The only body style or Riviera I was never crazy about. Even when I was young I thought they looked like a fancy LeSabre. But this one is a beauty! Hard to beat the 60s, boat tails and finally the 79 - 85.

@johnpartipilo1513 Жыл бұрын

This Riv is on the B Body platform, the same as the LeSabre, so it basically is just that. The 403 engine and the 4 wheel disc brakes were options specific to the Riv.

@anonlarson2875 Жыл бұрын

I like them because they are rare. Only made 2 years. However, you can tell by the instrument panel and dash that it is a fancy 2 door LeSabre or Electra 225.

Me either I liked the ones before it the 76 and back and the ones after it 79-85 after that it's hit and miss for me

I had an 81 & an 85 Buick Riviera...talk about "deep ride"! The suspension makes you feel like you're floating down the road. My Mom said (from the back seat) that it was the most comfortable car she'd ever been in. Another person said my back seat was more comfortable than her living room sofa. I put big miles on them too. GREAT CARS!

Like this Riviera, with the exception of the green dash and green carpet!.. Would have been exceptional in a light gray!....Owned a new gorgeous 76 model and an Elegant 79 , that just still looks timeless today!....

I had a black 78 that I bought in 81 when I was 21. Black paint, black landau roof and black interior. Got some kidding from friends for having a gangsta ride but insurance was less than getting a sport or muscle car. A real plus was that it was a great car for dating in. Back seat was like a couch.

The 1978 REVI was the Flagship luxury coupe with a sticker price higher than Buick’s most popular luxury sedan, Electra Park Avenue. The Rivera was in my opinion the best thing Buick offered because 1977&78 was a downsizing year for GM. It was more in keeping ahead with the newest improvements, such as four wheel disc brakes, suspension improvements, electronic controls temperature or climate control and unique Rivera design. This was the airline pilot, young doctor and lawyers type of American made car. They look drive and handle better than most of the competitors. (Chrysler couldn’t compete and Ford downsized its Thunderbird to a cheaper version of years past). I owned many GM vehicles from 1976-1990, regretfully I never owned this Revi design but I did drive it while contemplating buying one.

@craigdoriety9798 Жыл бұрын

When I was 21 in 1981 I bought a 78 that was triple black. Wanted a Trans-Am but couldn't swing the insurance cost at that point so I "settled" for a luxury car. I was fresh out of college and dated a lot of young ladies in that car. It was really the best choice for me at that time. It was very reliable and just an all around great ride. They were appointed as well as a Caddy and some interior parts such as door panels were the same. There were indicators for the front lights located in little housings on the front fenders to show when headlights and turn signals were operational. Same thing for rear lights and brake lights to small indicators located at top of rear glass on the inside. It was done by using fiber optic cables. I thought that was pretty cool considering the time period. I still think of that car a lot and wish there were still some personal luxury coups being made by American companies. Paid 5500 for mine with about 30,000 on it.

The rarest Riv. Only 2 model years. Don't like it as much as the next FWD gen but this thing in white is hard to ignore. Add those rallys and it is gorgeous to no end. And that mileage! 45 year old car with only 18,000 miles. Too late to put mileage on it. Or use it as a weekend only cruiser. Outstanding!

I have never seen a car with a white interior have a green dash and carpet. Most white interior cars had black dash and carpet. This Riviera interior is rare indeed.

@dankukulka8008 3 ай бұрын

Yes, I would agree the white with green dash and carpet were rare. I personally find this combo attractive! My dad was a big Buick Electra guy. He and I spent lots of weekends at the local Buick dealership in the late 70’s and 80’s looking at vehicles. I would argue the suggestion most white Riviera’s had black carpet and dashboards. Instead, they would have had burgundy dashboards and carpet.

Looks good but under tighter scrutiny.... Fuel gage needle appears to jump back and forth during the drive, right turn signal may not be operative and if mine eyes do not deceive me... did I not detect a fair bit of overspray when he opened the hood?? Could this be a repaint?? I'd have to have hands-on/in person look before I dropped 30 grand on one. It'd a beauty, but possibly only skin deep, as they say??

Beautiful condition. Not the most popular Riviera generation, though. The following generation, the 6th, was a smash hit. This generation looked too much like a 2-door LaSabre, and the 2-door Electra looked more grand.

Holy smokes it's pretty!! What are the date codes on those old Firestone 721's? They look brand new! Someone is getting a very nice machine. Is the headliner sagging or is it button tufted for appearance? I couldn't tell.

Beautiful, in 78 I had da same car with da Oldsmobile 403. Limited slip, Astroroof, VOGUE tyres, 4 wheel disc, for a luxury coupe it was quite Sporty. LampMonitors,chrome wheels. I truly missed it. Didn't like da nextyears fwd setup. My interior was red. When better cars are built Buick will build them. 🇺🇸 man U can eat off Ur engine compartment.
