The first-generation Riviera remains one of the defining American luxury coupes of the 1960s. Few American classics carry the presence and design significance of the original Buick Riviera. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful American coupes ever produced, the 1963 Riviera combined understated styling with effortless V8 power and quickly established itself as a design icon of the era.

Finished in timeless black over black, this striking example has been lovingly cared for by its current owner for the past nine years, during which time it has been garaged and meticulously maintained. Showing just 43,769 miles on the odometer, the vehicle presents beautifully throughout and offers the sort of presence only a Riviera can deliver.

While retaining much of its original character, the Riviera has benefited from thoughtful upgrades to improve drivability. The original transmission has been replaced with a modern automatic unit, offering improved gearing and a more relaxed cruising experience. Performance has also been enhanced with the addition of twin four-barrel carburettors.

Mechanically, the vehicle has received significant investment, with over $30,000 spent on engine rebuilding and suspension upgrades, including updated shocks. The work was completed by professionals, with extensive receipts available documenting the investment made.
