Built over nearly 36 years and 7 generations of changes, the Buick
Riviera was among the elite American automobiles. In its lifespan
1,127,261 Rivieras were produced. Latin for Coastline, the name
Riviera was chosen to evoke the allure of affluence. The 6th
generation was built from 1979 - 1985 and are considered the last
of the Big GM cars. This was also the debut of the Front Wheel
Drive Riviera. Many different engine options were offered. By 1982,
a convertible was also offered; however, few were built due to the
overwhelming cost, which was nearly $24,000. They were also only
built in one of two colors, white or red with red being the only
interior option. This particular car has traveled just over 46,000
miles from new and has recently come out of the R.E. Oldsmobile
museum in Lansing, Michigan. This car looks new, featuring
perfectly crystal clear trim and paint. The interior is perfect,
and the convertible top operates smoothly, evenly, and flawlessly.
The A/C blows ice cold with working climate control and radio. All
seat controls work as they should. The only components changed
since it rolled off the assembly line is a new tail pipe and
muffler behind the catalytic converter. This car is in immaculate
condition and is ready for a new owner.
