Best looking car ever made maybe?

1971 Buick Rivera GS, this car is beautiful and in excellent condition. He came by today to have me replace his battery and I had to get some pics. 455 engine with stock ex manifolds and an Edelbrock carb. Sounds like it got a mild cam and sounds great. Interior looks like new and this car looks really nice. Paint is not perfect, it actually looks original and that for me adds a lot a of character and I'm digging the white walls. Thats not me in the pic,, that's the owner and a super nice old guy. Wishing I was on his inheritance list.

Saturn Sky.



Yup…. I said it.








Let me caveat that…. It’s the best looking American made car made in the last 40 years that doesn’t say “Corvette” on the side of it.

If you like the Saturn Sky, your going to really like The Mallett version or upgrade. Friend of mine used to work for them installing 500 Hp LS 7 engines and suspension up grades.

You're going to get in trouble with all the boys who (incorrectly) say "a truck's not a car".

Those are the guy's always calling a 'car' a "vehicle".

One of my fellow Boy Scouts dad’s worked for the local Pontiac dealer and drove a new one like that, I believe with a 455. He drove us to Scouts one night in it. Impressive torque monster.

We're pretty close on this one, I don't like the boat tail on the back though. My favorite is the 68-69 Riviera. I used to have one of each, both GS. they had the 430/4bbl under the hood.

Even more crazy is that they are hideously ugly with mediocre performance and yet some folks go all gaga for them. I guess there really is no accounting for taste.
Enjoy your IPAs.

So all knowing one what is this beautiful do all vehicle you speak of? I'm an 1/8th mile drag racing, coors light drinking, Newport smoking country boy and my foxes fit me just fine. Hate IPA's and never been considered tasteful.

Whoa whoa whoa.

What is this 2A Bourbon Hound tag and how do I get one?

If you are a 2A bourbon hound, then you do have some taste.

Thank you for not drinking Bud Light, you have some class too.

But IPAs are delicious and fox bodies are ugly so you’re wrong.

My father has a '79 that was my first car, that I will one day resto-mod to its former glory. My issue with identifying the best looking Firebird is that I'm torn between the '68 model year and the 72 Super Duties. If I'm taking a Super Duty, I gravitate towards the blue with the white stripe.

Not too long ago I helped a local lady in her 80's whose husband had died a few years back. She was cleaning things up and getting rid of things in anticipation of her own mortality. Her husband's estate was already closed, and now she was having trouble switching her name for her husband's on the title to "an old 1974 Pontiac 2-door sedan" that her husband had stored in the garage for the last 25-30 years. Turns out, it was a 1974 Super Duty. We got the title sorted and made sure she knew the potential value of what she had and the need for getting a proper appraisal. I never heard back what it appraised for.

Well of current production cars I’d really like to give this one a drive.
You will not be surprised to learn that I have no interest in drag racing or Nascar. I have never had a Coors Light, but have had a Natty Light, but only once when it would have been impolite to refuse.
Really, Newports?? I think I hear banjos.

Sounds like a similar situation to the car @Qball was working on getting years back.

No telling how many things are still sitting in back corners of barns.

Dang I love a 68 to 72...... my pops bought a gold RS with a black vinyl top and 350 auto new in 72. The prices are just crazy on them. I would love to have a strong big block with a glide and about a 500 shot to run some street/no prep with.
 
In my opinion this is one of the best looking cars of all times.
I had one like this (same color as this) - actually had 4 of them one red, one white, and one gray, but this was best looking one With the red a close second. Fantastic car and fun to drive.

71 and 72 were the 455HO and the 73 and 74 were super duty.
I am a diehard mopar guy but appreciate all the muscle cars. Love the 71-74 Trans am . Hard to beat in looks and don't need much for top level performance either.
 
If its gonna be a Buick needs to be a 1965 Riviera Gran Sport.

When I was 17, dad said he would help me buy a car.
There was a Dodge dealer on Peters Creek Pwky in W-S that had a '39 Deluxe with a 283 2 barrel.
I could never talk him into buying it.
