Introduced by Buick in 1963 as their top personal luxury car, the Riviera was one of GM Styling chief Bill Mitchell’s most innovative designs, ranking with the new Sting Ray that debuted the same year. The Riviera redefined the luxury category, breaking away from the Detroit pack with brilliant new styling cues and features such as frameless windows, the first of their kind. By 1965 the Gran Sport Edition was the top Riviera, with the most options and the most power. This completely restored 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport is an extremely rare high performance version with the dual-quad equipped Super Wildcat engine that produced 360 horsepower from 425 cubic inches.
Finished in scorching Flame Red paint, the car boasts a White on Black interior with power leather bucket seats, woodgrain console and power windows, all in the Riviera’s typically luxurious style; power steering and brakes, factory air conditioning and chromed GS wheels round out this fabulous Buick’s list of features.
