1989 Buick Riviera Burgandy

First introduced in 1963, the Buick Riviera stunned the world with its drop dead gorgeous styling, powerful engines and abundance of luxury. Jaguar founder and designer Sir William Lyons said that the designers had done "a very wonderful job," and Sergio Pininfarina declared it "one of the most beautiful American cars ever built; it has marked a very impressive return to simplicity of American car design." Soldiering on for another eight generations, the Riviera was the de facto flagship for the brand. The 7th generation model featured GM's 3800 V6 and front wheel drive. It was noted for its extremely advanced electronic instrumentation displayed on a dash-mounted 9-inch CRT screen. Just 21,189 examples were sold in 1989.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this time capsule 1989 Riviera for your consideration. With just three owners and 71,587 original miles, this example is one of the nicest ones out there. Finished in what appears to be Ruby Red Metallic, this car has a very sharp look. The body is very straight and has great chrome, wire wheel covers with whitewall tires, metal top, and a nice pinstripe. The red velour interior is stunning and in amazing condition. Nearly no wear or tear is present and the seats are free of fading, rips, or stains. This car has tons of revolutionary features such as the central touch screen that controls the radio, dual zone climate control, trip computer, as well as showing auxiliary gauges, fuel economy, and other important information. The drivers gauges are also electronic and have tons of available information and can even switch between metric and imperial measurements. Other notable features included power seats, power windows, power locks, one touch trunk and cool windshield wipers that spray washer fluid directly from the blades. Other features included automatic load leveling and a tilt steering wheel.

Fitted with the 3800 V6 and an automatic transmission, this Riviera is a smooth cruiser and is supremely comfortable. You will be hard pressed to find another example in such good condition. While not as desirable as early Rivieras, you can't help but like this example.
