Is it possible to make the Riviera of the 90s look pretty?
TheSketchMonkey is eager to start creating Riviera’s 8th generation. His photoshop skills can transform the boring Buick into a beautiful coupe like the original.
The new Buick Riviera personal luxury coupe was highly praised by the automotive media when it debuted in 1963. The Riviera was the first time that General Motors had used a custom-built body shell. The Riviera was lighter than the other Buicks, and had stiffer springs. This made it more sporty to drive than modern American cars. Buick reduced production to 40,000 units in 1963 to meet demand and give exclusivity to the new coupe.
The exclusive Riviera gradually lost its appeal over time. The Riviera became a common name that could be slapped on a coupe across all GM brands. Buick realized that the Riviera was no longer a viable option due to declining coupe sales during the 1990s.
This video was TheSketchMonkey’s most difficult task. It took a lot of planning and focus to transform the Riviera body into something you would want to buy. We will not see a new Buick Riviera, despite the fact that coupe sales are declining. However, I would be happy to buy it if it looked so good.
