Overview of 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera For Sale by Owner

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. 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. 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.
