Cases in point would be the beautiful 1956 Continental Mark II or the exquisite 1963 Buick Riviera. But when asked to list cars that were "design" landmarks

General Motors names new head of North America: Mark Reuss - MLive.com December 05, 2009

He was then named total vehicle engineer of the Oldsmobile Aurora and Buick Riviera later that same year, followed by total vehicle engineer positions on and more »

General Motors Co. Chairman Ed Whitacre Jr. said Friday he is putting engineering chief Mark Reuss in charge of GM's North American operations in a management shakeup.

Whitacre, in an address to employees Friday, also said he is recombining sales and marketing, placing them under Susan Docherty. She became head of sales when former CEO Fritz Henderson separated the roles of sales and marketing.

Reuss recently was named head of engineering, and before that ran the company's Holden operations in Australia.

Whitacre said Bob Lutz, who had been in charge of marketing, will remain a vice chairman and be an adviser on global product development. He also will help Whitacre learn about the business.

Whitacre made the announcements in a broadcast to GM employees worldwide. He told the workers he wants them to take risks, make decisions and be entrepreneural. If they take reasonable risks, they need not fear being fired for them, Whitacre said.

Q:

i want to sell my 1963 buick riviera it is in great shape and runs well too! how much can i get for it?

A: Derrick,

Check out the '63 Rivieras on this site:

http://tinyurl.com/yrz93z

They range in price from $2,250 to $50,000.

Also take a look at the Rivieras on:
hemmings.com

Obviously the final price is going to depend on the actual condition of your car.

Critical questions are:

1) is there any rust?

2) has it been in an accident?

3) are all of the parts original?

4) has it been repainted?

A '63 Riveria in excellent original (nonrestored) condition with fewer than 75,000 miles is worth between $12,000 and $16,000.

If your car has been in Illinois for a long time, rust is going to be a big concern. The '63 Riviera is a very popular car for restoration, but there are enough of them around in very good shape that the the price drops pretty quickly if there are any of the problems I mentioned.

If you wanted to get a quick pricing of your car, and a possible sale, I would get in touch with the folks at Country Classics. It is off of I-55.

And if your car doesn't fit into the "original condition; good condition" category, then I would list it on chicago.craigslist.org. The listing is free.

Good luck! The early Riviera's are nice cars. (answered by John W on June 04, 2007)
