And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Wow, that is about an acre and a half of hood there. A short driver would have a hard time seeing the pavement. Mom had a 77 Ford Thunderbird with same issue.
That is a 1968 or '69 Buick Riviera. One of the three best looking cars ever produced in America, the other two being the 1966 Olds Toronado and any year of the Studebaker Avanti.
68 riviera. Rear wheel drive. I find the 64 rivis with the clam shell headlights and the boat tail rivs to be the best looking ones.
Go over to lateral g and search riviera. You will find a stock appearing 64 riviera with the power of a late model corvette. Nothing on that site is cobbled together, and are all high end builds.
That an Toranado or a Riviera?......
ReplyDelete68 Riviera
DeleteFront wheel drive decades ahead of its time.
ReplyDeleteToronado. Riviera was smaller.
ReplyDeleteMy Uncle had one. I loved riding in it as a kid.

ReplyDeleteThe chrome ID badge behind the front wheel well has the correct number of letters for Riviera, but not for Toronado.
ReplyDeleteit is my opinion that every major American company produced car in 1932, 1957, and 1969 was a classic design. this reinforces that belief

Remember hearing these sold poorly and were considered ugly. Anyone else confirm?
ReplyDeleteMaybe for the time they were ugly? Personally I find them gorgeous
Around 67 to 69, while not exactly ugly, they weren't as good looking as their predecessors or as good looking as the boat tail era.
ReplyDeleteAfter 73, they were plain gawd awful ugly.
