5015-TPA 1965 BUICK RIVIERA

This 1965 Buick Riviera features rare electric-converted clamshell headlights - a distinctive one-year-only design element that defines this luxury coupe's identity. Finished in factory Burgundy Mist metallic with subtle gray pinstripes, this Riviera cuts an unmistakable silhouette on the boulevard. The substantial chrome bumpers and trim provide brilliant contrast against the rich paint, while the factory 15" Riviera wheels wrapped in 235/75R15 whitewall tires anchor the car with period-correct style. The tinted windows maintain privacy while completing the exterior's clean lines, and every panel aligns with precision - exactly what you'd expect from Buick's premium personal luxury coupe.
The black vinyl interior delivers plush comfort with bucket seats and factory console configuration. Rich black surfaces create a sophisticated environment where the driver faces clear gauges framed against a clean dash pad. The faux wood veneer adds visual warmth while the aftermarket wood steering wheel on tilt column gives an upgraded driving position. A retro AM/FM radio provides entertainment through rear 6x9 decklid speakers. The factory cabin lights illuminate the expertly crafted space during evening drives, while R134a air conditioning keeps occupants cool regardless of outside temperatures. The trunk area maintains factory cleanliness with a small spare tire tucked away for emergencies.
A mighty 401 cubic inch V8 powers this grand tourer, fed by an Edelbrock AVS2 4-barrel carburetor and mated to a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission. The engine compartment displays proper green-painted block and components, surrounded by fresh belts, hoses and wiring. A large aluminum radiator with electric fan maintains optimal temperature control, while power steering and power brakes make driving effortless. The dual exhaust system with manual cutouts allows for adjustable exhaust note - from refined whisper to authoritative growl. All mechanical components work in concert to provide the refined motoring experience Buick owners expect.
