My Riviera

[Brad97GS]

Well, I have posted all of these pictures before, but never in this section. So I will do that now...and maybe someday, when the weather isn't so crappy, I will have more pics to post. :) It's my '95 Riviera. In addition to pictures posted here, I have some at http://photos.yahoo.com/brad89ga

Finally, back in July my car was hit at some point during the night or while I was at work. The damage wasn't really bad, but it did leave some good scratches and a little crease. I took a pic of the damage, then buffed like crazy, and took another pic. I was happy with the results, even though that damn crease is there!

:thumbup2: Looks good, Brad, even with the passive racing stripe on the rear quarter. :(

I saw one of those like 2 months ago and thought buick came out with a new car, and i liked it, i guess there pretty old, very nice

[Brad97GS]

Thanks guys. :) I think the Riviera's styling has stayed pretty fresh through the years. Probably because of the smooth, clean lines it has. Incidentally, someone at regalgs.org posted a picture of the original ('66?) Riviera's interior, and it looked verrrry similar to the '95-'99 Riv interior. Pretty neat. :)

It's too bad Buick no longer makes this car, especially since it was their last 2-door. But I hear that it's possible the car will make a comeback. The Velite concept *may* become the Riviera. We'll see...

[Prospeeder]

Awsome, i think its one of the nicest buicks besides the Lacrosse

... I love the picture of the "LITTLE CAR" in front of the "BIIIIIIIG TREE" :lol:

[Brad97GS]

It does kinda make the Riviera look small, heh. In reality, it's quite a big car, compared to most made in 1995, anyway.... :) It is as long as, or longer than, my dad's '02 GMC Envoy.

how many miles you got on the Riviera since you love to drive.

[Subtle_Cynicism]

I wasn't crazy that it was a two door, but the backseat was pretty nice sized.

One of my girlfriends mom had one, a 95 I believe, and I loved the interior of that car to no end, especially the seats.

[Brad97GS]

IMO, the Riviera *must* be a two door. It has always been a two door, Buick's top car. Reserve the four door status for the Park Avenue and Lesabre. The interior is really nice, I agree. Very comfortable!

Will, my Riv has about 142k miles on it. I bought it in April with 133k. So I really haven't been driving all that much. Lately it seems like I drive it to work and back, and that's it. I racked up miles on the old Regal because, at the time, my girlfriend lived about 3.5 hours away. Now she lives 3 minutes away. ;) So I don't have to drive as far...plus, my Regal had 171k when I bought it. :)

thats a smooth clean looking buick.

Thanks. :)
