Vehicle Description
This 1985 Buick Riviera is an exceptionally preserved example where
the nearly impossibly low odometer is even believed to be the full
mileage. So it's a nicely presented reminder of why we love
individual luxury coupes. With V8 power, a luxury A/C interior, an
overdrive transmission, and a fully independent suspension, you can
cruise in vintage style and comfort for quite an affordable
price.
You know you like the Autumn Maple Firemist color, and we do, too.
It has an interesting depth that brings out bold red undertones
when the sunlight hits it. It shows all the right signs of being
the factory application, and it continues to look impressive for a
classic that's rapidly approaching its 40th anniversary. This
survivor paint sets the tone for the whole car. After all, the
ultra-low odometer is believed to show the full mileage. While
there are records that back this up, you can also see this is a
time capsule inside and out. The headlights still shine like jewels
in the bright factory housing; the golden pinstripe running the
full length of the car really highlights the gentle curves in its
profile; and the bright solid wire wheel covers are a terrific way
to showcase the special Riviera logo.
Those solid doors swing wide for a dramatic reveal of an
exceptionally preserved interior. The deep maroon has the kind of
coordinated sophistication that will remind you of the Riviera's
European naming root. The way the leather on the seat looks is
another one of the signs this car has received top care and little
us. It nicely matches the door panels, carpeting, and dash for an
unmistakable well-preserved factory appearance. The smooth burled
walnut veneer and full courtesy lights kit are even part of the
terrific details that make the full package so impressive. There
are fold-down armrests in each row, so you can choose to carry up
to five family and friends with you, or go for more individual
comfort. You get to grab the factory wheel that matches this maroon
and wood motif and gaze at the extra wide speedometer. From this
command position you have an easy reach to all the features such as
the power seat, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, rear
defogger, tilt wheel, the Delco AM/FM stereo, and cold-blowing air
conditioning.
Under the hood is the optional 307 cubic inch V8. Just like the
rest of this luxury coupe, it looks exceptionally factory-correct
and exceptionally preserved. The V8 motor was a valuable piece to
give the Riviera the right kind of torque to move it around with
authority. The attitude on this one is a comfortable cruiser that
could even rival its relatives at Cadillac. That's why it came with
grand touring features like the fully independent suspension and a
four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. This is the kind
of classic that you're not intimidated to take on long trips thanks
to power steering, power brakes, front discs, and cruise
control.
A unique classic like this needs the right paperwork, and so the
sale comes complete with the factory buildsheet, title
documentation, and maintenance records. This is a sharp-looking
survivor that also has the right look that tells you deserves to be
driven. So if you want to show the world what personal luxury is
all about, don't miss this Riviera. Call today!!!
