1953 Buick Super Riviera 4 Door Sedan on 2040-cars
Oswego, Illinois, United States
Listing for a friend that has some medical issues and has decide to sell his baby. Here is an email I received from him:
"Bruce, 58,000 miles box stock original. Tires new. Car flushed and radiator
cleaned and resoldered by the master- plus all hoses and under seat radiator
properly gone through, all new brakes, arced and cylinders new. Lines dry from
Arizona and no problem . Original spare, wedge block, jack and owners manual.
Factory desert tint Arizona issue glass. No metal issues anywhere, period. Even
dog leg rear door at wheel arch perfect. NEVER SALT OR SNOW, EVER, OR GOD WILL
STRIKE ME DEAD....... LEFT ORIGINAL PAINT
ON DOOR POSTS, REST OF CAR WENT TO BARE METAL....EXHAUST NEW. Car is a 1953 Super
Riviera 4 door sedan ( like the regular super only wheelbase as in Roadmaster, 1st year 322 nailhead and 12 volt. Possibilities are endless for this time
capsule ride! Even has dealer tag on "new" day nite mirror on how to use "anti
dazzle feature" un-torn after 60 years! Interior is original and is tired but
complete and looks good as is but would blow your mind with a simple carpet and
seat job. Headliner is perfect! Rebuilt fuel/vacuum pump." I personally know this car and I'm the only one who has driven this in years and only occaisionally to keep it fresh. A couple of cruise nights, my sons wedding, and just to drive it around from time to time. I did a complete tune up, oil change and added a brand new battery just about a month ago. This car is garage kept and NEVER driven in winter. There is ABSOLUTELY no rust anywhere on this car, look at the pictures of trunk and spare tire well.. There are more pictures if needed. This can be driven anywhwere with no concerns, heat works, runs cools, starts, stops, steers fine. If you were to restore, everything is there, no hard to find parts to look for, or drive AS IS! Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

New Buick Verano testing in Germany
Thu, 29 May 2014A refresh to Buick's popular Verano sedan appears to be nigh, thanks to these spy photos that show the tweaked four-door testing in Germany.
As with the current Verano, the refreshed model will have a great deal in common with its European platform-mates, the Vauxhall/Opel Astra. Each car rides on General Motors's Delta II platform. Unlike the current car, though, the refreshed model's styling could lean more heavily towards its European roots, if these photos are any indication.
Despite its commonality with the Astra Sedan, the Verano has featured its own unique styling since arriving in the US back in 2011 as a 2012 model, with distinct fascias at both the front and back, as wells its own headlight and taillight designs. The two cars were still rebadged vehicles, but it was more subtle than it will be in 2015, when the refreshed Verano arrives. Astra-like elements are expected to dominate, particularly in regards to the headlights and taillights. That said, trademark Buick styling features will remain, like the waterfall grille. Really, then, the 2016 Verano won't be unlike the Regal - a rebadged Vauxhall/Opel Insignia, aside from a few very small styling details.
Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?
Sat, 22 Dec 2012If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill.
If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque - useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft. More importantly, the downsized engine would likely improve on the Verano's current fuel mileage estimates of 21 city and 31 highway.
We like the Verano in both of its current iterations, but the 1.6 turbo engine sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if this reports turns out to be true. Plus, if more performance is your bag, baby, there's always the Verano's optional 2.0 turbo engine with an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft from just 2.0 liters of displacement.
38k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk
Mon, 06 May 2013General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
According to the automaker, a malfunctioning generator control module could slowly drain the battery, causing an indicator to light up in the dash. If that indicator is ignored, the driver may experience a stalling engine, and in some cases, "a burning or melting odor, smoke, and, in rare instances, a fire in the trunk."
GM says the issue is not with the eAssist battery pack; the smoke and fire comes from overheating of the control board. One trunk fire has been reported, but no injuries are known. Scroll down below for the official press release from GM.
