1963 Buick Riviera

401 Nailhead

Very solid car that is ready for a new home. I have too many projects and I don't have time for this one. My loss is your gain!!!

This Riviera is currently sporting a fresh coat of flat black enamel . The car was originally white and has blue interior. The interior is not in great shape but it is all there. The front seats have been recovered at some point.

The car starts, runs, and drives down the road nicely. I've only driven up and down the road 10-15 miles at a time but have had no issues. It does have a tick in the top end. It is likely a lifter making this noise, seems this is a very common issue with Nail Heads. It doesn't smoke or use any oil.

Brakes are all new and the master cylinder has been rebuilt.

New rear wheel bearings and the fronts have been packed.

I recently changed all the fluids, and it has new plugs.

Please look closely at all the pictures and you will see this is a very solid car. I've included pictures of the few body panels with issues. There is a small rust spot on the drivers lower quarter panel, smaller than a dime. There are 2 or 3 small rust spots in the floors, but better than almost all cars of this age. There is rust in the hood lip, it has multiple pin holes.

I've tried to point out all of the bad with this car to make sure you know exactly what you are getting, but this is a really nice car that I think anyone looking for solid a project will be completely satisfied with. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, I'd be happy to answer. 217-733-2293 - Bob

The car is for sale locally and I will end the auction early if it sells. Thanks for looking!!

Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.

Buick Envision Plus is a seven-seater tweener developed for China

Tue, Apr 20 2021

Buick has filled the gap separating the Envision and the Enclave with a new crossover named Envision Plus. Launched at the Shanghai auto show, the three-row people-mover is scheduled to go on sale in China later in 2021. The plus-sized Envision stretches 190.7 inches long, 74.1 inches wide, and 66.7 inches tall, figures that make it around eight inches longer and two inches taller than the regular Envision. It's also a full 14 inches shorter, four inches narrower, and three inches lower than the Enclave, which is the biggest crossover in the Buick range. Designers didn't settle for stretching the Envision's wheelbase. They gave the Plus a more upright front end characterized by a taller grille, a flatter and longer roofline, and a redesigned rear end accented by a strip of bright trim that connects the lights. Only photos of the upscale Avenir trim (shown above) have been published so far. Images of the cabin are not available yet. We expect the Plus offers an interior close to the standard Envision's — from the driver's point of view, at least. The biggest difference is that the longer Envision lives up to its name by letting motorists take more gear or kids along for the ride thanks to a more spacious trunk and third-row seats. Power for the Envision Plus comes from a turbocharged, 2.0-liter EcoTec four-cylinder engine fitted with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology. Bolted to a nine-speed automatic transmission, the turbo-four is the same basic engine found in the American-spec Envision, where it develops 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but figures for the Plus weren't released. Front- and all-wheel-drive models will presumably be available. Buick will release pricing information closer to the model's on-sale date. As of writing, the Envision Plus has only been announced for China, where it will be built, but unverified reports claim it will arrive in American showrooms before the end of 2021. We've reached out to the company, and we'll update this story if we learn more. 2021 Buick Verano Pro GS View 5 Photos What else did Buick show in Shanghai? Buick no longer sells sedans in America, but it remains present in that segment on the Chinese market. In addition to the Envision Plus, it unveiled a model named Verano Pro developed specifically for China, built locally, and aimed at relatively young buyers. At launch, motorists will be asked to choose between the regular sedan and a sportier-looking variant that wears the storied GS emblem.
