Expensive and built in limited quantities, the 1982 Buick Riviera convertible was never meant to be a car for the masses. It may have ended up a footnote to automotive history, except for one thing: the luxury cruiser marked the first drop-top from GM since the 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible ushered out an era.
Each Riviera convertible began as a coupe before being shipped to American Sunroof Corporation for modifications that required 300 parts and 10 hours of labor to complete. The base engine was a 252-cu.in. V-6, rated at 125 horsepower and 205 pound-feet of torque, but buyers wanting more performance could opt for the 307-cu.in. V-8, rated at 140 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque.
