This Buick has that typical early ‘50s dash/instrument panel flair. It would appear that there is no mat or carpet on parts of the floor but at least you get a look at the floor’s integrity and decide how best to repair the aforementioned rust. The seat upholstery looks OK but the door cards will need some work in terms of recovering or replacing. The interior looks a bit worn but pretty much in keeping with this Riviera’s age. The open, breezy appearance of the pillarless hardtop coupled with the wrap-around three-piece rear windscreen makes for a balanced, sweeping greenhouse panorama that has a touch of sophistication to it – it’s one of the best from this era in my humble estimation. This was a stylish car in its day actually, it still is really. There is a minor dent in the driver’s door and rust in the driver’s side floorboard (floor pan will require replacement) but the rest of the car, rockers, lower fenders, etc. Moving on to the body, that dreaded “P” word is visible on most of the horizontal surfaces but the body appears to be intact and pretty solid. No worries however as he has a complete other set that is included in the sale. The seller also states that this Riviera has been converted to a twelve-volt electrical system but he doesn’t know if the dash gauges were damaged as a result of the conversion. Gear changes are handled by a Buick Dynaflow automatic transmission.
Being a Super, and not a Roadmaster, it has a smaller engine and thus only three portholes (“Ventiports” in Buick vernacular) instead of four placed on either side of the hood. There are no images of the engine included in the listing but research indicates that this Buick came equipped with a 124 HP in-line, eight-cylinder (straight-eight) engine displacing 263 cubic inches. The seller tells us that the car is complete and can be driven. This Riviera has been sitting in storage in New Mexico since 1986 and apparently starts and runs. It is out-front and there is no mistaking it – it is one heck of a grille! One of the most recognizable features of the 1950 model is the “snaggletooth” or “walrus” grille, whichever you prefer. There were about 56,000 Super-based Rivieras produced in 1950 so they were fairly common. Size mattered and the Roadmaster Riviera rode on a 130.3” wheelbase – that’s a lot of Buick! This Riviera, however, is a down-sized 1950 addition “Super” Riviera based on the Buick Supermodel with a 125.5″ wheelbase. The Riviera name was introduced in 1949 as a two-door hardtop trim level of the Roadmaster, that being the top zoot-suit Buick of the time.
