Buick Ad From 1965:
An almost impossible thing happened to Riviera on the way to ’65. It got even better.  Far as Buick’s concerned, there’s no limit to how good a car can get. Buick has always put more into its cars-and ’65 is no exception. The accent is still on plus-quality engineering, design, styling.  And if it means that we have to spend a little more to give you a little better-we do.  Always did. And we did this year, too on this Riviera-on the shielded headlights, for instance. Camouflaged by masks that flip open wide at the touch of the light switch.  Like we did in adding a hill-climb range to our Super Turbine transmission.  Buick cares more. Does more. And Buicks ride quieter, smoother. Be our guest. Wouldn’t you really rather have a Buick?​


About this Car:
This Gran Sport remains in impressively original and unrestored condition. Iconic Bill Mitchell Styling. Formerly the property of Max Balchowsky. When you sit in this car you can tell instantly how special this car is.  You can just feel it in your bones. Definitely one of the big guns among collectible Sixties and high on the list of every serious investor in the marque. Milestone car status. Coming out of a beautiful collection where she was very well maintained.
