The 1995 Buick Riviera is a classic example of American luxury car design from the mid-1990s. This elegant coupe was a significant departure from its predecessors, boasting a sleek, aerodynamic profile that embodied the era's trends. Built on a shortened version of the GM G platform, which it shared with the Cadillac Eldorado, the Riviera boasted a distinctive, low-slung stance with a sloping hood, a steeply raked windshield, and a rounded, almost boat-like rear end. This unique shape, penned by GM's famed design chief, Wayne Cherry, gave the Riviera a futuristic feel that set it apart from its contemporaries. Power came from a potent 3800 Series II V6 engine, available in two variants: a naturally aspirated 205 hp version or a supercharged 240 hp option. The Riviera was known for its smooth ride and comfortable interior, featuring leather seating, wood trim, and a host of standard features including power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as an optional premium stereo system.

While the 1995 Riviera was a visually captivating car, it wasn't without its shortcomings. Despite its sporty intentions, the car's handling wasn't as sharp as some of the European competition, and some criticized its ride for being overly soft. The interior, while luxurious, was criticized for feeling somewhat dated compared to the more contemporary designs of the time. Despite these minor flaws, the 1995 Buick Riviera was a successful model for Buick, selling over 50,000 units that year. Its distinctive design, comfortable ride, and impressive powertrain made it a popular choice among luxury car buyers seeking a unique and stylish alternative to the more traditional options available at the time. The 1995 Riviera was a testament to Buick's ability to create beautiful and luxurious cars, even if they weren't always the most technologically advanced or dynamic offerings on the market. Today, it remains a cherished piece of automotive history, representing a specific moment in time when American car design was at a crossroads between tradition and innovation.
