This 1963 Buick Riviera is a beautifully preserved example of one
of the most iconic personal luxury cars of the 1960s. Dressed in a
striking Teal Mist exterior over a sharp black interior, it
captures the bold elegance that defined Buick's design language of
the era. Power comes from a freshly rebuilt 401 cubic inch
"Nailhead" V8 engine, paired with a smooth automatic transmission
and a 3.25 rear end, delivering effortless cruising power with
plenty of torque. The car is equipped with power steering, power
brakes, a heater, and factory air conditioning, making it both
stylish and comfortable for modern driving. Meticulously maintained
by its previous owners and with less than 1,000 miles on the
rebuilt engine, this Riviera is in great shape and ready to be
enjoyed.
The 1963 Buick Riviera marked the debut of the Riviera nameplate
and set a new standard for American automotive design. Originally
envisioned as a competitor to the Ford Thunderbird, the Riviera
quickly earned a reputation for its clean, European-inspired lines,
hidden headlights (introduced later in the model run), and upscale
performance. The first-year model, like this one, was powered by
Buick's legendary Nailhead V8 and built on a unique chassis that
emphasized handling and ride quality. Designed under the direction
of GM's Bill Mitchell, the Riviera was praised for its restrained
elegance and has since become a benchmark in classic car design.
Today, the 1963 Riviera is considered a milestone car - a fusion of
performance, luxury, and timeless style that helped redefine what
an American grand touring car could be.
