Reviews

Remember the panache and flair of those Rivs, how they so beautifully combined performance, style and class? This informative book documents three generations of Buick's luxury grand tourer, including the concept cars. You'll find unpublished photographs, advertising material, road test and performance data and factory specifications - all the details enthusiasts enthuse about. - Highline Autos. We enjoyed the period adverts and photos, which are characteristically American: bright, cheerful and retro. There's no denying the Rivera is one of the most striking cars of its time and there is a decent potted history of the 1963-73 model here. - Auto Express. A welcome arrival for a model that is little-covered in the UK. Quality photography is backed up by plenty of intriguing archive, and there's a useful history lesson before model year changes are explained, as well as a look at custom models. - Classic & Sports Car.If you ever wanted to know more about the development of the barge that appeared in Due South, Mort's book delivers. - Classic Car Weekly. a fantastic addition to your hobby area reference materials. - IPMS/USA Journal. A great read! - Classic American
