Riviera
(1968 - 1969)
The Riviera represented one of the most sucessful American attempts at capturing European styling and performance in a large car
The 1968 Riviera now shared body/chassis parts with the Cadillac Eldorado and the Oldsmobile Toronado but remained rear wheel drive while the other two switched to front drive
Production: 49,284 units
Engines: 430 V8 360bhp @ 4600rpm
0-60 in 8.1 sec.
The 1970 Riviera saw a disasterous redesign which added rear fender skirts and the elimination of the retractable headlights.
This fine example was raced and wrecked at the 2005 Icebreaker meeting at Kings Lynn were the Bears and Team Black met head-on
