  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1991 Buick Riviera. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    Just registered my 91 Riviera. Bought from a 93 year old that bought it brand new. It was always stored in the garage. It's a beauty, red with half leather vinyl top. This car has no dents and no rust with perfect paint. The driver seat had a tear. I put seat covers on. This car has 131,600 miles and runs great. The head liner is dropping and needs to be glued back up. This car is a beauty with a perfect exterior. Soon it will be almost as sweet on the inside.

    There is such a strong character and unique styling built into these vehicles, that it nearly takes my breath away. The lovely thing is, that's probably sells very cheap too, due to the cosmetic blemishes, even though it isn't rusted at all. I'd just remove that ragtop, and have the whole car painted.

    What an interesting dashboard. First time I've heard of this car today (not being American) but I saw one today here in Europe and found it fascinating.

    Hoping to buy one of these cars tomorrow, fingers crossed its still available. It's my dream ride, that or a Cadillac Deville circa 90'. Thanks for the tour!

      Got the car, it's in great condition! Absolutely beautiful piece of machinery, heavy yet it maneuvers like it weighs nothing at all. The engine purrs like nothing I've heard before, couldn't be happier with my purchase.

    This is arguably the best car Buick ever built. My mom bought a 1990 Brand New. It has over 300,000 on the 3.8 V6. Original Engine and Transmission. The only thing she's ever replaced is the Alternator. She still drives it almost everyday, and it still runs pretty good. Looks exactly like this one, only red leather instead of blue. These cars actually costed more than Jaguars when they first came, because my mom was either going to buy this or a Jag. She made the right choice with this.

    Thank you for sharing Kyle. It is appreciated. That car can be fixed easy. The headliner, power antenna , the exterior paint and vinyl top will solve cosmetic issues. That seat can be redone too. The you have to check the engine and mechanics first. Thanks for the video.

    I own this exact same car but in red (including interior) and in better condition. Also I don't have a vinyl roof and my radio is different. Also your radio antenna on the all bent and damaged. Mine is still perfect and even goes inside the car when the radio's not running.

    I've never understood why some car manufacturers will make a seat power adjustable in ever direction but a really important one - recline. Never made much sense. Oh, this Riviera has power recline; for the passenger? Great review as always Kyle...

    I'm pretty sure that the Riviera (and the Reatta) got an interior redesign in 1990, which added the driver's airbag but did away with the touch-screen system.

  • @allenchristo8766
    @allenchristo8766 8 років тому

    Anyone know how to set the time on the clock? I recently developed a problem with the interior lights. The problem is, they will not turn off. Anyone know how to fix that? I had to pull the fuse for that function. Now I have to use the key to unlock the doors instead of just pushing the button on the key chain. It's not the biggest problem but, I'd like every thing to work the way it was designed. This is my baby. I only drive it in perfect weather on the week ends. I bought the car from the original owner with 131,600 miles. Two years later I'm all the way up to 134,300. Pretty soon I'll catch up with that mileage with my daily driven 1995 Buick Century.
