Welcome to Sketch Competition #13!

Posted Image


Buick has had a long and storied heritage of beautifully-crafted automobiles. Top of the line Buicks have long been heralded for their timeless designs - Roadmaster, Electra, Riviera, Park Avenue.

Now, its your turn to create the future.

Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to create a flagship vehicle for Buick in the near future. This can be anything from a sporty roadster to a fullsized sedan. Perhaps you may want to recreate the Riviera or Electra. Its up to you. Your sketch should include at minimum 2 (two) of the following:

-3/4 Front View
-3/4 Rear View
-Interior View


Remember, people will be voting based on the overall presentation of your entry, so the more views, the better, including ones not specifically listed above. Also, if you want to include special features, by all means point them out!

Aside from 800x600 size guidelines, remember this must be a Buick vehicle.

The winner will recieve a GM-related prize!

Deadline is Tuesday, Janaury 23rd @ 11:59PM your local time.

Good luck! :CG_all:

Draw! You've got a week! And they're usually pretty lenient if you're late.

2010 Buick Riviera.

My two favorite Rivieras are the early 70's boattails and the last generation. I tried to put them together in the context of a very modern four door coupe version.

Damn, I forgot about this, I'll try to sketch one out real quick tonight

since Thursday nights are wicked hectic. I've done a few craptastic

skribbles in the past based on the '59 E-225 Riviera.

On a side note if one more person posts a PILLARED SEDAN here

and calls it a RIVIERA I'm going to blow a gasket.

Riviera originally stood for HARDTOP. It was the car that ushered in

the hardtop era. (1949-1978) and as we are witnessing a GM rebirth

of sorts we need to stop butchering names. There's nothing wrong

with a four door Riviera, but regardless of how many doors it has it

MUST NOT have a fixed B-pillar.

THESE are true Rivieras:

And that's all I'm going to say about that. :twocents:

So, 1964-1999 Rivieras are all fake. Ohkay.

Since this is a design contest submission thread, I'm not going to carry this on any further than pointing out that Buick itself didn't take your definition as gospel since they chose to forego it and name an entire model line after it. A Riviera is a large, graceful luxury coupe and since the loose definition of 'coupe' seems to have lost all meaning these days with the CLS and X6, then why not bestow a beautiful name on a rightly-beautiful car?

Just hammered this out durring the rerun of the "Mega Streisand" episode of S.P.

The best looking Buick since the 71-72 Boat tails was the LaCrosse concept. :wub:

God i want to give up life now. I cant do wheels or interiors lol it looks like the back tire is a dough nut on the back and it looks like it has a penis shifter.

Any way this is supposed to be a realistic 2 door zeta based on the holden caprice

I choose Riviera Type-T cause a V12 engine. 6 ports. I know its not right terminology but it sounds cool

oh well maybe i will get one vote.

Althouth it was just subconscious if anything I think

my design came off as a lame imitation of the

beautiful (2000?) LaCrosse concept car.

The coolest four door hardtop concept of the 1990s &

one of the coolest modern concepts cars of all time,

second to the Cadillac SIXTEEN of course...
