Vehicle Description
1963 Buick Riviera (Corinth, KY) $19,500 obo The new Riviera rode
on its own 117-inch wheelbase chassis and the standard engine was a
325 bhp, 401 cid V-8. All Rivieras had the 2-speed Turbine Drive
automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes, while air
conditioning was a $350 option. A tilt steering column was fitted,
along with cruise control. The body was remarkable, a combination
of curves and planes with very little brightwork. Side widows were
frameless and the doors built with a separate skin, so the
mechanism could be precisely adjusted. Doors were so long they had
two interior handles, one for the rear seat passengers. The
interior was luxurious with vinyl, cloth and vinyl or optional
leather bucket seats in front, mirrored in the rear with a
depressed center section. Two separate pods of gauges came from the
Electra, but the dash swept down to a center console where the
gearshift, headlight and wiper switches were located along with
front and rear ashtrays, lighters and courtesy lights.This is
coming out of a high end collector's estate, and there are several
others to choose from. Extra parts are available. Please give our
