Vehicle Description
This 1972 Buick Riviera is one of the most daring designs put to
sheet metal. After all, the boat tail rear end is the kind of
expensive stamping that you wouldn't get today, but GM did it back
then to make sure the Riviera remained a distinctive and premium
cruiser. And that upper-class style suits this one nicely. After
all, the name of the clean and glossy paint is Champagne Gold. And
there are premium details everywhere. The trim follows the dip in
the window line to show off the well-fitting panels. The tan vinyl
top coordinates with the saddle tan interior. And you'll love the
little things, like how all the interior lights seem to work - even
the trunk. And there's even a rarely-seen sunroof (it will likely
need servicing to open.) Plus, the engine bay has an ultra-tidy
style to showcase the big 455ci V8. So take some extra time to look
and the premium design and premium features of an iconic personal
luxury cruiser.

This Riviera was designed to be a premium personal cruiser, and
over a half-century later, this example revels in that attitude.
You see it in the way the golden paint loves to attract attention
with its radiance. And the interior is a time capsule, right down
to the wood-like trim. And they'd rather hide upgrades like the CD
stereo in the glovebox than jeopardize the vintage atmosphere. We
also love the way this coupe envelops the driver with the contoured
dash, tilted console, and a tilt column. It really gives you a much
greater feeling of command. And of course, the strong-running big
V8 means being an authority on the road. So while the boat tail
style is iconic, it's the total package of this Riviera that makes
it irresistible. Call today!!!
