- The second generation Buick Riviera styling cycle begins right here. But why did Buick call itself “the tuned car” in 1966? And how did the hideaway headlamps work? And why does Queen Katie of Bernardston care so much? Watch the video and learn!
Get well Steve. We miss you.
What's going on with Steve?
I sure hope he's ok....

Hope you're okay Steve. Still watching
Wishing Uncle Steve a steady, speedy recovery as he nears 100K subscribers. I remember when I first heard about Steve through his "Junkyard Crawl" articles in Car Craft magazine in 2018. I also enjoyed the Junkyard Gold series on MotorTrend on Demand, but I prefer the RUclips Junkyard Crawls better. I am really disappointed that both Car Craft and Junkyard Gold are cancelled; with all due respect, MotorTrend can go eat shit.
I had gotten Road and Track and Car and Driver free for a year from some sort of promotion. I'm glad it was free because in reading most of the articles it's obvious that their average reader hasn't turned a wrench in decades and when they did, it consisted of putting air in a tire.
did he make an announcement of being ill somewhere?
@@googleusergpYeah I never really cared for a lot of those big automotive magazine publications. I enjoyed looking through Car Craft's articles about the builds and Car Craft also had a funny cartoon comic strip called "Krass & Bernie" which I enjoyed looking at. Brought back a lot of memories. It makes me disappointed when companies make perfectly good magazines/shows kick the bucket.
@@steveosgood9182 A few weeks ago, Steve Magnante was missing in action and when he returned after his hiatus he announced that he was in the hospital, hence all the reruns. A week later, Steve is missing in action again probably back in the hospital and has resorted back to doing reruns, and Shane is most likely the person who is uploading them. I wish all the best for Steve and Shane.
OK, thanks@@nathanjoseph4284
Good morning gang! Let's wish Steve good health and hope to see him soon. I hope Super Shane is doing okay. 👍👍🇨🇦
I had a 66 Buick grand sport and someone ran into the front and i had a dog house for a 66 malibu and I was just messing around and we sat it on the Buick and it was almost perfect fitting, with about a hour of bodywork it looked like it came that way and it's still in my town running around 35 years later, i talked to the guy who owns it and told him I put it together and he thought someone just changed the grille until I showed him pictures of it when I was putting it together. He takes it to all the local car shows
Oh Noo! Steve's in a bad way? Keep supporting his channel PLEASE!!!!! hope and pray he gets better asap. Steve, you got this brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This episode is an all-time classic
Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health Steve. Willing to bet even Queen Katie is scanning the yard missing you. Get well soon and looking forward to new installments.
we have a heat index of 110f. today. it was refreshing to see this snowy craw!!! lol
It had to be wonderful to be of the buying age when these cars were new. There were so many beautiful and exciting machines to choose from like this beauty.
Great video Steve!
We respect your privacy but get well soon, Katie's gotta be missing you like the rest of us!
If your 70 years old used muscle cars were dirt cheap during the gas crisis, and if you just wanted a car you could get one for $25 bucks. Small used car lots used to be everywhere with some cool stuff at all of them. Think about that for a while. Of course, now you would be really old. lol
Yep I looked at, test drove and "almost bought" more than a few used muscle cars that would be worth big bucks today. I even owned a few but eventually sold them.@@will7its
I had a 1963 . It was a great car. Get well Steve praying for you
Had a '65. Very sexxxy cars!
Even if you were mainly a Ford or Chrysler guy in the 60's, you have to admit GM had their act together, at least in styling. There was at least ONE GM product that everyone liked. I always loved the Riviera and Toranado. Thanks Steve!
Not to mention easy to work on and didn't break down like the other brands. Just look under the hood of an old chevy.
You could sleep in there.
The junk yard crawl is a morning alarm for me.😊
These reposts are so info-packed that they are more than worth a 2nd look. Get well soon, Steve!
Another day of hoping Mr. Magnante is getting on the mend. As stated last time:
Katie the dog is reminding you to tell everyone that the bodies on these cars were made at the Fisher Body plant in Euclid, OH and then transported to Flint, MI for final assembly by Buick or to Lansing in the case of an Oldsmobile. The Fisher Euclid body plant was opened in 1921 at East 140th and Coit Road at 20001 Euclid Ave and operated until 1993, with boat maker Sea Ray contracting with the plant to make trim parts for boats for a time.
We (barely) got the VIN, we win: 4 for Buick, 94 for Riviera, 87 for two door hardtop, 6 for 1966 model year, H for Flint, MI final assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Flint, MI plant operated from 1904 to 1999 and was the Buick "home" plant. It was also called "Buick City" for a time. Lear Corporation operates a seat manufacturing facility on part of that site now.
