1963 Buick Riviera

This 1963 Buick Riviera is an Arctic White hardtop coupe powered by a 401ci Nailhead V8 mated to a two-speed Turbine Drive automatic transmission. The Deluxe interior is trimmed in blue leather and vinyl, and the car is equipped with wire-style wheelcovers, exposed quad round headlights, power windows, power front seats, rear bucket seats, a Sonomatic AM radio, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, and air conditioning. Acquired by the current owner in 2025, this Riviera is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean California title.

The pillarless hardtop coupe body was factory-finished in Arctic White, and exterior equipment includes quad round headlights, a tri-shield hood ornament, a remote-controlled driver-side mirror, faux quarter panel scoops, chrome bumpers, and dual exhaust outlets. Blemishes in the paint and trim are shown in the gallery below.

The 15″ wheels wear wire-style covers and are mounted with 225/75 Hankook Optimo narrow-whitewall tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front and rear drums.

The Deluxe interior is outfitted with front and rear bucket seats factory-trimmed in blue leather and vinyl. Interior appointments include wood door trim, power side and vent windows, a Sonomatic AM radio, air conditioning, cruise control, and both USB and Aux inputs housed beneath the ashtray lid.

The two-spoke steering wheel sits on a tilting column and frames a 140-mph speedometer, an analog clock, a fuel-level gauge, and warning lights for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 73k miles.

The 401ci Nailhead V8 is equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 325 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Turbine Drive automatic transmission.
