Wheels Day – 1972 Buick Riviera, Adam Pearce

Now if you’re thinking this car and owner look familiar, that’s because our heat-winning car appeared in Classic American in February last year (issue #358) and was in fact the cover car. Owner Adam Pearce cut his American car-owning teeth with this bodacious Buick and hasn’t looked back since. “I just love driving it!” he enthuses. As befits Buick’s top of the tree model, it’s dripping with all the bells and whistles Flint could shoehorn into their flagship. Power comes from a four-barrel 455cu in V8 and of course there’s power steering and power brakes, as well as air con. That dazzling Burnished Bronze paint sure will look a treat on the Classic American stand at the NEC in November, so make sure you go along to check out this beautiful Buick and meet Adam!