No tag, can't brag, but some can be figured out, no doubt: 66 for 1966 model year, EUC for Euclid, OH Fisher Body, 9487 for Riviera, 610 for Green interior trim, Z-Z for Riviera Silver Green lower and upper exterior paint, possible E for "E-Z Eye" tinted glass, all windows, X for power windows, 2K for air conditioning, 5Z for seat belts among other codes.
Man getting really worried. I understand this could be private. But considering someone keeps releasing these videos. Either they care about the money.... pr the subs. Or whatever they want us to keep watching these videos. So maybe give us an update. You want from us? We want from u. So whoever is uploading this. Super shane........what's up? I want to support. But I would like to know what I'm supporting.
@@Fony_turgesonI can understand. It might be a medical issue, but it would be good to know he is OK or on the mend. It's just being concerned for another person, that's all. It would be tempting to call High Octane Classics and inquire about how he might be doing, if they know.
I have a 66 Riv, Cali car brought to Maine, optional buckets and console. Came with complete dual quad set up. Great episode. Get well soon Steve.
I am fairly new to this channel (8 months or so). I enjoy it very much. Steve has great knowledge and reminds me of many guys I grew up with (grease monkeys, gearheads, and engineers). I hope he is ok. We can hope for the best and still respect his privacy.
'66-'70 Toronado actually had a 3/4 length frame that ends where the rear leaf springs attach. Unibody type construction for the rearmost part of the car.
I love this car! I also love the Toronados they were beautiful automobiles it seemed like they could coast forever!
I never owned one, but rode in a few, they were very luxurious comfortable cars, yet, had a sporty feel to them,and top end, out on the highway? Highway rocket ships!
I owned a '67 Toronado from '77-'87. In a magazine test feature (may even be the one shown here) it stated "The speedometer goes up to 135, and so does the car!" I always thought that was a great line, true or not!
I also love these Rivs. A high school friend had one in '72. Great car.
63-4-5 was a much better looking car to me. 64 probably being the best of the three with the headlight/tail light layout. Interiors were amazing! The roofline and rear wheel openings were a little off but not bad. Easily in my top 10 best looking list.
Your props always blow me away Steve.
Keep getting better my friend.
Watching this again and commenting for the algorithm. Wishing you all the best, Steve. You’re missed.
Very happy to hear that you’re improving, Steve. Keep fighting the good fight.
Steve, hoping you have a fast recovery, and best wishes for you! We miss you, and your phenomenal knowledge on all things automotive.
This may indeed have had he dual quads, which would explain why only the intake/carbs is missing.
My thoughts exactly...
Releasing these snowy reviews on some of the hottest days of the year. You're cruel Steve. Hoping things are well in your world. Thanks again for my favorite history lessons!
Feel better soon Steve ! Looking forward to more videos and YOUR better health !!!❤
Wishing you a complete recovery you’re a unique gem. Met you several times and you were always gracious and willing to share your knowledge
That's the first time I've seen a dog's face blurred out on video. You have been added to our prayer list. Get well soon!
Great content from Steve as usual. Love the channel Steve! Praying you get well soon!
I finally know what a Nailhead is! Thanks Steve and adding you to my prayer list. It suck’s getting old(er). You’re still a pretty young guy and many of us are thinking of you. I’m sure you’ll be up to speed soon and until then we’ll be watching and thumbs upping you!
I found Steve’s Chanel a week or so ago and noticed his persistent sniffling. I thought about CSF, and if he had it or not!? Then I saw one of Hoovers standin episodes, and heard about his health concerns. I wonder if he inhaled something, due to his “sniffling”? I hope above hope this man gets better and I get to see him grow old old old! This gentleman is the older brother we all wish we had had as boys!
These cars looked like factory Kustoms. What a stylish car. Starting to think about adding one to the bucket list. Despite a friend of mine owning one, I had no clue the headlight actually covered the grille. Get well, Steve!
This video has one of the funniest Katie moments ever! Support Steve & rewatch these awesome videos that know one else does like Steve
Thanks Steve.
We love u Steve. Missed u at barett Jackson last weekend. Hope to see you up and running soon.
I love that the dog was hidden behind a mosaic filter for anonymity. :)
Always great videos. Impatiently awaiting your return Steve. Get well soon.
That's one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
Good for you out in the snow in a t-shirt. Keep the good videos coming.
Hope you get better soon. Love your videos! Take care
That car was definitely one beautiful car! Man what happened to Buick? They used to make such great beautiful cars!! Hope Steve is doing well!🙏we miss you man!
Thanks Steve! Get well soon!!
Praying for you.
