I have no pics of my 1980 Buick Riviera online yet, but I will someday (soon).

My car has pastel baby blue fenders and front header panel.

My Riviera is an 80. Which came with a Buick-built 155 horsepower 350 V-8, power windows, locks, seat, antenna, steering, brakes and trunk opener, safety-courtesy (red and white) door lights, tons of inside lights, electronic digital speedometer and fuel gage, air conditioning, self-leveling rear shocks all standard. But my car has more than that, my car was ordered with the Landau vinyl top-Opera Light package, bodyside pinstripes, wire wheel covers, fiber-optic outside light monitors, cruise-control, delay wipers, "Old-School" Electronic digital cassette tape player, fully electronic Trip Monitor (multi-function trip computer), Twilight Sentinel automatic headlights, lighted visor mirrors, power passenger seat (both front seats are electric adjust), and dual electric power recliners.

The car rides like a cloud, is quite powerful, and is quiet as a cemetary.

I have some pics here, of other peoples cars.

The first car (the tan one) looks nearly identical to mine. Except from the previously described off-colored parts.

The others are just clean 79-85 E-Body Rivieras (all FWD, probably mostly 307 powered).

First Update May 4 - In an effort to keep the dashboard (and entire car) looking as stock as possible, I installed a stock digital cassette player (that actually works and plays) from an 82 Cutlass Supreme Brougham coupe. I replaced alot of inside and outside bulbs so now all but the decorative outside opera lights work. But they aren't actual bulbs. They are a special type similar to fiber-optics, called ElectroLuminescence. I also bought new hydraulic hood lifts which I'll have to install right quick.

Thanx

Hey bro. Sweet Riv. I have a 1983 Riviera which, from your description is a lot like yours. But I didn't know that the 1980 Rivs' came with digital speedometers. Mine is just a normal speedometer. You should put up some pics, I'd love to see them. Peace.

Hey thanks for the compliments on the cimmaron. I think the most amusing thing about my car is all the gremlins it has. I can get a nice mental image of your car. Sounds extremely sweet.
