Buick Riviera

These babies were blessed

When you drive up in one of these beauties people stop to look and comment. I found my Riviera and bought it for $800. This was more than just a form of transportation for me. When I was in the car, I felt that nothing could go wrong, unfortunately things did continue to go wrong. I was constantly fixing something on the car. If it was any other car, I would have just given it up and taken it to the salvage yard. Instead tragedy struck and I was involved in an accident. My car was written off and I actually bought back the salvage rights for my car. That was about two years ago. Why do I want to get it back on the road? Simply the Buick "boat-tail" Rivieras are one of the most unique cars, the epitome of the 70's land-yacht automobiles and Buick blessed these babies with their big block monster 455 cubic inch V8s. They will go very fast in a straight line and paint a permanent smile on the face of the driver.
