I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1985 Buick Riviera 2dr coupe.

[John_S_in_Penna]

I have a 1985 Riviera myself, though in a 

seldom seen gold color.  It's currently having

its bumper fillers replaced, as this example

needs.  These Rivieras are competent,

reliable cars, and I think the curvaceous

lines are attractive:

John, you've got a great looking Riviera!  '79-'85 was a good period for Rivieras. Lot's of choices of engines; V6, V8, and turbo V6. Even a convertible. This white car looks good with a red interior. These are popular with Riviera guys.

My favorite body style during those years. 

[gibsongin60]

the interior looks good .

[plymouthcranbrook]

It does look really good. But is that a piece of the body missing from the lefy rear near the bumper?  When I expand it it looks that way but is somewhat blurry so I can’t be sure

I think the rivieras look the best out of the trio - El dorado, Toronado, Riv.  Dad wanted a Toronado really bad and I remember going to the dealer with him to look at them. I even had the sales brochures for awhile. He also looked at the Riviera but he was an olds guy. It was going to be moms car primarily and she wanted 4 doors so he ended up with a lincoln.

Those fill in panels around the bumper are fragile from age and break.  This car needs to have new ones installed.

And thankfully, those filler panels are available

for many, many General Motors cars, even

obscure ones.  The replacements are fiberglass

or ABS plastic and often don't fit perfectly, so

they have to be modified a bit in the shop.

 

It's only the GM cars whose bumper fillers I have

seen deteriorate and break.  Maybe Ford Motor

and others used a different material.
