I've always loved this car's styling.
It really is a beautiful car..
Those are the coolest headlights, IMO. GORGEOUS sheet metal, especially compared to soon after with GM's awful huge clumsy 1970s Cadillac Biarritz, etc.
It's just gorgeous! Have you ever reviewed the 63 Grand Prix or the 61 Pontiac Ventura bubbletop?
I agree with you. That's the best looking Riviera. I'm 73 – I was 17 when this car was made. When I was 19, was dreaming about getting one of these. I never did, darn it.
Where the fuck you getting these cars !@?
This car is absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful exterior and interior. Never saw many of these. In general the Rivieras of that era were a rarity (at least in my memory), but I see some of this one in the boat-tail '71 my uncle had (and I actually got to ride in as a kid).
Hey my friend I was looking at your video of your 67 Buick Riviera the Black beauty and I do believe that spear has been on the ground once or twice because if you look at the rlm ? it has scratches on it from The hub Cap so that means it must have had a flat and they put the hubcap on it but if it's been on the ground it probably just went to get a new tire and that was all it wasn't used a lot because it looks brand spanking new? But for some reason it had the hubcap on it? Keep up the great videos The Great cars the great stories love them.
I might be the only person in the world this bothers, but the single leaf sprint at the back of the tornado is a real deal breaker for me. I love the look of the Tornado and think its the best personal luxury vehicle styling ever out of Detroit but you can not make a personal luxury car that can not control its back wheels. If I had the money to buy the Tornado I would call the local serious spring and axle people and see if they could reinforce that back and if they couldn't well then the 67 Riveria gets the award for the best Detroit personal luxury car. I don't expect Detroit to make a huge good handling car but it can not be just a sow also.
You do a great job. Thanks so much.
Absolute Beauty.
The speedometer was probably inspired by late 50's USAF cockpits. The F-105 had a "tape" airspeed indicator somewhat similar in concept only you could the scale was much larger so the pilot could see the acceleration/deceleration rate.
I happen to know Douglas, lol seriously, and he wouldn't care if you used the word quirk, he himself would agree he doesn't nor does anyone for that matter, own the work quirk. If anything you're helping not hindering his channel, so I don't care, people that do don't understand how the English language works lol!!!
Anywho, very nice example, and for whatever reason I suppose I just never paid it any attention, but you showed me something I didn't know or realize and that is it's headlights. I never knew they were a drop down no cover, unlike the 72 Dodge Charger or the 72 Lincoln Mrk III, I had one of those, and sorry I had to let her go, thing rode on a cloud!
Miles of hood, lol your hood would arrive 30 minutes ahead of you lol. But both of those had doors that moved and the headlights where stationary and always thought these were the same.
Another testament to how we have gotten bigger on roads and infrastructure, notice there is no passenger side mirror? That's because even in what was this 61, the roads were 2 lane or 1 lane and there was no need for you to see the other lanes or cars possibly there, as you change lanes, because there wasn't any lanes there to look into and no lanes there means no cars there and so no mirror there was needed. When you see an older car series start to hold a passenger side exterior mirror then you know you are looking at the start of more Lanes!
Love it when cars looked good and people dictated how a car will look and not the wind. Who cares about aerodynamics, lol I promise you it may not slip through like a Tesla, but it will get you there and noticed!
And yes, you are correct, that's how my Dad and I have put those on and I'm sure where the saying, "Com'on Boys, Put your Back into it," came from. And yup small and large dents or bent blades on those turbane hubs which always look good and you are correct it seems like they're ever where, and I am like you and tend to make my own trail.
Nothing wrong with those smooth hubs makes the car look timeless and classy, yet not a wimp, adds to the muscular look that strong silent type, and this Rivera definitely wasn't a wimp.
Thanks again โค
I very much enjoyed this video as my father owned 1963 and 1968 Rivieras. The very first time I was ever allowed to drive a car by myself was in the 1968 Riviera. I remember going 125 mph indicated.
During my High School years in the mid-Sixties it was an accepted fact that old guys drove Buicks. Cool old guys drove Rivieras.
I hope you people know Dennis Collins, I have a dream that this gentleman and Mr Collins have a 10 hr sit down , both are unbelievably knowledgeable. Both are car guys.
That's a good point about how hidden headlights often look kind of unfinished when the doors are open.
I agree this is the most finished execution I've seen!
I remember when i was 11 yrs old the toronado and Riviera was new they was a buick delership in downtown Atlanta called hixgreen buick the had a turntabile in front of the dealer.they always had a Riviera on it going around i would always have my dad drive by it i thought it was the most beatiful buick i ever seen thank for the memroies..๐๐๐
verry nice filming, great to watch !!! no hectic cuts or close ups !
super cool car – one of my favs of yours Adam
Beautiful ride my man. All your cars are awesome.
The oil pump design was terrible. Probably the biggest flaw in the Buick engine line up.
