You are bidding on the 1981 Buick Riviera featured in Eminem's "Headlights" music video. This car was chosen to be in Spike Lee's production of Eminem's music video "Headlights" which was filmed in and around Detroit's Marusso Park. The car is featured in multiple shots in the video, including being shown in the driveway of Eminem's home in the video, as well as being driven through the streets of Detroit; both the exterior and interior of this Riviera appear in the music video. This is the perfect car for both Eminem and Buick fans alike; this car will forever be a part of automotive and music history. I can provide proof that this car is in the upcoming Spike Lee / Eminem Music Video upon request; I cannot publish them here due to a non-disclosure agreement. There is also an article in the Rolling Stone about this music video "Eminem and Spike Lee Teaming Up for "Headlights" Video" published by Miriam Coleman on April 6th of 2014. CONTACT STEVE: (862)-228-4480 This front wheel drive personal luxury car features a smooth running Oldsmobile 307 V8 engine and a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. It has both power steering and power breaks, all which function as if new. You aren't going to have any mechanical problems with this baby, this Riviera starts up right away without hesitation and runs great every time - in fact, the engine is extremely quiet, and the ride of the car smooth and luxurious as well - just as you should expect from a classic Buick. The suspension is soft, and the ride quality unsurpassed. The transmission shifts smoothly and never slips. The engine does not smoke, there are no leaks of any fluids. I promise you will be impressed with the condition and reliability of the power-train. No need for an engine rebuild - just drive this car directly to the car show, or make it your daily driver. The body of the car is in very good condition, originally a North Carolina car, and garage kept, this car does not know the snow and ice of winter, the under-body is rust-free. You will not find any rust holes, rot, or anything of the sort underneath this car. It is my understanding that this car was garage kept, and as you can see from the pictures, it is in great shape for its age. There are no dents or dings anywhere on the car, the chrome is all there and in great condition, there are no chips or scratches on the windshield or any of the other glass windows. Overall the paint is in great shape as well, there is no sun-fading or other discoloration, and the baby-blue exterior paired with the white vinyl top (also in great condition) makes for a fantastic and classic look that turns heads everywhere I go. The Chrome wheels are also in great shape, and the tires are fairly new as well and are not in need of replacement. The breaks work very well, the suspension is in great shape and makes for an extremely smooth ride quality only a Buick can give you. This Riviera also has a self-leveling trunk feature, which automatically adjusts the ride height as weight is added to, or removed from the trunk of the vehicle Inside, the car is nearly perfect, with the only exception being the most common - the headliner is drooping a bit, and has been pinned back up. Everything else is, however, in near perfect shape, no rips, no tears, no stains on any of the seats or other fabric upholstery. The plush blue interior looks and feels like new, the wood-grain dash is also beautiful and in great shape, there are no scratches or cracks or other damage to any of it. The rest of the blue vinyl dash is likewise in great shape, no fading or cracking of any sort. All of the chrome knobs in the interior of the vehicle are there and in great shape. The radio works without problem, and even has the optional auto-reverse cassette player in addition to the AM/FM radio, and all of the speakers work as if new, the sound quality is great, and it even has controls to adjust the levels to the front/back speakers, as well as a trebel/bass control. The car has climate control air-conditioning which also works without hesitation, the heat comes out nice and hot, all of the fans work great. The carpeting in the car is also without flaws, the floors are solid, the door panels are without damage, the steering wheel looks great as well. All of the power options work perfectly. The rear window defroster works great as well. There is a glove box with the original owners manual inside it, and a small storage compartment between the front seats for additional convenience. The car has more ash trays and cigarette lighters than you'll know what to do with, literally one for every passenger - this car, however, has never been smoked in- it smells as clean as it looks. This Riviera also has all of the power options, including 8-way power seats (both driver and passenger sides), power windows, power door-locks, cruise control, rear window defroster, auto-delay windshield wipers, light sentinel, and even cornering lights. Inside the trunk you will find a spare tire and the jack. Also included are the original floor mats (both front and rear). All in all, you are bidding on a 1981 Buick Riviera personal luxury coupe with real V8 power, and front wheel drive that can handle winter driving conditions if you need to. Overall, this car is in great condition, the only flaws are the headliner- as described above- and a couple tiny spots around the base of the vinyl roof where there is a small amount of surface rust - but it is very minor as you can see from the pictures. The car is complete (not missing any parts) and always given regular oil changes and maintenance. You will not find a better 81 Riviera at this price. The car is located on Harsens Island in Michigan, feel free to come see and drive it for yourself before bidding if you wish. You can contact me at (862)-228-4480, call or text me anytime, my name is Steve, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the car, or to provide you with more photographs or information at your request. I am happy to sell Internationally, and am located a very short distance from Port Huron from which the car could be shipped anywhere in the world. I would also be happy to personally deliver the vehicle to you for the cost of gas, as I have complete confidence that this car could be driven across the country if you wanted to.

