1971 Buick Riviera

The Buick Riviera is a personal luxury car produced by Buick from 1963 to 1999. GM's first entry into that prestige niche, the Riviera was highly praised by automotive journalists upon its high-profile debut. While early models stayed close to the original form, eight subsequent generations varied substantially over the Riviera's thirty-year lifespan. In all, 1,127,261 were produced. The Riviera was radically redesigned for the 1971 model year with flowing and dramatic "boat-tail" styling.

Finished in Charcoal Gray over a brown leather interior, this Boat Tail Beauty shows well for its age. Highlights include power windows, Cragar wheels, power brakes with discs in the front, power steering, air conditioning, cruise, tilt wheel, AM/FM/Cassette player along with a CD player, bucket seats and center console.

This nice Riviera is powered by the smooth 455cid V8 mated to an automatic transmission. Net output was 225hp, which was more than sufficient to move this large cruiser. The 3rd generation Riviera is still a highly desirable American classic.
