NOW FOR YOUR BIDDING PLEASURE, I HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL 1958 BUICK RIVIERA TWO DOOR HARDTOP. THIS BUICK IS A MATCHING NUMBERS CAR WITH LOW ORIGINAL MILEAGE. AS BUICK SPECIALS GO, THIS IS A RARE BUICK INDEED, WITH POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, DUAL EXHAUST AND SHE ALSO HAS FLOOR HEATERS UNDER EACH SIDE OF THE FRONT SEATS. I WOULD LIKE TO STATE AT THIS TIME THAT THIS ENGINE RUNS SMOOTHLY AND HAS NO BLUE SMOKE AND SHE DOES NOT LEAK ANY OIL. THE CARBURETOR WAS JUST REBUILT WHICH HELPS THIS 364 CUBIC INCH MOTOR PURR RIGHT ALONG. THE OLD STYLE GENERATOR WAS REMOVED AND A NEW ONE WIRE ALTERNATOR WAS INSTALLED. NOW, THE DYNAFLO TRANSMISSION IN THIS BUICK HAS NO LEAKS, IT RUNS SO SMOOTHLY, YOU CANNOT HEAR OR FEEL THE TRANNY WORKING. HOWEVER, IF THIS BUICK (OR ANY OF THESE OLDER CARS) ARE NOT DRIVEN ON A REGULAR BASIS, THE TRANNY OIL WILL SEEP FROM THE TORQUE CONVERTER (BECAUSE OF GRAVITY). SO YOU SHOULD START THE CAR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND PUT INTO GEAR. ALL THE FLOOR PANS ARE SOLID AS WELL AS THE ROCKER PANELS AND THE TRUNK. THE FRAME AND THE UNDERCARAGE OF THIS CAR IS VERY CLEAN AS THE PICTURES DO SHOW. NOW TO THE CHROME AND STAINLESS. THE WHOLE FRONT BUMPER AND JUST THE TWO REAR BUMPER ENDS HAVE BEEN RE-CHROMED, THE CENTER REAR BUMPER AND SMALLER REAR BULLETS STILL NEED SOME ATTENTION. ALL THE STAINLESS IS IN GOOD SHAPE CONSIDERNING ITS 53 YEARS OLD. SOME OF THE POTMETAL IS PITTED, ESPECIALLY ON THE MUSTACHE BAR, THE WINDOW SURROUNDS AND ON BOTH DOOR HANDLES. ALL THE GLASS IS IN GOOD SHAPE EXCEPT THE PASSENGERS DOOR GLASS, (WHICH WAS JUST CRACKED WHILE AT THE UPOLSTERY SHOP) BUT IT IS A FLAT PIECE OF GLASS AND WILL BE AN EASY FIX FOR YOU TO GET DONE. THE PAINT ON THE CAR LOOKS REAL GOOD. IT IS VERY PRESENTABLE. THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE OF PRIOR BODY WORK TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE ENTIRE INTERIOR IS NEW, FROM THE HEADLINER TO THE CARPET, THE SEATS AND THE DOORS AS WELL AS THE CARPET IN THE TRUNK. THE TIRES ARE NEW STEEL BELTED RADIALS AND GIVE THIS CLASSIC A NICE SMOOTH RIDE. SHE STOPS ON A DIME WITH THE NEW BRAKES THAT WERE UPGRADED TO POWER BRAKES. SHE ALSO HAS A NEW AND PROPER BATTERY THAT WAS DESIGNED FOR THIS CAR. THE ORGINAL VACUUM TYPE WIPERS ON THIS BUICK DO WORK, AND AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, BECAUSE OF THE VACUUM, THEY ARE INTERMITTENT AS YOU PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL AND LET OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CLASSIC CAR IN 95 DEGREE TEMPS AND THE CAR RAN WELL AND DID NOT OVERHEAT. THIS BUICK WAS LAST STATE INSPECTED IN 2008 AND PASSED THE INSPECTION. THIS IS A REALLY NICE DRIVING AND NICE LOOKING CLASSIC CAR FOR YOU TO DRIVE. YOU CAN BID WITH CONFIDENCE ON THIS 1958 BUICK - "THE KING OF CHROME". THANKS FOR LOOKING AND AS ALWAYS ......
