From the time Buick was introduced to the market, especially the North American market, it was known for its luxury and was marketed as a uber-premium brand. One of their more memorable and distinguishable models is the Buick Riviera, produced from 1963 to 1993 and then from 1995 to 1999 under nine distinct generations. The Riviera, marketed as a personal luxury car, gained its name from the Italian translation of coastline. Up for grabs is a late sixth-generation 1985 Buick Riviera Coupe with 122,600 miles on the odometer.
This 1985 Buick Riviera Coupe features an almost black-looking blue exterior finish. The owner reports that the car was repainted around four years ago to the car's exact color code, hence the nearly perfect paint look. The Riviera has a certain styling that harkens back to the gentlemen's club of the 1970s and 1980s. The front features a formal fascia with quad rectangular headlights flanking a chrome vertical grille. Lower, you can see the chrome front bumper. A quick look to the sides will show you a return to chrome on the side skirts, while the rear is host to stylish vintage taillights. The car is graced with chrome wire wheels with the Riviera logo on the center caps. The vehicle also hosts "Riviera" branded splash guards on all wheels. The interior features Velour seats finished in a swanky blue color. The dash, doors, and floor feature the same color, while faux wood trim is present on the previous two. The center console features the original radio and air conditioning controls. The owner reports that the air conditioning is in functioning order. The car also features the original steering wheel, with a bit of wear and tear on it.
An Oldsmobile-sourced 307ci V8 engine powers this 1985 Buick Riviera Coupe. The 3-speed automatic transmission transfers energy to the front wheels. A certain amount of mechanical work has been completed on the car, including the installation of a new water pump, new belts, and new hoses, as reported by the owner. The current owner also reports the stock exhaust and an Air Ride suspension.
Buick's crack at the burgeoning personal luxury car market of the Sixties, the Riviera, made its first appearance in 1963. It saw eight generations of production until 1999 when it bowed out after over 1.1 million were made. This 1964 Buick Riviera Coupe is a fine example for someone wanting to get into the Riviera lifestyle and sample true Sixties American luxury. With 54,000 miles on the clock, it's had some work done and needs a bit more as well. Thus, it's the ideal car for someone seeking a classic as well as a weekend project.

Ford’s Thunderbird kicked off the personal luxury car craze, also known as the Grand Tourer. Buick jumped on the bandwagon with the Riviera in 1963. Named after the picturesque French Riviera, the nameplate would see a run until 1993, with a short resurrection from 1995 to 1999. The first-generation Riviera has also been the subject of the 2008 Croatian film Buick Riviera, about a Bosnian man and his connection with his Riviera. If you’re after a first-generation Riviera, this 1964 Buick Riviera Sport Coupe is a fine choice, as it appears to be in great condition inside and out.
Buick’s midsize offering from 1973 to 2004, the Regal, entered the market just as the Malaise Era was getting started. So, instead of moaning about the stringent emissions and economy regulations, Buick made it a bit more upmarket than segment contenders. Then, the second generation came about in 1978, bringing with it fresh styling and a station wagon body style. Then, in 1982, the Grand National trim came out, to celebrate Buick winning the Manufacturers Cup in 1981 and 1982 for the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National. Buick proudly advertised the car as “What wins on Sunday sells on Monday”. Up for sale today is a 1985 Buick Regal Grand National, but one that’s been extensively modified. The car pushes a four-figure horsepower digit at the wheels, and the current owner proudly tells us that it does a 5.2 in the 1/8th at 131mph. Want more figures? How about an 8.4 in the quarter mile, passing the line at a staggering 161mph? Furthermore, this build has just 4,500 miles on it, and comes with some creature comforts that make it a viable regular car when required.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
If one were to hear the brand name Buick, what would spring to mind are some of the most impressive classic cars in history. An interesting fact about Buick is that it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors. It was founded more than a century ago and granted the world with fascinating automobiles that are coveted today. The Buick Special, otherwise known as the Series 40, is a model line produced by the company that was usually its lowest-priced model. In the year 1940, Buick marketed their year lineup as new and improved, and our subject, the 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Coupe, was among them.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
Say hello to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. You may be familiar with the name; after all, it’s one of the most iconic cars out there. It was a proper performance car that took the Camaro name to new heights. One of the downsides of this kind of fame is that imitators are aplenty — not all Camaros bore the SS moniker when they left the showroom. However, our featured car is reported to be a true SS. Moreover, it’s undergone a complete restoration to bring it to its current condition.
Would you like to own a vehicle that’s a sports car and a pickup truck rolled into one surprisingly stylish package? Well, that’s what the Chevy El Camino has been offering for several years, until it bowed out in 1987. This interesting body style provided the ride quality and handling of a car, paired with some load-lugging capabilities more atypical of pickup trucks. Called the Coupe Utility segment, this would go on to become immensely popular in countries such as Australia and South Africa. So if you’re a Coupe Utility fan, check out this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino SS with just 5,000 original miles that we’re selling right now. The current owner reports that it’s had a recent oil change, and comes with a maintenance manual, plus an original car cover to keep it safe should you need to park it outdoors.
