Buick Riviera Specs and Generations

The Buick Riviera is an American personal luxury car built around long-hood proportions and a comfortable, road-focused character. Its identity changed considerably over the decades, so the right starting point is usually the generation itself.

Buick Riviera Generations

The Buick Riviera generations represented here include the Second Generation, the Seventh Generation and the Eighth Generation, offered in Coupe form. Choosing between them is mostly a question of era: styling, interior design and available technology shifted with each redesign, so it helps to pick the period you want before comparing individual cars.

Buick Riviera Specifications

Buick Riviera specifications differ sharply by era, so treat any single figure as belonging to one generation and version rather than the whole model. Gasoline engines power the represented range, while dimensions, transmissions and equipment follow the specific car you are viewing. Early coupes are notably larger than later ones.
