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.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card
Thu, Feb 16 2023Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot. CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.
2022 Buick Enclave revealed with a handsome new look
Thu, Jan 21 2021Here is the 2022 Buick Enclave! That's all now. Move along. At least, that’s according to Buick, which offered no information beyond these two photos. We know itÂ’s for the 2022 model year, and we know it will go on sale “later this year.” The visual changes are obvious enough on their own. It amounts to what weÂ’d expect a mid-cycle refresh would look like. Buick gave it a totally new front and rear. WeÂ’re most taken by the new look up front, though. That grille gives it the presence it was lacking before, and the horizontal slashes meeting in the middle at the Buick logo are a nice touch. New LED headlights are slimmed way down and tuck in neatly under the hood. Even the lower bumper adds some pizazz with swooping lines and a handsome, verging on sporty, finish. Nothing much changes in the middle, but sharp LED taillights steal the show in back. TheyÂ’re still connected by a central trim piece, but itÂ’s been darkened and massaged to a cleaner look. Buick also looks like it has gone for a concealed exhaust design — it had a visible dual exhaust pipe exit before. The last obvious change is a new set of dark-painted wheels. There are certainly a number of tech updates to be found on the interior, but Buick isnÂ’t talking about (or showing) those yet. WeÂ’ll have to wait for a later date to know every last detail of the refreshed Enclave. For now, the styling changes are a nice change of pace and make it look far more appealing. Related video:
