Vehicle Description
Time to own the trump card at every survivor show. When was the
last time you saw a 1986 Buick Riviera? Now think about one that
has its original red paint looking amazing, a pristine white vinyl
top, cool interior upgrades, and has averaged less than 500 miles
annually. This is a very special personal luxury coupe indeed.
One look, and it truly feels like 1986 all over again. The Flame
Red paint retains its showroom shine, so you can tell there has
been nothing but care in this Buick's life. But more than just
sophisticated factory paintwork, the luxury is in the details, too.
The white pinstriping runs as an unbroken line around the full
straight sheetmetal. And this does a great job of coordinating with
the white vinyl top to give you a thoughtful uniform appearance.
Bi-level chrome bumpers, stylized "R" hood ornament, wire wheel
covers, and a waterfall grille, all are great styling cues from the
Riviera's history, but this one has a sleek style all its own.
While the public wasn't ready for the smaller size that debuted
this year it meant it wasn't quite as popular as its other
generations. But today that makes this one of the rarest versions
out there, and it has a wheelbase that promotes better
handling.
These were top of the line Buicks that reached into Cadillac
territory, so a rich red velvet-like cloth awaits you inside. The
full package still looks amazing, because after all, ultra-low
mileage also means little seat time. The handsome bucket seats
strike a nice balance between armchair comfortable and individual
support. This is a loaded luxury vehicle with power windows, power
locks, power mirrors, and cruise control. But as you can see from
the pictures, this is more than just great features. There's cool
technology, too. Many of the components are button-operated, and
they surround the digital speedometer. Your air conditioning,
AM/FM/cassette stereo, and information on the car are all
controlled through a futuristic (especially for the day)
touchscreen display in the center of the dash. Yes, you can get
factory touchscreen controls in a car from 1986!
One of Buick's most durable and well-developed engines, the
fuel-injected 3.8-liter V6 is torquey, efficient, and reliable.
This is the original factory engine, and it has been maintained to
make sure it delivers the kind of power and poise you expect from a
personal luxury Buick. The four-speed automatic overdrive
transmission gives it great off-the-line response and pleasant
highway manners. Add in a fully independent suspension that's
supple yet athletic, power steering, front disc brakes, and the
ideal wheelbase of this generation, and you get a competent car
that loves the grand touring experience.
Complete with owner's manual this Riviera is luxurious, preserved,
and above all, quite interesting. It's time to attract all the
right attention in a very affordable time capsule. Call now!!
