The Riviera was introduced on October 4. 1962 as a 1963 model. with a base price of $4. 33. although typical delivered prices with options ran upwards of $5. 00. Production was deliberately limited to 40. 00 or less to increase demand.

With the same power as the larger Buicks and less weight. the Riviera had sparkling all-around performance: Motor Trend magazine found it capable of running 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 8 seconds or less. the standing quarter mile in about 16 seconds. and an observed top speed of 115 miles per hour (185 km/h). although 125 miles per hour (201 km/h) was feasible with a longer run. Fuel economy was a meager 13. 2 miles per US gallon (17. 8 L/100 km; 15. 9 mpg-imp).

Inside. the Riviera featured a four-place cabin with front bucket seats separated by a center console with floor shifter and storage compartment that was built into the instrument panel. and bucket-style seats in the rear. Upholstery choices included all-vinyl. cloth and vinyl. or optional leather. Popular extra-cost options included a tilt steering wheel. cruise control. power windows. power seats. air conditioning. AM/FM radio. and wire wheel covers.

The Riviera continued with minimal trim changes for 1964 including the discontinuation of leather upholstery from the option list. differing mainly in substitution of the old two-speed Dynaflow-based Twin Turbine for the new three-speed Super Turbine 400. which was marketed as Turbo Hydra-Matic by other GM divisions. This was the first year that the Stylized "R" emblem was used on the Riviera. a trademark that would continue throughout the remainder of Riviera's 36-year production run. Under the hood. the 401 (6. 5L) was dropped in favor of the 425 cu in (6. 96 L) V8. with 340 hp (254 kW). A 'Super Wildcat' version was optionally available. with dual Carter AFB four-barrel carburetors. rated at 360 hp (268 kW).

Total sales for the three model years was a respectable 112. 44. All in all. the Riviera was extremely well-received and considered a great success. giving the Thunderbird its first real competition. This first Riviera is considered a styling landmark. and is quite collectible today.