Steve shows the column auto shifter and says that it wouldn't have had the bucket seats. I wonder if maybe some were so equipped, because few of Camaro, Firebirds, Cutlass, maybe Skylarks were. The consoles would sometimes have the optional 8 track tape player and locking gloves boxes. Just wonder the story or answer to why this classic is there. Hope it gets saved. I remember in 1983 I seen a 1966 Toronado sitting in the back yard of my mom's cousin sunken in the ground just like this car. He said it had a problem, and it never got the care it truly deserved. He bought it new too. Probably parked when he bought the 1975 Cadillac sedan DeVille. Great video Steve. Hope you the best! Stay in if you have to.
As many 66-70 Rivieras as there are still in existance, I've only seen a handful up close and in person.
I am quite shocked to see that the 2nd gen carried on with (or went back to) the X-frame when B bodies up-graded to the new perimeter frame in 1965. That's just wierd.
Has me wondering how long they went with that on the Riviera.
Aawww... Katie loves Steve!
She seems like such a good girl. I had a dog like her named Chelsea a while back. She was the most friendly and lovable dog ever.....unless I wasn't around and she was protecting the property or chasing off unwanted critters. Then, look out! I miss her. I wonder if Katie is like that...being a junkyard dog...or if she is so friendly no matter what....
My nephew adopted a mixed breed named Gracie. I will meet her soon for the first time. She's part Pit Bull, Staffie and a host of other breeds. But above all, she seems like a well-behaved and socialized dog. She looks so much like Scooby Doo that a delivery driver said, "Herrroooo Scooby Doo" as he was bringing something in the house. LOL.
Thanks,Steve.
Great video thank you.
Prayers Steve.... You got this.👍
Thank you Steve
The Riviera was a bright star in the smog era in my mind.
30 years ago I had a 1979 Buick Riviera. Great car! That thing would power through two feet of snow! No problem with the front-wheel drive.
Get well Steve we all miss you!!!!!!!!!!😢😢
Love the pixelated dog. Great GDPR right there 👍
Very maneuverable camera man, always getting a good shot!
Love this guy. Wish I new a sliver of what he knows.
Those grille gap fillers hanging off the front of the hood look mean! I'm sure those have ripped a few heads open! Somebody in the GM/Buick design division was out to lunch that day.
She stole the show again great videos Steve. Get well hope everything is good
Great vid!!! 👍👍
I hope Steve is on the mend, hospital food sucks! Get well sir, you're definitely missed!
Get well soon Steve from Mopar Tom in Callander Ontario! We all miss you and your amazing info packed brain!
The dog is having a great time
Thank You
lets hope Steve is busy working on the Remcharger.
I have to say I love that dog she's beautiful
Love those 66s
Beautiful vehicle. My tattoo guy in Connecticut has a well done one- Deep blue with white interior
Get well soon Steve!!
Take care of yourself, we'll be here, all the best
Even the reposts are great. Hope you are recovering well. Could you give us an update as to your return to the junkyard?
Thoughts are with you buddy
Get well soon Steve.
A man loved by his dog 🐕 is a good man. 😊

Your the man.
Katie in the snow.
Get well Steve!!!
Get well Steve 🙏
Get well and back to the crawl soon...queen katie must be missing you...
Can you send some of this snow down here in Texas? It is 105 degrees every day for the past two months and probably for the next three.
Dang, Katie was really playful today! HaHa!
You get him girl! Lmao!😂
Chin up buddy. You got this

Hang in there Steve get well buddy
That Katie is wanting to be on camera too, I've noticed she comes along just about everytime you all start shooting. Haha! Oh well, that's okay I guess... God speed Steve 🙏
Did Steve get ill wearing just a t-shirt in the snow?
Get better Steve love the show
Get well Steve
Morning Steve.....
Steve is the man
Hey, Steve, digging the channel. As a Subscriber, gotta ask: why don't you reply to comments? Of course not every one, but at least some where supporters ask real-world questions 🤨 Get well
Actually, Steve has replied to several of my comments in the past. I assume with him being ill, he may not have ready access to a computer. Rest assured, if he is able, he is reading your comment. So, let's wish him well and pray for his recovery and speedy return. We miss ya, buddy!!
@@xfactorautomotive1496 🍻🍺
He does reply to comments and has called out subscribers by name. I've heard mine mentioned a few times. As noted by others, he may be dealing with a health concern.
@@googleusergp his replies are far and few in between. I have read 100s of comments from viewers that are deep and inquisitive….with no reply from Steve. I noticed a change in him so hopefully he is doing well and recoups at maximum strength
He’s replied to at least two of my comments. I hope he’s on the mend.
Get well Steve.
GET WELL STEVE!
I hope you're OK, Steve.
Had a friend that had a tornado lmao that it was it was diesel/gas conversion the starter shorted out on it it started turning the engine backwards and burnt the hot cable and post off battery before he could unhook it
