This is a 1954 Buick Roadmaster Model 76-R Riviera two door hardtop. I purchased the Buick in May, 2009. It was repainted by a previous owner in the factory color, "Sharon Green ". The roof is "Artic White". I believe the front and rear bumpers were rechromed about the same time. The car is otherwise original. The interior is a combination of cloth and leather. The undercarriage shows use, but has no rust out. This is a partial list of what repairs and service I have performed: installed trunk cardboard kit. (05-2009), rebuild generator, voltage regulator, rebuild Carter carb (06-2009), four "Diamond Back" Radial wide white tires( 08-2009), install seat belts (08-2009), install aluminized exhaust system (09-2009), rebuild fuel pump (10-2009, total rebuild of transmission (11-2009), new carpet set, complete tune up (11-2009), rebuild starter (05-2010), install electric fuel pump (05-2011), front brakes rebuild (05-2012), new battery (07-2013). The oil was changed at regular intervals.
I have added photos of the areas on the body that show bubbles in the paint, and other areas of damage to trim. The Buick runs and drives out very well. It has power steering, windows, and power seat. Everything works except the radio and clock. All hoses and belts were replaced. It has the Dyna-Flow automatic transmission. You will get a few drops under the engine when parked, and a lifter is a little noisy at startup, but quiets when warmed. This Buick is a great road car with a comfortable ride. The transistor radio under the dash does not come with the car. I will leave the tachometer, compass, steering wheel spinner, and traffic viewer in the car.
The Buick is sold "AS IS", with no warranty.

Buick mulling more powerful Encore; diesel too
Mon, 21 Oct 2013Looking to set itself apart in the mid-luxury segment, Buick is looking to introduce a diesel engine somewhere in its US lineup. And according to Edmunds, the two best chances of a diesel Buick rest with the Encore and Verano.
In both our First Drive and Review of the 2013 Encore, our chief complaint about the compact crossover was the the lack of power from the 138-horsepower turbo engine. Edmunds says that the recently introduced 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (with both gas and diesel variants) from the Encore's overseas cousin, the Opel Mokka, could make its way into the Encore delivering the much-needed boost in power.
Then there's the Verano. As a close relative to the Chevy Cruze, which just added a diesel engine for 2014, the article speculates that a Verano Diesel might actually be the more "probably candidate" if and when Buick decides to add a diesel model to its portfolio. Either way, offering such an engine in one of its products could be a great way for Buick to differentiate itself from Cadillac and possibly even attract buyers from Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz looking for a luxurious, fuel-efficient vehicle.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Movie Review: Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary
Thu, 06 Dec 2012As Buick currently claws and scratches its way back into relevance to compete against luxury brands like Lexus and Acura, it's hard to believe that not too long ago, the brand had a car that was mentioned in the same breath as Corvette, Lamborghini and Ferrari. That car? None other than the Buick Grand National. All black with a turbocharged V6 and some of the quickest acceleration of its time, the Grand National, in today's standards, is along the lines of a 2013 Shelby GT500 with both cars essentially being a working man's supercar.
The last Grand National rolled off the assembly line in Flint, MI on December 11, 1987, and to mark the silver anniversary of that somber occasion, Black Air is a documentary of the Grand National from the perspective of the enthusiast, the collector, the media and even from those at General Motors responsible for creating such a sinister legend. Like the car itself, Andrew Filippone Jr. shoots the documentary in a raw fashion, and it definitely helps to show why a low-volume muscle car from the 1980s is still the object of obsession for many automotive enthusiasts to this day.
