For many enthusiasts\u2014ourselves included\u2014the most enjoyable car shows to attend offer more than just the opportunity to ogle other peoples\u2019 shiny vehicles. We love car shows that include a for-sale section, where we can peruse cars and trucks that are available to buy and bring home. That\u2019s what the Rhinebeck Car Show offers in May each year, with a genuine corral stocked with automotive treats for sale. Among the classic and vintage vehicles on offer at the most recent show was a genuine, if little recognized, piece of U.S. automotive history.<\/p>\n
General Motors made a big deal about the 1976 Cadillac Eldorado being the final new domestic drop-top, and for a spell, it was. But with a change of decade came a change in attitude, and Buick jumped back into the convertible game with crucial help from the American Sunroof Company: the 1982 Riviera personal-luxury coupe would be the first American car to go topless again in official production form. The ASC-converted Buick was a pricey prize for a lucky few, its MSRP of nearly $24,000 starkly contrasted the $14,468 charged for a base, solid-roof Riviera. An example of that special open car\u2014according to the Rivera Owners Association, one of 1,248 built that year\u2014had people talking in Rhinebeck.<\/p>\n
While this generation of Riviera was offered as a convertible through 1985, the example we spotted was a low-mileage, little-touched survivor from the initial year. Head-turning in white over a Maple red interior, it wore the more popular of the two paint colors the car came in (Firemist Red was the other). This car\u2019s power-operated black vinyl top was a wrinkle-free replacement for the white original, and the optional 15-inch chrome road wheels added a sporty look. Its well-appointed interior looked very tidy. As the windshield writing noted, the car\u2019s optional four-barrel-carbureted, 140-hp, 307-cu.in. V-8 and column-shifted four-speed automatic overdrive transmission had given around 60,000 miles of service. There was precious little to critique: minor creasing was visible in the front-seat leather, the Buick\u2019s body-color impact-bumper filler panels were a bit wavy (typical of a GM product this era), and purists might object to the changed color of its convertible roof. <\/p>\n
While this Riviera opened the door to a new generation of domestic convertibles, it\u2019s reasonably accessible in today\u2019s collector-car market. Recent selling prices have varied considerably depending on mileage and condition: Hemmings.com sold a pristine, sub-22,000-mile white example as a Make-Offer listing in July for $31,500<\/a>, while an original-condition Firemist Red 70,224-mile \u201982 brought $17,640<\/a> though Hemmings Auctions in August. Classic.com notes six other public first-year Riviera soft-top sales since 2018, five of which were less than $10,000. Online value guides suggest \u201caverage\u201d values fall between $6,000 and $11,000; considering the recent sale results and this car\u2019s desirable options, we feel the asking price was fair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Asking price: $14,900<\/p>\n Seller description: \u201c60,000 miles, Real Convert, Top Goes Down\u201d <\/p>\n Known issues: None<\/p>\n Why buy?
