please note the underside pictures-absolutely zero rust. It is all original with no accidents and a clean Carfax Report. It was owned by one mature and careful owner until 8/19/2013 when it was sold to a Classic Car Dealer in Southern California where I purchased the car about one month ago. I'm 71 yrs old and bought the car because it was so nice and I thought my wife would love it. Well she doesn't and since I don't go anywhere without her there is no sense in keeping it. I have over $20,000 invested but will take less for a quick sale. If it doesn't sell I will just keep it until next summer and relist or sell locally.
These Riviera Convertibles are very desirable and increasingly collectible particularly in this condition with extremely low miles. A total of only 3898 were produced from 1982 thru 1985 and only about 30% were Firemist Red while the rest were White which adds to the rarity of this car. The 1982 models are considered most collectible because it was the only year they had the hand sewn " Moroccan Leather " interior in Maple reminiscent of convertbles of the past. The later models used the standard factory interior that was also used in the coupe's.
This car starts , runs and drives like new. I don't believe you will find a finer example and with only 17,250 miles from new its about as new as you will ever find in a 32 yr old car. The tires , belts and all hoses were replaced about 2000 miles ago so the car can be driven any distance reliably. I welcome your personal inspections prior to bidding. Thanks and good luck.

2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores
Wed, 05 Jun 2013After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.
Next Buick Regal to inherit styling cues from Opel Monza concept
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Ever look at a concept car from a foreign auto marque like Opel and wonder what relevance it will have to you as an American consumer? Well, we'll tell you: at least as far as the Opel Monza concept goes, it could mean a lot.
Speaking with Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, Opel chief Karl-Thomas Neumann said, "You will see the Monza when you see the next Insignia." And the Insignia, we needn't point out, is essentially ported over to American showrooms as the Buick Regal.
The relationship between the Regal and Insignia only stands to grow closer as Opel design chief Mark Adams has also been charged with tightening the bonds between the two automakers positioned on opposite shores of the Atlantic. Adams also intends to imbue the next Insignia with more "premium brand values" in order to "add polish to the brand." Which in turn means that the Regal will be designed to look more upscale, too.
2013 Buick Encore
Mon, 10 Dec 2012City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.
