This 1965 Buick Riviera features rare electric-converted clamshell
headlights - a distinctive one-year-only design element that
defines this luxury coupe's identity. Finished in factory Burgundy
Mist metallic with subtle gray pinstripes, this Riviera cuts an
unmistakable silhouette on the boulevard. The substantial chrome
bumpers and trim provide brilliant contrast against the rich paint,
while the factory 15" Riviera wheels wrapped in 235/75R15 whitewall
tires anchor the car with period-correct style. The tinted windows
maintain privacy while completing the exterior's clean lines, and
every panel aligns with precision - exactly what you'd expect from
Buick's premium personal luxury coupe.
The black vinyl interior delivers plush comfort with bucket seats
and factory console configuration. Rich black surfaces create a
sophisticated environment where the driver faces clear gauges
framed against a clean dash pad. The faux wood veneer adds visual
warmth while the aftermarket wood steering wheel on tilt column
gives an upgraded driving position. A retro AM/FM radio provides
entertainment through rear 6x9 decklid speakers. The factory cabin
lights illuminate the expertly crafted space during evening drives,
while R134a air conditioning keeps occupants cool regardless of
outside temperatures. The trunk area maintains factory cleanliness
with a small spare tire tucked away for emergencies.
A mighty 401 cubic inch V8 powers this grand tourer, fed by an
Edelbrock AVS2 4-barrel carburetor and mated to a TH400 3-speed
automatic transmission. The engine compartment displays proper
green-painted block and components, surrounded by fresh belts,
hoses and wiring. A large aluminum radiator with electric fan
maintains optimal temperature control, while power steering and
power brakes make driving effortless. The dual exhaust system with
manual cutouts allows for adjustable exhaust note - from refined
whisper to authoritative growl. All mechanical components work in
concert to provide the refined motoring experience Buick owners
expect.
