Buick Riviera - car classics

Buick Riviera

Designed Jerry Hirshbergom Riviera 1971 issue - this is a departure from the conservative appearance Buick, which was associated with the previous models of this company. She was bigger and heavier than the previous model, and by the marvelous and unusual design, especially the rear of the model has received a nickname of В«monkey Buick. It was used chassis another perimeter, with the driven rear axle, independent front suspension and spring back. In the Gran Sport more hard springs, modified shock absorbers and powerful front stabilizer of transverse stability. At that time the fuel cost 30 cents per gallon and Buick did not hesitate, setting a major engine in the range of 7.5 litres, which with its large stroke gave a big torque. The car rather was a beautiful promenade car than a car with high exploitation characteristics. Model lasted for two years before the altered design of its exterior, then it is removed from the production process.
