Vehicle Description
You always love it when you can find a classic that was a
professional's personal project. So not only is this 1957 Buick
Super Riviera Sedan a stunning V8 classic, but also it has been
restored with a superior level of personal care.
The owner of a restoration shop took this on as a family project.
And that's a good thing, because this Buick is for lovers of
details. The Belmont Green and white two-tone is a newer
application when the car was restored a couple of years ago. These
two colors are expertly intertwined, and the ridge in the body line
is a masterful stroke to use as a color barrier. Plus, the red
streak within this feature nicely coordinates with the painted trim
around the bright wheel covers. So this is a very thoughtful
classic. Plus, the Riviera specification is particularly impressive
on the sedans. After all, you get a larger pillar-less hardtop
that's emphasized further by the dip in the full-length trim that
mirrors the slope of the roofline. And this also carries all the
best of a proper '50s machine - from the acers of chrome to the
well-integrated tailfins.
The green interior looks nice against the green of the exterior.
That's a good thing, because this pillar-less hardtop gives people
an easy view inside. The wide benches are finished in a comfortable
cloth, and so with the amount of room in this luxury sedan, it's
the perfect classic to enjoy with family and friends. The Buick
crest steering wheel is thin and has that kind of instant sense of
grip that we seemed to have lost over the years. Buick's design
team really hit a home run with the entire dash. The appearance
combines sporting elements like machined panels with elegant dials
for a distinctively upscale appearance that still feels premium
today.
The Nailhead V8 was given a nice upgrade in displacement in '57 to
364 cubic inches. The consignor believes this is the original motor
for the car, and so you'll love how the engine bay looks authentic
right down to the turquoise block color and large air cleaner.
Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, this has the power to be a
true cruising Buick. The Dynaflow automatic transmission adds to
the easy cruising feeling. So you'll love driving this Super
everywhere thanks to power steering, power brakes, and Buick's
legendary supple ride.
This Buick delivers on its spectacular looks in every possible way.
And at a price like this, you know you'll have to act fast to take
it home. Call now!
