The first Buick Riviera series was built between 1963 and 1965 and was designed as a counterpart to the four-seater Ford Thunderbird.
Originally, Cadillac was to produce this model as the successor to the "La Salle" model. However, because Cadillac had no capacity to do so, the order was then handed over to Buick by General Motors.
As a mixture of Rolls-Royce and Ferrari, the Buick Riviera was also to be found in the luxury market of Europe. There have been numerous innovations such as e.g. glued windshield and rear window, a new kind of metal gluing on the body and unusual, frameless door windows for an American vehicle. The Riviera has been awarded various design awards.
From 1963 and 1964 there were double headlights in the grill and in 1965 folding headlights at the corners. The body remained unchanged except for small details.
Engine:
V8 engine with 7 liters capacity and 340 - 360 hp capacity.
The model:
Greatly implemented by ACME and comparable to models of Highway 61. Numerous working details make the model.
The antenna is retractable, the sun visors movable, the glove compartment can be opened and the front seats are adjustable and foldable. At the rear the number plate is movable, underneath is the fuel filler flap. The vehicle is spring loaded and the detailing of the engine with its pre-designed hinges perfect.
The paintwork is flawless and the overall impression is perfect.
The model is limited to 630 pieces.
