Description
This car was registered for traffic in Sweden in May 1989. The most recent owner acquired it in October 1990. He was a well-known enthusiast and figure in the motor hobby scene for many decades, having started building Hot Rods back in the 50s. In his work, he was known for building roll bars, but he had comprehensive knowledge in racing, motor mechanics, and always took excellent care of his cars.
In 2009, he had Danielssons Bilservice AB refurbish the steering box, and the exhaust manifold gasket on the left side was also replaced. The same firm performed a head refurbishment in 2018, which included milling the seats, grinding the valves, milling the valve guides, checking the intake, and shimming the valve springs. Additionally, they upgraded to an electronic ignition system, new plugs, wires, and ignition coil. They also replaced the water pump and radiator hoses, as well as the oil and filter.
The car features a new vinyl roof and reupholstered seats by Alfa Bilklädsel.
Various documents and receipts are included.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Starts easily and the engine and other mechanics sound fine. There was no opportunity for a full test drive, but during a short drive around the yard, everything seemed to function well. As with all vehicles that have been sitting for a while, an inspection is recommended. It has not been checked on a lift, but what could be seen gave a robust and good impression.
-
Interior condition
The interior is in fine original condition with reupholstered seats. The door panels, dashboard, carpets, and headliner are also in good condition with some use patina. Instruments and controls are in fine shape. All electrical systems appear to be working, though the AC should be checked.
-
Exterior condition
Glossy and fine paintwork. Newer vinyl roof. Chrome, glass, lighting details, and other equipment are in good condition. Nice classic Buick wheels and good tires.
-
General condition
With its characteristic lines and “boat-tail” design, this is a classic and motorhistorically interesting car. Not only for its design but also for the Riviera era. In this condition, it is an appealing enthusiast and collector’s car.

Facts about the model
Buick began manufacturing cars as early as 1899, making it one of the oldest surviving automakers. When General Motors was formed in 1908, Buick was one of the brands in the group, positioned just below GM’s prestige brand Cadillac.
In 1931, Buick launched its straight eight-cylinder engine. Buick had experienced sales declines following the 1929 financial crisis and the early years of the 1930s. For the 1936 model year, a new body and style were developed, which became a sales success. The design was by GM’s giant Harley Earl.
After World War II, car manufacturing gradually resumed, starting with revised pre-war models, but by the late 1940s, new bodies were introduced. The 1949 Buick Roadmaster came in a Hard Top version, without a B-pillar, which was one of the first models to feature that design. The designation for these was Riviera. Initially, the Riviera name was not used for a standalone model. Throughout the 1950s, Riviera was used as a trim level. However, starting in 1963, it became its own model, classified as a “personal luxury car.” The new model quickly became a success. The two-door hardtop coupe featured sporty attributes such as individual front seats with a center console, powerful engines, and luxurious leather interiors. The design this time was led by GM’s styling chief Bill Mitchell, who drew inspiration from both Italian design and British luxury cars. The first generation was produced from 1963 to 1965. The second generation, with a larger body and more of a fastback look, was produced from 1966 to 1970. The third generation, introduced in 1971, featured the characteristic “boat-tail” styling at the rear. Besides that, the body became even more sweeping. The rear design was said to be a “reuse” of the styling from the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. The engine was Buick’s own 455ci, which, now with EPA emission requirements, produced 225 hp. With the Gran Sport package, it delivered 250 hp. The 1972??
