Buick Riviera (1964) for Sale in MI

This 1964 Buick Riviera Sport Coupe represents one of the most iconic entries into the American personal luxury car segment, a market pioneered by the Ford Thunderbird. Designed under the direction of Bill Mitchell, the Riviera debuted in 1963 as a bold and sophisticated alternative, quickly earning recognition for its clean styling and refined performance. Finished in an elegant pale blue, this example has been refreshed over time while retaining its original character. The exterior showcases the Riviera’s distinctive “coke bottle” styling, subtle chrome accents, quad headlamps, and signature badging. Chrome wire-style hubcaps paired with whitewall tires complete the period-correct look, while the restrained use of brightwork enhances the car’s upscale presence. Inside, the cabin offers a classic 1960s luxury experience with white leather seating for four, complemented by wood trim and a metal-finish dashboard. The interior design is both stylish and functional, featuring a two-spoke steering wheel with Riviera badging, a push-button radio, and period luxury touches such as factory air conditioning and cruise control. Details like Fisher body plaques and period-correct trim elements further highlight the car’s heritage. Under the hood lies Buick’s renowned 465ci “Nailhead” V8, part of the Wildcat family, producing a factory-rated 340 horsepower. Paired with an automatic transmission, the drivetrain delivers smooth yet capable performance, well-suited to grand touring. Power steering and power drum brakes contribute to a comfortable and confident driving experience.
