  The Riviera model was debuted as Buick's entry into the personal

  luxury car market. Throughout its production, Buick produced 8

  different generations of the Riviera. 1979 marked the first year

  for the sixth generation of the very popular luxury car and with it

  came a numbers of first's for the brand. 1979 was the first year

  that the Riviera was built on a front wheel drive platform (making

  it the first front wheel drive car to ever be produced by Buick)

  and it was the first year that forced induction, in the form of a

  turbocharger, was made available on the Buick Riviera. These

  changes and added features to the Buick Riviera paid off for Buick,

  as the Riviera S-Type was selected as Motortrend's Car of the Year

  for 1979. This 1979 Buick Riviera S-Type is an excellent, collector

  grade example of these great automobiles with just 8800 original

  miles showing. This Riviera presents in overall excellent,

  unrestored condition sporting its original Medium Blue Metallic

  exterior paint. The Medium Blue exterior shines extremely well and

  is in excellent condition. Complimenting the exterior is the

  Riviera's factory chrome and stainless trim and factory wheels

  fitted with their correct factory polished wire wheel covers

  wrapped in Uniroyal tires. The Riviera's factory Blue cloth

  interior is in excellent condition throughout. Powering this

  beautiful Riviera S-Type is its correct 185HP turbocharged 3.8

  liter V6 backed by its 4-speed automatic transmission. Both the

  engine and transmission perform just as they should and pull this

  Buick down the road with ease. This Buick Riviera S-Type is very

  well equipped with factory options such as: bucket front seats with

  center console, power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, tilt

  steering, air conditioning, automatic level control, power front

  seats, AM/FM stereo w/ 8-track, power antenna (in-op), tinted

  glass, power door locks, power windows, remote trunk release,

  intermittent wipers, rear defrost, cruise control, and dual remote

  sideview mirrors. Included with the sale of this well preserved

  Buick is a large collection of original paperwork including:

  original window sticker, original new car order form, original bill

  of sale, 3 factory build sheets, original owners manual, original

  warranty information guide, original registration, service log kept

  by original owner, original Oklahoma inspection from 1979, and

  original Oklahoma Excise tax receipt from 1979. If you are in the

  market for a very original and collector grade sixth generation

  Buick Riviera or are in the market for an extremely low mile and

  turn-key ready classic that would present very well at any car show

  or cruise-in, then you will want to take a very close look at this

  exceptional and rarely seen 1979 Buick Riviera S-Type.
