When new, these svelte cars were expensive,

well above the average person's car budget.

Now they're bargains, about the value of a 

used Ford Taurus!

 

For car fans, depreciation can be wonderful.

That is a striking color!  I don't think I've seen another Riviera in that color combo before.  Is that the Olds 307?

Yes, Doug, I imagine it is the Olds 307. So-so power for the nice and heavy Riviera. We've had a '79 Riv with the BUICK 350, and an '85 Riv with the 307. The 350 did a much better job of getting the car off the line, and for passing power at highway speeds. The 307 is O.K., but the 350 is that much better (as I see it). Not trying to start a feud with anyone on the forum! John
