Book Description
The Riviera was always sold as a hardtop model with two doors. Power and performance gradually increased over the years. From 1966 it became bigger and heavier. For 1970 the new 455ci V8 became available but emissions regulations began to take their toll on performance. The 1971 Riviera became even bigger with new styling and by the mid-70s horsepower was much reduced. This book of road tests, model introductions, comparison tests, specification and performance data tells the story. Models covered are:- 401, 425, Gran Sport 425, 430, 430GS, 455GS, 455 Stage 1, 455, 403, 350.

BMW E30 - 3 Series Restoration Bible

Author: Brendan Purcell
Publisher: Brooklands Books
ISBN: 1914988876
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 310

Book Description
It is amazing to think that time has passed by and that the second BMW "3 Series" has achieved such status that it warrants this special book on its 21st anniversary. Maybe it is due to the sheer longevity of its design, its ability to satisfy the keen driver or its iconic status - but, whatever it is, there is no doubt that the E30 is one car from the past that will stay with us into the future. It is a pending classic and prices for well kept models have started to escalate; furthermore, there is a core of well cared for cars out there requiring basic attention by their dedicated owners. As a result, there has never been a better time for a book of this sort. By focusing on the common faults which crop up repeatedly and by giving detailed, simple instructions regarding repairs, this book will be uniquely invaluable for owners who wish to try their hand at their own maintenance, especially those who may previously have been prevented from doing so by a lack of technical know-how or specific knowledge.

Book Description
The early post war Buicks retained early-40s styling but this had changed by 1950. These years were very successful years even if the products were not always at the leading edge of technology, performance or styling. The Dynaflow automatic transmission was ordered on some 85% of all new Buicks by 1951 although the overhead-valve V8 was not introduced until 1953. After the chrome-and-fins era in 1958 the early 1960s produced some well proportioned cars. In this compilation of road tests, driving impressions, specification and performance data, and model introductions the cars covered are: Dynaflow Buicks, 50-series Super, Roadmaster 41, Super Riviera V8, Century, Century Special, Roadmaster Special, Special Estate Wagon, Century Hardtop, Limited, Invicta, Electra, Electra 225, Le Sabre, Special, Skylark, Wildcat.

Book Description
Amongst the wide range of Buick cars built in this period there were some muscle cars for the enthusiast. These were the cars that added glamour to the Buick name. From being front-runners in the late 1960s emissions controls and tightening safety regulations gradually emasculated these cars in the early 1970s. The oil crisis of 1973-4 finally killed off the muscle car genre altogether. This book is a compilation of road and comparison tests, driving impressions, model introductions and performance data. Models covered are:- Skylark Special, Wildcat, Electra 225, Super Wildcat, LeSabre 400 Sport CoupT, Skylark Gran Sport, Riviera Gran Sport, GS400, California GS, GS430, Stage 1 GS400, GS455, GS455 Stage 1, GS350, GSX455, GSX455 Stage 1, Centurion, Century Regal.
