This is a 1965 Buick Riviera from Maisto, done in 1/26 scale. The '65 Riviera featured some cool hidden headlights, supposedly done in the manner that was originally intended by Buick and GM until slowed down initially by production issues.

The Maisto Riviera is quite inexpensive but nicely done. The hood and doors open, although it could possibly benefit from re-sized wheels/tires and perhaps a few tweaks here and there.

Thanks ! For many years, Buick Rivieras were powerful and attractive RWD American personal luxury cars. I understand that originally the early Riviera was designed as a possible Cadillac project, perhaps called LaSalle.
