Vehicle Description
1992 Buick Riviera
The Buick Riviera is a personal luxury car produced by Buick from
1963 to 1999. GM's first entry into that prestige niche, the
Riviera was highly praised by automotive journalists upon its
high-profile debut. While early models stayed close to the original
form, eight subsequent generations varied substantially over the
Riviera's thirty-year lifespan. In all, 1,127,261 were produced.
The name Riviera, Latin for coastline, was chosen to evoke the
allure and affluence of the French Riviera. It first entered the
Buick line in 1949, as the designation for the new two-door
pillarless hardtop, described in advertising as "stunningly
smart".
For consignment a 1-owner, all original, low mileage, garaged, and
well-kept and pampered Riviera. Read on for more excitement.
Exterior
It is hard to find fault with any of the straight steel panels, and
gaps that make up the shape of this car. All panels are covered
with Midnight Blue Metallic which is in showroom condition. A Dark
Blue padded landau top with no marks or tears is presented in the
back of the roof. All badging and brite work is excellent condition
including a full chromed trim line at the belt, that encircles this
car. Locking wire wheel covers are wrapped in radials with a classy
thin white stripe on all four corners.
Interior
Swing open the wide entry doors and you will be met by a beautiful
blue combination of leather and vinyl, with smatterings of wood
burl trimmings. Doors also house a plethora of power toggles and
buttons, such as power windows, power locks, power mirrors,
electric trunk actuation, cruise control, and power seat
adjustments (6 way for driver). Beautiful leather and stitched
vinyl buckets showing slight patina and some use, just add
character to this luxury car. These seats flank a blue and burl
center console, that houses the automatic shifter, and ashtray. As
we make our way up the burl covered dash climate control, and AM/FM
stereo radio with seek and scan and 6 speaker concert sound system.
A digital display is in front of the leather wrapped steering
wheel. The driver can also set the twilight headlight sensor
sensitivity to automatically turn on the headlights...now that's
living! Bringing up the back of the cabin is one bench seat, but 2
distinct bucket seats with a center armrest provide comfortable
seating for the rear passengers as well.
Drivetrain
A fuel efficient 3.8 Liter V6 with Tuned Port Injection is attached
to an automatic transmission with overdrive.
Undercarriage
As expected very clean with minimal surface rust, and very sound
structurally. It is amazing to see an almost 30 year old car
present so nicely, when driven even the low miles it has on the
digital display.
One can debate the definition of classic all day, however the
excellent condition, stunning presentation of the car makes it a
classic. A quick starter, very smooth runner, and great driver, it
will keep you occupied all day with all the switches, knobs and
buttons for conveniences it has attached to it. And if that is not
enough, play with the multi-function display dash to finish out
your day.
