Description
Buick Riviera | 1974
Highlights:
– 7.5-liter V8 engine
– Automatic transmission
– Factory-installed sunroof
– White vinyl top
The 1974 Buick Riviera is known as one of America’s iconic “personal luxury cars,” equipped with the 7.5-liter 455 V8 engine that guarantees smooth power and comfortable cruising. This model combines Buick’s luxury ambitions with typical 1970s styling, including a long wheelbase and extensive equipment. The example you see here is an honest, basic car with signs of wear commensurate with its age. The paintwork and chrome show signs of age in several places, and the interior, with its characteristic red velour, has visible wear, making restoration desirable. A great opportunity for enthusiasts who want to customize a Riviera to their own taste.
On the exterior, the red paintwork stands out in combination with the white vinyl top – a classic color combination for this generation of Riviera. The car sits on period-correct wheels and features options such as a sunroof and a richly appointed dashboard with wood accents. Inside, the red velvet blends seamlessly with the exterior, though the seats and upholstery demand attention. The overall experience offers an authentic 1970s experience.
