1963 Buick Riviera Custom Cruiser Coupe Arizona Rust Free Beauty on 2040-cars
Chandler, Arizona, United States
Up for grabs is my 1963 Buick Riviera. It is a super clean Arizona rust free beauty. The odometer shows 103,500 and I believe that to be accurate after getting thoroughly acquainted with this car. The floor pans, rocker panels, trunk floor is all original and rock solid. The car was repainted in 2000 and still looks great. It isn't showroom perfect by any means, but still looks great. The car was originally white. The wheels are 17x9 Boyd Coddington Venus billet aluminum. The tires are 255/50/17 Nitto NT555 with 750 miles. It will also come with the original wheels and nearly new 225/75/15 whitewalls and hubcaps that are in excellent condition. If you aren't interested in the custom wheels a will work with you on the price. The car sits on 1" lowering springs with new shocks. The front end has polyurethane bushings in the sway bar and front shocks. That made a huge difference. The numbers matching 401 Nailhead runs like a top. Even the choke works. The waterpump is new and so is the radiator. Also the fan clutch and thermostat are as well. Cant be too careful with the cooling system here in AZ. The freeze plugs were done 10 or so years ago. The AC system is complete and looks like it has never been open. It does however blow warm. I guess it should be retrofitted to r134a. The transmission is a Dynaflow and is works smooth and responsive. The differential has new oil as of last week. The brakes are excellent. They operate smooth and evenly. Shoes are at 75% front and 80% rear. All glass is excellent and free from scratches. All gauges work. The interior is very nice and the headliner is near perfect. The radio is new, but it doesn't work. (Fuse?) Many weatherstrip pieces have been replaced. It will come with a large file of receipts, a body service manual, and a chassis service manual specific to the 1963 Buicks. This car gets tons of attention and is an absolute pleasure to drive. I just returned from a 750 mile road trip to Vegas and it worked perfectly. I wouldn't hesitate to jump in and take it back there tomorrow. Feel free to email with any questions., |

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites
Sun, Jan 7 2024Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China
Mon, 03 Mar 2014General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
