Riviera is a hallowed name in Buick history, and while it was
originally applied to GM's first hardtop version of the 1949
Roadmaster, a sister car to the Cadillac Coupe de Ville and
Oldsmobile 98 Holiday, it came to prominence as its own model for
the 1963 model year. This new car represented General Motors'
design department at the top of its game; it was a clean sheet
reimagination of a premium Buick coupe created by stylist Ned
Nickles and his team of designers and modelers, under the careful
direction of vice president of design Bill Mitchell.
For consignment, a 1967 Buick Riviera hardtop showing 7,105 miles,
but the true miles are unknown due to a PA title exemption. This is
a two owner car that comes to you with the original window sticker
and glove box punch card from General Motors.
Exterior
Undeniably some of the most exciting designs from GM came in the
form of Rivieras which went through numerous iterations including
this incredible two year design which maintains the familial side
profile, but caps it with a sleek grille and quad headlights that
drop down, flanked by fixed marker lights on outer wings. The
configuration is mirrored in part by the tail light panel which
stretches end to end, breaking only for the license plate and
framed by the chrome bumper and polished trim. This example wears
its single stage Gold Mist very well and the elongated C-pillar
seamlessly melds with the hips of the rear fender to show off the
color even more. 15-inch Buick Rally wheels wear 215/75R15's with a
mid 2024 date code and appropriate narrow white wall design.
Imperfections include a few chips, cracks, scratches, inclusions,
and small areas of crazing but virtually nothing you can see at any
distance.
Interior
Personal luxury meant smooth black vinyl and robust chrome trim on
the door panels, elegant and artful with brushed nickel faceplates
for the switchgear, the Riviera R, and both doors present in
beautiful condition. The pleated design of the split bench is also
fine grain black vinyl and both front and rear are immaculate.
Distinctive T-shaped spokes connect a thin black rim of the
steering wheel leading to a perfect dash with square gauges
flanking a barrel style speedometer. The original AM/FM radio is in
place along with the A/C panel and various cabochon-like toggle
switches. Black looped carpet covers the floor along with vintage
Buick branded mats while the headliner and visors appear showroom
fresh. In keeping with the theme, even the fully finished trunk
presents flawlessly.
Drivetrain
Just some light tinges of age show in this clean bay where a 430ci
V8 resides, capable of an impressive 360 horsepower and fueled by a
4-barrel carburetor. It's mated to an ST300 2-speed automatic
transmission that routes power to the 10 bolt rear axle. This
luxury cruiser has power brakes, power steering, and air
conditioning.
Undercarriage
There is some time induced surface rust around and a film of oil on
the pans and rear differential, but the underside is otherwise
clean and complete. The clean dual exhaust system contours to the
X-brace and runs through stock style mufflers and resonators on its
way to an unceremonious exit behind the bumper. Components include
power drum brakes at all four wheels and coil springs front and
rear with a 3 link and a panhard bar out back.
Drive-Ability
It's time to take this time capsule for a spin and a tap of the gas
and turn of the key is enough to wake the big 430 and roll this Riv
onto the test loop where it provides good power, straight tracking,
and great visibility despite sizable C-pillars and we'd kill for a
right side mirror! We noticed the clock, power antenna, left rear
power window, and the speed alert warning not working, the latter
of which you'll just have to self monitor! All other functions on
this classic Buick work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall
represents that these functions were working at the time of our
test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at
the time of your purchase.
While we can't verify the mileage due to exemption, this car has
all the signs of a true, low mileage survivor that has been
properly stored and meticulously stewarded. This is your golden
ticket into the Buick Club of America and if you're already a Buick
collector, this example is a piece of precious metal you won't have
to dig for!
