It has been pampered by me and its previous owners. I’m meticulous about my vehicles, my Riviera GS was never driven in the rain, has only seen sunny summer days and is stored in a heated storage unit during the winter months, connected to a battery tender.
My Riviera GS’s history:
The 1969 Buick Riviera was distinguishable by its retractable headlamps and unique front end design.
As the top-of-the-line Buick offered, the Riviera featured all items found on other Buicks as standard, in addition to accenting wood grain dash pieces and trunk lights.. The GS Option package retailed for $131.57. In 1969, Buick produced 52,872 examples of the Riviera of which 10% were GS’s.
It was once sold through Russo and Steele Collector Automobile Auctions AND Barret Jackson.
Owned by an entrepreneur, and car collector named Thomas Scott.
Originating from the Tom Scott Collection. "The cars aren't the first that come to mind when you think quintessential American muscle, but that's the point", says Scott.
"I came across a very original Buick Riviera as part of another extensive collection," Scott said in a statement. “I realized how incredibly cool and different they were for their time and on top of that, they’re very street able, easy to drive and easy to enjoy. Rivieras are truly wonderful machines."
My 1969 Buick Riviera Gran Sport was published in a January 2023 article of “The Review”, a Riviera Owners Association (ROA) magazine.
I have won awards at local car shows too!
