Despite new body and design for 1949, when the 1950 model year opened up, Buick was there to greet it head-on and with a grille filled with huge chrome teeth. During the previous season a new body style had been introduced, the Riviera hardtop, available that first season only in the Roadmaster series. In 1950, a new Riviera was introduced in Super series for the first time, and with a base price of $2,139, it was nearly $500 less expensive than the Roadmaster. The public responded well; a total of 56,030 were produced, with this example having been well preserved. With just over 43,200 miles, it is basically an original car, finished in white over black, which looks to have been freshened a few years back. Interior appointments feature supple red leather seating, AM radio, deluxe heater, and clock. Buick offered high quality and high drivability in all models, perhaps none more than the Riviera. Well cared for with great looks all around, when this car is offered on the block you will have to ask yourself, "Wouldn't I really rather have a Buick?"
