Description:

1953 Buick Super Riviera 2 door Hardtop
322 c.i.d. Nailhead V8 engine.
Dynaflow (automatic) transmission.
Power Steering
Vehicle is in good condition. I was told by the person I bought it from it was redone in the early 90s. I had the radiator redone last summer. I installed a rebuilt carb, still correct one for the car. New spark plugs. New rear springs.
The car runs and drives great. Last April I pulled a vintage travel trailer up to Dubuque IA with it for a weekend show (6+ hour drive). Drove it all around central IL all summer. In October I pulled the travel trailer up to Woodstock IL for a weekend show (3+ hour drive). My interests have changed slightly and so I am letting this go in order to start a different project I have found. Car is fun to drive and gets a lot of attention.
Car is all original except air cleaner and wheels. Car is 99% complete, see pictures.
The car is good driver quality. The front bumper and grill chrome is in good condition, but not new. The rear bumper is in ok condition, the corners have some rust showing. The stainless is in good shape but could use a polishing. The car has a few imperfections in the paint. The paint is coming off in a few places. The hood is is worst panel. I have tried to get pics of all spots. The driver door vent window is cracked, see pic. The passenger door window is cracked, see pic. Both door panels are missing arm rests and a trim piece. The plastic inserts in the rear emblem are missing. Driver side of seat worn through. Mechanical fuel pump went out last summer and I installed an electric one in its place. True mileage unknown. Tires are in good condition.
Ready for spring time cruising!
