The 1964 Buick Riviera advertising slogan was Every Mile is an Adventure.

Buick introduced one of the most stunningly and beautifully designed cars ever. Yet Today it remains timeless and a benchmark of elegant in automotive styling. Introduced in the 1963 model year and ended in 1999. The Riviera Boattail model produced 1971 to 1973 became extremely popular today. Sadly newer versions fell out of flavor. Overall the Rivera had both urban elegance with performance to match. 

I purchased this Riviera and finished restorations in time for my 50th class reunion. What a more fitting car to show up in...







At the Hershey meet. I picked up the four OEM stainless steel spoked wheel covers with spinners along with the Riviera emblem in the center. They were NOS in factory packaging. One of the best fines in my life...







Quad Bucket seat no less! Stunning white interior.






The label on the air cleaner was marked "WildCat 465" But the standard V8 engine was 425 cubic inches that produced 345 Hp and torque of 465. Mine has the OEM Buick Carter AFB four barrel Carburetor. Option at the time was two four barrels...

The 63-66 Rivieras were such a departure in styling,  possibly matched by their attention to detail in assembly.  Worked on several at the time.  Those Buick engines were really tough too.  I got beat out of buying a 1972 with that distinctive back window, really hated missing that one, even though I was driving a 72 Skylark GS at the time.  I know the feeling of finding NOS parts for a project.  Last week a set of hubcaps and beauty ring's I needed for my 97 Chevy 2500 happened my way.
