1983 Buick Riviera

First introduced in 1963, the Buick Riviera stunned the world with its drop dead gorgeous styling, powerful engines and abundance of luxury. Jaguar founder and designer Sir William Lyons said that the designers had done "a very wonderful job," and Sergio Pininfarina declared it "one of the most beautiful American cars ever built; it has marked a very impressive return to simplicity of American car design." Soldiering on for another eight generations, the Riviera was the de facto flagship for the brand.

The 6th generation was introduced in 1979 and was the first from wheel drive Riviera. It was also the first convertible GM made since the Eldorado in 1976. All of them were sent to American Sun Roof Company in Lansing, Michigan where the top was removed, structure strengthened, and the final assembly of the top mechanism, rear seat, and interior was finished. Only 1,750 convertibles were made in 1983. These cars had a lot of interest, but did not sell many due to the price tag infringing uponm Cadillac territory.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1983 Buick Riviera Convertible for consideration. Finished in white with matching white convertible top, this Buick is in nice shape overall. The paint is pretty decent although the body has few dings and scrapes here in there. The convertible top is in good shape and the exterior features a rear luggage rack, dual spotlights, white wall tires with wire wheel covers, and quad headlights. The interior features nice maroon leather seats that are in good shape with just normal amounts of wear. The dash is uncracked and the faux wood trim is nice as well. This Riviera is powered by the upgraded factory option 5.0L V8 engine and automatic transmission. This car comes very loaded with features including air conditioning, leather seats, power 4-wheel disc brakes, power steering, power windows, power front seats with driver's memory, cruise control, power convertible top, and 4-note horn.

Recently out of long term 21 year ownership, this Riviera is well cared for and has received service work as needed.
