If you're both a "Road House" fan and a lover of Rivieras, you cringe every time the bad guys trashed his daily driver. Patrick Swayze's character seemingly found a ready supply of replacements for all the damage. The 1965 Buick Riviera offered the A-9 GS or Grand Sport Package powered by a 360hp 425 cid 'nail head" "Super Wildcat" V8 that gave this heavy car 0-60 times just under 7 seconds. A "Road House" look alike in Burgundy recently sold for $121,000.

This is the same car as the Brooklin Collectors Club in the UK are doing for their 2021 club model. It will be a beauty.

Wish this was one done in diecast and not in resin. I would have been all over it. Love the car enjoyed the movie.

I normally change my desk display models over every couple of weeks but my Buick has been sitting here for about 3 months now. Great model of a great car.

Excellent colors. I bought the blue version. It's not bad, but the model is not the best effort in my opinion.

I think the blue you bought is both the prettiest and most period, to my tastes, of the lot.

Still remember as a 19 yr old in 1965 working at a upscale Buick dealership in Mpls sitting behind the wheel of one of these gorgeous cars and driving it around the lot. Lol

I have a green one, not my most desired color selection, but I got it at good price.
