This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. Its 364ci Nailhead V8 was overhauled, the Dynaflow automatic was rebuilt, and the car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red, a color combination that perfectly suits the car’s sweeping chrome and oversized proportions. Buick’s signature Sweepspear moldings run along the body, while fender-mounted Ventiports, a bombsight hood ornament, chrome-visored headlights, wraparound glass, tail fins, and massive chrome bumpers make sure there is no mistaking this for anything from a later era. Through-the-bumper exhaust exits are another fantastic period detail. The car rides on 15-inch steel wheels with red-center chrome covers and Coker Classic whitewall tires, while an Air Lift Performance system with dual VIAIR compressors and an aluminum tank allows the stance to be tailored without taking away from the Roadmaster’s traditional appearance. The interior of this 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is trimmed in Rust and Ivory patterned cloth with coordinating vinyl and features front and rear bench seating. The power-adjustable front bench seat, power windows, Hot Rod Air climate-control system, Wonder Bar AM radio, clock, dual dome lights, and chrome headliner trim give the cabin the kind of upscale atmosphere expected from Buick’s flagship line. Details such as the airplane-throttle-style dashboard controls, ribbon-style 120-mph speedometer, color-coordinated DeLuxe steering wheel, and chrome horn ring are wonderfully theatrical and help make the cabin just as memorable as the exterior.
Engine
Under the hood sits Buick’s 364ci naturally aspirated Nailhead V8, rated at 300 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque and paired with the distinctive Dynaflow automatic transmission. The engine was overhauled during the refurbishment, while the transmission was rebuilt, giving the car’s original-style drivetrain renewed mechanical attention. A 4-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust system, and electric cooling fan round out the powertrain specification, while power steering and power four-wheel drum brakes make this substantial coupe easier to manage from behind the wheel. The Roadmaster was never meant to be a lightweight sports car; its appeal is the effortless surge of Nailhead torque, the smooth character of the Dynaflow, and the sense of occasion that comes with piloting one of Buick’s most extravagant hardtops.

Arguably the most famous Buick nameplate of all time, the Roadmaster name can be traced back to 1931. Representing Buick's flagship between 1946 and 1957, this particular 1947 Buick Roadmaster Convertible is a fine example of what well-heeled buyers at the time were treated to. This car is a fine time capsule with most of its original fittings, including some interesting factory features. If you buy it, you'll be buying not only a fantastic classic car but also a great investment and slice of American automotive history.
Buick's Roadmaster nameplate has etched a place in automotive history, making sporadic appearances over the decades. The 1956 Buick Roadmaster Model 73 Riviera Hardtop, a testament to the brand's legacy, has stood the test of time, showcasing the allure of classic American automobiles. First introduced in 1931, this flagship model, hailing from a time when Buick was synonymous with excellence, exudes timeless elegance and style. Imagine the pride of its first owner, acquiring a top-shelf Buick fresh from the showroom floor. This meticulously preserved 1956 model has traveled a mere 51,650 miles, meticulously cared for by its current owner.

The 1972 Buick Gran Sport is a great example of why Buick’s muscle cars have always had their own following. Where some competitors leaned almost entirely into aggression, the GS mixed real V8 performance with a more polished, upscale feel, and this 60,979-mile example captures that balance nicely. Finished in Burnished Copper with a Black vinyl roof over a Black interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 and 4-barrel carburetor with a TH350 3-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. The equipment list is especially appealing for an enthusiast cruiser, with power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, a full-length console, Rallye steering wheel, tinted glass, chrome-plated wheels, and period stereo equipment all part of the package. It has the visual presence of a proper early-1970s muscle car, but with the comfort and restraint that made Buick’s Gran Sport line feel a little more grown-up than the average stoplight bruiser.
The 1984 Buick Riviera Coupe comes from an era when personal luxury cars were all about presence, comfort, and a sense of occasion, and this example delivers that character in a particularly period-correct package. Showing 41,329 miles, it is finished in Light Sand Gray over a Burgundy velour interior and powered by a 307ci V8 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The padded Burgundy vinyl roof, burl woodgrain trim, split front bench seat, column-mounted shifter, and Riviera hood ornament give it the unmistakable look and feel of an upscale 1980s Buick, while air conditioning, power accessories, and the Concert Sound audio system add the comfort expected from the nameplate. It is the kind of Riviera that appeals less through outright performance and more through its relaxed cruising character, distinctive styling, and richly finished cabin.

This 1971 Dodge Charger Restomod Super Bee Tribute brings together the aggressive third-generation Charger shape, period-inspired Super Bee styling, and a thoroughly updated big-block drivetrain. Showing approximately 62,213 miles, it is finished in Vitamin C Orange with a Black vinyl roof and Black interior, while the current owner reports that the car underwent a rotisserie build. The centerpiece is a 440ci V8 fitted with FiTech electronic fuel injection and a Mancini Racing Six Pack intake, backed by a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic and an 8¾-inch Sure Grip rear end with 3.55 gears. Add in the N96 Air Grabber system, AMD bulge hood, Rallye instrumentation, Slap Stik shifter, and Super Bee graphics, and this tribute captures the visual attitude of Mopar’s muscle-car era with a more usable modernized fuel system.
With just 1,025 miles showing, this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is an extraordinary low-mileage example of one of the most important American performance cars of its era. The first-year ZR-1 paired the C4 Corvette’s unmistakable shape with the sophisticated 5.7-liter LT5 DOHC 32-valve V8, a ZF 6-speed manual transmission, and unique wide-body hardware developed to handle its increased performance. Finished in Black over a Black leather interior, this example retains hallmark ZR-1 equipment including the dual-mode engine power system with its Full-Power key, Selective Ride Control, staggered 17-inch directional aluminum wheels, and removable targa roof panel. The approximately 1,025 miles displayed are the defining feature here, making this a particularly compelling example for the collector or enthusiast seeking a first-year ZR-1 with remarkably limited indicated use.
