Here are some highlights of an article I recently wrote and was published in the Riviera Review: On November 12, 1982, The Buick News published by the Buick Motor Division Public relations staff made this announcement: “A classic Buick Riviera Convertible, powered by an ultra-sophisticated twin turbocharged 4.1 liter (252 CID) Buick V-6 engine, will pace the 67th running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 29, 1983. The 1983 pace car will be the third to use a V-6 engine. And the first two also were Buicks – 1976 (a turbocharged 3.8 liter Century Coupe), and in 1981 (a naturally aspirated 4.1 liter Regal Coupe). Buicks also paced the race in 1939. 1959 and 1975.” The same Day, another announcement from the BMD, was issued regarding the Parade Cars: “As part of its commitment to provide the actual pace cars for the 1983 Indianapolis 500 race, Buick also will supply a variety of support vehicles for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the 500 Festival and other purposes. The only will be two actual pace cars—Riviera Convertibles in cream and tan, powered by special electronically controlled twin-turbocharged Buick V-6 engines. The support vehicles will include 1983 production Riviera convertibles in white with red leather interiors. These will be used for the Festival parade and other ceremonial functions. From Wikipedia: “The Riviera convertible was available in only two color choices-white or red firemist with the only interior color of red leather. A twin-turbocharged Riviera convertible was chosen to be the pace car at the 1983 Indianapolis 500, tuned to produce 410 hp (306 kW).[27] Most convertible Rivieras had the V8 engine, which saw an increase in rated SAE net HP to 150 for both convertibles and coupes fitted with it from 1982 through the 1985 model year.

Thus began 1983 with a myriad of new opportunities: The Buick Riviera Convertible selling 1,750 copies @ $25,035 each ($68,830 today); the XXth Anniversary Riviera – 500 built with a cost new of $21,861; and the 60 Indy 500 Parade cars, used along with the two 1983 Pace cars built for this special event. Parade car number one had price tag of $26, 965 and was assembled at Linden, New Jersey. Car # 1 went to Mari Hulman George, the family that owned the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. # 2 President of the IMS and # 3 to Mayor W, H. Hudnutt, III. Other cars went to various dignitaries, local businessmen and politicians. Ours is car 54, the number found on the back of the rearview mirror. Buick also created a limited run of 500 coupes to celebrate two decades of Riviera’s existence. In the end, 502 were built. All examples featured a two-tone cream and tan paint job, upgraded leather and velour upholstery, walnut wood, badges of 24-karat gold, four-wheel disc brakes, with actual wire wheels. Door trims were unique to the model, featuring a single slab of walnut. Previewing the ’84 model year, the XX had a slightly revised grille design not seen on other trims. This package added an additional $3,759 to the price of the car. Thanks to Ralph Coulter and the Riviera Review for their assistance! JB
