Most car guys agree that the first-generation Buick Riviera is one of the most stunning designs of the ’60s but who says you can’t make a great car better? This spectacular 1965 Riviera custom is a persuasive argument that proves that great design never goes out of fashion. Hailing from Texas this zero-rust Riv was stripped to bare metal and refinished from there. The iconic shape gorgeous creases and above-average build quality all remained with the car and aside from a modest shaving of emblems it is just the way Bill Mitchell envisioned it. Heck it’s probably even closer to the car in his imagination now than it was sitting in 1965 showrooms. PPG supplied the paint system including the tinted primers and multi-stage urethane Copperhead Pearl Metallic paint that give this Riviera its spectacular shine. And the ’65 Riv is the one to own with its unique clamshell headlights a one-year-only setup that had been planned from the start but only technically feasible in ’65. All the chrome and stainless has been restored to show condition including those headlight doors and it presents a stunning contrast to the brilliant copper paint.
