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

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.

How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
Buick unveils new Verano hatchback in Guangzhou
Mon, Nov 23 2015This is a Buick Verano. We know, it doesn't look like a Verano – or at least not the version we get here. In fact it looks more like the new Opel Astra with a Buick grille. Which makes sense, because that's pretty much what it is. The vehicle you're looking at is the new Buick Verano Hatchback, unveiled just days ago at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China – arguably the only market that matters as much to the brand as the United States. Like the sedan revealed this past April in Shanghai, the hatchback is a newer model than the US-market version, based on the new Opel Astra, but with that signature waterfall grille. Otherwise, it looks virtually identical to the version sold as an Opel in Europe and a Vauxhall in the UK. Buick will be offering two versions of the Verano hatch in China. The base model pairs a 1.5-liter inline four good for 117 horsepower and 108 pound-feet of torque to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The sportier Verano GS packs a more potent version of the same engine, rated at 166 hp and 184 pound-feet and paired to a seven-speed DSG. That's enough to propel it to 62 in 8.8 seconds, but displacing less than 1.6 liters, both versions come in under the Chinese tax threshold so they're taxed 50-percent less. Between the Verano and Astra, we've now seen this new model in three different body-styles being sold in markets around the world. The sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons seem to be proliferating like so many jackrabbits, but keep hopping away just out of reach. So here's hoping that the next leap it takes will be to US showrooms. Related Video: Buick Launches Verano Hatchback and Verano GS Priced from RMB 145,900 to RMB 205,900 2015-11-18 Guangzhou – Buick launched the new Verano Hatchback and Verano GS this evening in Guangzhou, China. The five variants of the two newest members of the Verano family are priced from RMB 145,900 to RMB 205,900. Buick's 740 dealerships across China have begun accepting pre-orders. The new Verano models have trendy, sporty styling along with European car-like handling, premium interiors and advanced technology. They are targeted at younger trend-setting consumers who are looking for a driving experience that is "born with sportiness." Stylish and sporty exterior The Verano Hatchback and Verano GS have adopted Buick's latest design language for sport sedans. The brand's signature waterfall grille has taken on a creative frameless design, with a newly added piano black finish.
GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.
