Model history

The third generation of the Buick Riviera, which was built from 1971 to 1973, is particularly impressive with its striking "boat tail" rear end, which is reminiscent of classic sports cars from the 1930s. Under the hood, a powerful 7.5-liter V8 engine with up to 250 hp provided superior power reserves and relaxed cruising. Thanks to its extravagant design and powerful performance, around 100,000 Riviera vehicles were sold in the three years. The combination of luxury, performance and eye-catching design makes the Buick Riviera a true icon of American automotive history.
