Det som jag vet är att de högra sidorutorna kärvar. Bakre sidoruta har klivit av "rullen" och är fastklämd. Främre funkar hjälpligt. Finns ett skrapmärke någon cm vid högra sidoblinkers.
Bilen går oförskämt bra. Känns som en vanlig bruksbil att köra och tack och lov för servon.

Buick Riviera 1971 var något som Buick folket trodde på
när den presenterades i en press release Tisdagen den 22 September 1970. Man var så säker på sin djärva design att man
kallade det en Triumf inom bildesign.
Har du upplösning
så att Du kan läsa Pressmeddelandet så förstår du deras stolthet inför
presentationen av denna bil.
Vi vet att de fortfarande har rätt. En av de mest Lyckade och samtidigt vågade design för folk
med vanlig plånbok är Buick Riviera 19
tom 1973 och där den djärvaste på 71:an
med spetsigaste front och akter och enda årsmodellen som dessutom hade gälar på
bagageluckan.
Kolla in hur de presenterade Buick Riviera i broschyrerna.
Lördagen 3 Oktober 1970 visades bilarna för första gången och man sålde 33810
exemplar av den och om man kollar in bilderna så nog ser man att den passar väldigt bra i GuldMetallic.
Det sägs att de bästa drömmarna är i SvartVitt och nog
träder linjerna fram extra bra utan en massa färger som stör, tom det frästa
spåret i barutan blir tydligt. Gillar du
det du ser låt din dröm bil bli till Verklighet.
Bilen hade all möjlig extrautrustning och vill man
montera mer grejor finns det mesta på ebay som man kan köpa och montera.
History
A sensational new A sensational new Riviera debuted for
1971. A large car with a boattailed rear roof and window section and sweeping
side sculpture greeted 1971's Riviera customers. Wheelhouses were wide open
after a year of skirted fenders. Riviera shared Full-Flo ventilation with other
Buicks and had the louvers on the deck lid. Standard features were numerous and
included heater and defroster; Custom padded contoured seats; deep pile
carpeting; electric clock; smoking set; head restraints; new seat belt system;
inside hood lock release; variable power steering; TurboHydramatic; power front
disk brakes and dual exhausts.
Note: A Gran Sport option was available for the Riviera.
Cars so equipped had a 330 horsepower 455 cubic V-8 with chrome air cleaner top
linked to a specially calibrated Turbohydramatic 400 transmission; heavy duty
suspension; positive traction differential; H78 x 15 Bias Belted whitewall
tires and Riviera GS monogram on front fenders.
What happened at Buick's....
Robert Kessler
The design was selected while Kessler was general
manager, but Lee Mays was in charge when it was introduced. Mays publicly
called it "a classic new design that is a triumph of automotive
styling." Privately, however, he hated the boattail Riviera and spent much
of the rest of his Buick career trying to get rid of it. "Sure, people
liked it, some people like anything,"
Mays: "I could never find anyone who admitted they
designed it."
Lee Mays
Jerry Hirschberg
The designer (our hero)
Jerry Hirschberg does. Hirschberg, later chief designer
of Buick Studio 2 where the larger and intermediate Buick are designed,
acknowledges that he was responsible for the Boattail Riviera, trying to
interpret a concept of GM styling chief Bill Mitchell's.
Bill Mitchell
"It is a peculiar car to look back on," says
Hirschberg. "Bill Mitchell was the prime mover of the car; he wanted a
classic. The boattail was my first big assignment as chief designer of advanced
Buick, and I threw myself into the work." Click here to read the comment
of John Houlihan in our guestbook from 07-18-2000. John was part of Jerry
Hirschberg's design staff back in
1968 !!
"At first it was supposed to be on a smaller body,
the A-body. But then it was built on the B-body, and that didn't help. On a
smaller car it could have been kind of interesting. It was one of the more
painfull exercises I've ever been through. The car looked slighly eccentric.
But so would a Corvette if it were the size of a Cadillac. I will say I have
taken a gentle ribbing around the office about it, but the car did have aspects
I like myself. Mitchell wanted a classic. And to Bill's credit, he liked a
little controversy. Too often, we are intimidated by all the regulations. But I
think te boattail was a mistake." (editor: thát thinking is a mistake!)
Ned Nickles Ned Nickles agrees. From a styling viewpoint, the boattail Riviera,
he said "was a disaster and the ones the next few years after were no
good." But there are people so fond of the cars that they carefully
restore them.
Kessler today says he thinks the boattail was a
"nice, distinctive car" but that Buick didn't do a good job of
marketing it. The last word goes to Mitchell, who comments: "What hurt the
boattail was to widen it. It got so wide, a speedboat became a tugboat".
Some owners:
We like these cars just because they are so big and
strong. They pull like a freight train. The lines are classic compared to other
71-73 cars.
They did a great job at Buick,
Jerry: we're proud of what you made!
Andra kommentarer om Riviera 1971
Comments: The 1971 Riviera featured one of the greatest
styling excercises
in automotive history. Dubbed "the boat-tail,"
the look was supposed to draw
upon stylish cars of the 1930s, but putting the design on
a 218 inch length,
122 inch wheelbase, 4,247 lb car resulted in a look that
buyers either loved
or hated. Sales dropped to 33,810, though this might have
also been caused
by a downgrade in the engine department. General Motors
had decreed that all
its engines had to run on unleaded gasoline to meet
stricter emission
standards and thus the 455 engine was detuned, down to
315 bhp. The 455
engine in GS models were rated at 330 bhp and included
the usual performance
equipment to go along with that power. Performance did
suffer, with the top
speed falling to 120 mph.
Production: 33,810
Engines: 455 V8 315 bhp. (GS) 455 V8 330 bhp @ 4600 rpm,
455 lb-ft @ 2800
rpm.
Performance: 455/330: 0-60 in 8.1 sec.
