1985 was the last year for the Ole Gal. She was getting a little
long in the tooth as the body style had been around now for 7
years. It was by far the most beautiful of all later year Rivieras
to come out of Detroit as the 1986 was anything but. 1985 was
mainly carry over, not much changed. This last year also saw a
decrease in production, with only 400 Convertibles being built.
Prices increased to $27,835.00 base with freight, a $1503.00
increase. The standard engine now, for the first time, was the 5.0
V8, as the 4.1 V6 was dropped from the Riviera line. Still
available was the 3.8 Liter Sequential-port Fuel Injected
Turbocharged V-6 engine option, while lower priced at $735.00, it
still sold poorly and only 49 Riviera Convertibles received this
engine.
If you were to order a 1985 Buick Riviera Convertible loaded with
all the options including the 3.8 Liter Sequential-port Fuel
Injected Turbocharged V-6 engine, it would set you back a whopping
$31,247.00! Not little money back in 1985, heck it isn't little
money today. One thing all these Riviera Convertibles had in common
was this; they were only available in 2 colors, White or Red
Firemist, all came with a white vinyl top, 84 and 85 being the only
years they were lined and all had the Maple (name used only in
early 1982) or Claret Leather Interior. These two names were mostly
the same color, very dark red, but the latter two years, 1984 and
1985 were a bit darker as GM changed its vendor that supplied the
leather. Please call Hollywood Motors with any questions or for
