Ever since the '95 Rivieras came out I've always wanted one. One of GM's best designs of the 90's and with a very cool retro yet comfortable interior. The last year of the Series I supercharged 3800 V6 and a 1 year only dash, radio and HVAC controls make my Riv even more rare given how rare the final generation Riv's are. I purchased the Riv in Feb '06 with 64,924 miles. In that time I've had some rather major mechanical issues and I've recently rebuilt the motor and transmission. Despite spending just shy of 8K on the motor and tranny work the car is still not running 100% and the transmission is acting up again and recently threw a code for torque converter clutch failure. The torque converter along with all the internals of the tranny were replaced in the rebuild less than 5K miles ago. I brought it back to Aamco and they claim "it's fine, shifts fine, come pick it up" Well it dosen't shift fine and rarely shifts into overdrive and when it does shift it's very rough. I hopefully can have this issue resolved soon while the work is still under warranty, but seems Aamco is trying to claim the car is fine so as to avoid costly work which they have to cover. But I digress, despite it all I still love my Riviera and hope to hang on to it for years to come.
It was my grandfathers car. My uncle was trying to sell it, but I told him I wanted it. Now it is mine! Too bad I don't know much about maintaining an old car! lol
1959 Buicks are amongst the coolest cars of all time, including exotic cars & the ultra rare stuff. They are gorgeous & very unique but their styling is just the tip of the iceberg.

Consider that, with its "canted quad headlights" it is easily the ANGRIEST looking car ever made, while being one of the most elegant & clean designs of the 1950s. Add that those huge Delta Wing tailfins, one of the most fascinatingly intricate instrument panels on a car EVER and you have the beautiful package that is unlike any before or since.

The frame of this beast is so over-built it reminds one of the German King Tiger Tank while the Nailhead V8 was a Legend in its own time and the Dynaflow "Twin Turbine" transmissions was decades ahead of its time!

The only thing my LeSabre lacks is a hardtop greenhouse since it's a 2-door Sedan, someday I might trade it for a 1959 Buick four door "FLATTOP" hardtop so that I can enjoy the lack of a B-pillar.
