Although a "junior member" (since may 2003) not really "wet behind the ears" .... My first Buick (after several other US-cars) was a '75 Riviera back in 1984. A daily driver at the time and without any problems I drove this car for two winters. I know some of you will understand when I say, "I fell in love with that car" But due to wife and kid I had to sell this drive. For 18 long years I had nightmares ('bout selling the car) and sweet dreams ('bout having another one). Eight months back I found another 75 Riv for sale on the internet here in The Netherlands.... without any hesitation I bought the car..... and no regrets!!! This winter a repaint and back on the road in March. I'm aware that many of you dislike this model (75-76), but still I hope to find some more '75 and '76 enthusiasts here on V8Buick (didn't find them yet ) with a daily visit here, cheers, Robert
sweet... all the big glory. I also dig the texas plate behind your countrys plate. I'm sure you'll find some help and some people who love em. let me welcome you to the board Nate
sweet pic. I'd be afraid to see the 2 of those rivs in the rear view when your used to seeing the smaller euro/imports Nate
another Riviera ! Wouldn't you really rather have a . . . Riviera ? Welcome to the Buick people! :beer :TU:
Robert, Your car looks great! I really like the 1975 Buicks. The best car I ever had (and I still have it) is a 1975 Electra. I think it is even less popular than the 1975 Riviera but what a nice car to drive! I also prefer the 75's interior and dashboard to the 1974. I know that most people won't agree with me but that's a matter of taste!
If its got RIVIERA on it, I love it!! We've got em from 63 all the way up to 97. As I recall, many did not like the 70 when it arrived. Boat-tails were met with mixed reviews. 66 through 69 were said to be too heavy, so it is all a matter of opinion.
Got me beat!! I personally only have a 70 and a 71 Skylark GS. My father and brother have the others mainly in the 60's. One day I may afford the cars I want, but for now, I wait from paycheck to paycheck!!!!
You better get yourself a V8............. <img src="http://www.chevythierry.com/images/2003/20031019-Oude-Voertuigen-Dag-Boekelo/images/Boekelo071.jpg"> Be good John :TU:
