About the Buick Riviera (1963)
The Riviera of 1963 was Buick’s personal luxury coupé. It began as the XP-715, a Cadillac design project called the LaSalle, and its sharp-edged styling was inspired by GM design chief Bill Mitchell seeing a Rolls-Royce in London. Buick’s 401 and 425 cu in V8s powered it.