I AM WILLING TO ACCEPT CASH, CASHIER'S CHECK, PERSONAL CHECKS (once cleared), AS PAYMENT, BUT I DO NOT ACCEPT PAY-PAL AS THERE ARE TO MANY INTERNET SCAMS OPERATING THROUGH IT - DON'T EVEN ASK ME - other than that, I am very accommodating, and am willing to work with you to help and assist you in any way I can - just call me and we can work something out.

Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries
Tue, Apr 24 2018Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce
Trump prods General Motors over its auto plants in China
Sat, Aug 31 2019WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump, who is engaged in a trade war with Beijing, said on Friday that the largest U.S. automaker, General Motors, should begin moving its operations back to the United States. "General Motors, which was once the Giant of Detroit, is now one of the smallest auto manufacturers there. They moved major plants to China, BEFORE I CAME INTO OFFICE. This was done despite the saving help given them by the USA. Now they should start moving back to America again?" Trump said in a post on Twitter. Trump appeared to be referring to a Bloomberg News story that reported GM's hourly workforce of 46,000 U.S. workers has fallen behind that of Fiat Chrysler as the smallest of the Detroit Three automakers. Over the past four decades, GM has dramatically cut the size of its overall U.S. workforce, which numbered nearly 620,000 in 1979. GM did not directly comment on Trump's tweet. "GMÂ’s China operations are not a threat to U.S. jobs," the company said in a fact sheet, noting that its joint ventures have sent $16 billion in equity income to GM since 2010 and that it has invested $23 billion in U.S. operations since 2009. GM's U.S. hourly workforce has fallen by about 4,000 jobs since the end of 2018 to about where it was a decade ago. Trump's ire with GM comes as contract talks with the United Auto Workers union with the Detroit Three automakers intensify ahead of a Sept. 14 deadline. Trump has previously attacked GM for building vehicles in Mexico and for ending production at plants in Michigan, Ohio and Maryland and threatened to cut GM subsidies in retaliation. GM's decision to close four plants in the United States is a central issue in the contract talks. Trump has made boosting auto jobs a key priority and has often attacked automakers on Twitter for not doing enough to boost U.S. employment. His 2020 re-election bid will hinge on holding key industrial battleground states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan that narrowly voted for him in 2016. China is the worldÂ’s largest auto market, and government policy favors automakers assembling vehicles there, and not importing them from overseas. In response to TrumpÂ’s latest tariffs, China said last week it will reinstitute 25% tariffs on U.S.-made vehicles. The U.S. is imposing 15% tariffs on more than $125 billion in Chinese goods starting Sunday. GM sold 3.6 million vehicles in China last year accounting for 43% of its worldwide sales.
Avista concept shows Buick's performance potential [w/video]
Mon, Jan 11 2016With names like Wildcat and Riviera in its past, Buick knows how to make a good-looking performance machine. It's just been awhile. But the Avista concept revealed Sunday night ahead of the Detroit Auto Show suggests Buick's sporting heritage might be more than relegated to grainy photos. The Avista is a 2+2 sports coupe running a twin-turbocharged V6 cranking out 400 horsepower through the rear wheels. Look familiar? It should, as it reprises many of the design cues from Buick's last show-stealer, the Avenir, which debuted a year ago in Detroit. "The Avista embodies the dynamic soul of Buick," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of global Buick sales, service, and marketing. "It is a modern expression of the brand's heritage of sophisticated performance, communicated with beautiful elegance." The front end features a prominent grille with Buick's newly colored tr-shield as the centerpiece. It's flanked by wings that stretch out horizontally and edgy headlights that portend the appearance of future Buicks. There's an aggressive fascia, chrome-trimmed vents, and it all rolls on 20-inch wheels. The Avista has a 110.7-inch wheelbase (which is the same as the Chevy Camaro), and the tracks measure 63 inches in front and 62.9 inches in back, which Buick says makes for a sporty stance. The B-pillarless cabin conjures the open layout of great boulevard cruisers of days gone by. It's done up in gray leather punctuated with carbon-fiber and aluminum accents. Yep, Buick does know how to do performance. In case you forgot, the Avista is a strong reminder of the past, and it offers hope for the brand's future. Watch the live unveiling in the video below. Buick Introduces Avista Concept Design elegance, performance heritage conveyed in turbocharged 2+2 coupe DETROIT – Ahead of its public debut at the North American International Auto Show, Buick today revealed the Avista concept – a 2+2 coupe that pushes the brand's contemporary design ethos and rekindles its historic performance roots. A sleek, sweeping proportion is the foundation for this vision of a contemporary grand tourer, with a 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged V-6 driving the rear wheels and a driver-focused cockpit offering a comfortable, connected center of control. "The Avista embodies the dynamic soul of Buick," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick Sales, Service and Marketing.
