Tell me what you like about it.

@@devrickparks2446 How do you like your 81 Riviera? Isn't the Oldsmobile 5.0 kind of slow? I think that generation is beautiful.

@@devrickparks2446 You have great taste by the way.

@@johnnysalazar5399 Sometimes it is just the fuel pump relay going bad. Check that first. I experienced that on one of my 1995 Fleetwoods.

Yes, the last TRUE Cadillac.

@@milesdyson well it is not supercharged. It is spritely but cannot escape Earth's gravity. But is more zippy and powerful than the previous generation Riviera's Oldsmobile Rocket V8, the 5.0 307. What a boat anchor that engine was.

Thank you. I love driving it.

@@michaelr4063 Thank you.

@@Teemancan I prefer the driving experience of the last generation. I love the looks of the 1979 to 1985 Rivieras, but damn, that 307 Oldsmobile engine was a boat anchor. My favorite Riviera that I once owned was a 1967 GS.

I wish mine had a red interior. The negative reverse image of yours.

@@deanfarr3249 Yes, the series I is the most durable iteration of the Buick V6 ever.

The bar must be removed. Easy peasy.

@MostlyBuicks thanks. I have a 1993.

Thanks.

@MostlyBuicks I have a 1993

@@rickymack2611 Yes, that is bound to happen eventually.

@@davidzappe9481 thank you.

@@jdel2315 Or a Reatta with a back seat.

then you dont know cars...completely different chassis and style...owned both, they didnt drive or ride alike...unlike all the ugly suvs/trucks that are now being produced..

@SuperBooboo02 Regal, Grand Prix, reatta, Monte Carlo, 90's are all slightly cheaper version W-body... Luminas got the beefier subframe however. The only good riviera they ever built was the '62-76' models...sorry bud

@@louisroy66 Danger Will Robinson danger, danger.

I feel your pain

The Cadilac STS is a beautiful car. Yours benefits from NOT having the infamous Northstar.

​@@MostlyBuicks Wish the Northstar had been better. Great power delivery tho.

That's the f*ck.

​@@MostlyBuicks The way people do politics in the US is just so goddamn weird.

Yep, in the 90s, Buick and Cadillac finally grew out of the malaise period of the 1980s.

Of course! Cadillac was saddled with the HT and Northstar. Can't hold a candle to the Buick 3800!

The original Riviera was to be Cadillac's LaSalle. They turned it down because they already had their hands full with their production output.

@@don7680 Thanks for your input.

I think the whites complement the car well. Not a huge fan of the gold tracer; I think a double white would look cleaner. But that's just me.

@@noscwoh1 I agree. I would prefer that these Vogues did not have the yellow stripe. In fact I wish Michelin offered a full range of whitewalls like they did 20 years ago. Vogue does make the "Classic White" 235 R75 15 that I have on my wagon with a single 2" stripe. Too big for these smaller cars. There are several companies that make 235 R75 15 thinner whitewalls such as Hankook. But I do like the ride Vogue provides. Most company's whitewalls turn a bit brown in short order. Vogues stay nice longer.

@@BLBoyd Are you making a joke? Even I think I spent too much time on the wheel story. But since I started the story, I had to see it through conclusion.

These tires were new radials that emulate the look of the originals.

Yes

@@travishackney7771Well that would hold true for the desert portions of AZ. But it wasn't from AZ anyway. Yes, even junkyards with cars from the 1950s have rust free cars, save for the surface rust from the sun baking all the paint off the sheet metal.

I do not remember what car I pulled the shifter from. I did the same thing on my 97 Riviera. I would not mind having a 1991 Reatta Coupe or a 1990-1992 Cadillac Allante with the hardtop option.

@@MostlyBuicks I put a shift knob from olds intrigue in my 1996 Riv (the money pit). I just sold last month my 1992 Allante, barely driven in 9 years that I had. It was always garaged because of soft top only. I have to say great quality car! Excellent road handeling both Reatta and Allante. The hardtop makes the difference here in Europe a must have. Lot of rain and bad weather…😌 Not much sun like your Bearizona🙂

All turtles are gummy inside their shell.

It is a hell of a lot better than chair cheese.

🤣🤣🤣

😂

You are not alone.

Here's a person with great taste in cars!

Thank you. More importantly, I am on cloud nine when driving it.

Wow that is quite a compliment. Thank you.

@@MostlyBuicks Very welcome. I've really enjoyed the videos!

Hey. I already saw your video. Beautiful FWB. I made two comments just now. The Roadmaster tow package was the V92 good for 5000 lbs. The 94-96 Fleetwoods had the V4P towing package option, good for 7000 lbs. BTW neither actually came with a tow receiver. That is strictly aftermarket. Yours had the receiver but not actually a tow package.

@@MostlyBuicks Thank you! Okay… that’s starting to make mire sense. Someone told me the vin wasn’t right for having a tow package… but I couldn’t imagine anyone adding it. Huh. After the original owner, this car had three owners and three years and must’ve had an interesting life in that time . The goal is just to get it back to stock, but I am switching to ceramic brake pads as the brake dust is driving me nuts… something you mentioned in one of your roadmaster videos I think

Good technique!

Thank you. What I do not like about the Fleetwood is the license plate has to be held or wedged open to fill your tank. The Roadmaster's stays down when you open it.

Wagon or sedan? Wagons have a few options that the base model sedans did not, such as twilight sentinel and cornering lights. And, to tell the truth, I am much less familiar with 1992 and 1993 Roadmasters. My dad had a 1992 Roadmaster Limited sedan though.

@@MostlyBuicks I have a sedan.

@SteezeCartel Does it have leather?

@@clayornelas7537 cloth

@@SteezeCartel odd I have a collection of lesabres and you can have a base model but with and option it can add leather/twighlight sentinal/power passenger seat, and a few minor things.

In Mother Russia the accent sounds like you.

Thank you. Who knows the ways of UA-cam's algorithm? And since I do not, I do not know how to manipulate it. But each subscriber is precious and appreciated.
