Premium X issued this ‘71 Buick Riveria some years ago. It’s a beauty. A birthday gift from my son David a few years back. Hard to tell the actual car from the one in 1:43.

Premium X did such a nice job I don't know why anyone would want another version.

I'm waiting for someone to do this generation of Riviera. Already have a Western Models built kit of the "boat tail" generation. And there are some bargain priced Road Signatures boat tails in multiple colors.

That Premium X '71 Riv in green looks superb ! A great looking car represented by this equally fine replica. I have YM's very nice 1971 1/43 Riviera also in a green color.

I agree with you. I have a group of Buicks ranging from 1941 to 1964 plus a 1970 GSX. Something relatively modern would be a nice addition.

@ed-davis The Enclave is marked MSZ on the base. The Regal marked Luxury Diecast. The Enclave may have some extra BMF detailing. Here are a few other newer Buicks.
A Lacross also by Luxury Diecast, a 1991 Park Avenue, no base plate marking, but thought to be NEO, a 1988 Riviera by Best of Show (BoS).

Could any of these newer Buicks have been produced as some sort of dealer editions? I like to see later models of subjects I may have owned .
But I suppose cars of our favorite eras will always be the heart of Forum members' collections.

I do not believe any of my pictured Buicks were produced as dealer/manufacturer promotional items. American car companies are not much into that concept. BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover are much more tuned into 43rd scale models and many are offered in their accessory boutique websites or at dealer parts counters. Here is a link to the Land Rover site:

I love that model, David. I have a red TSM 71 that's really nice but I'd add this Premium X if I could find it at a reasonable price.
