I always believed the 1965 Buick Riviera has been the epitome of GM classic design with the latest refinements of the first series. Many 1963 and a few 1964 have been done.

Spark Models is the only company to have produced a detailed and fully trimmed model that is a nice companion to the Goldvarg 1963.

An elegant beauty for sure.  So good in fact, that most customizers rarely do more than to shave & lower  these cars.  It's hard to improve upon these great looks.

@chris IMO many customizers ruin more cars than they improve. The 65 Riviera certainly is a high water mark in car design.

@bob-jackman, I agree. IMO, Mitchell's finest work, and that is saying a lot.

I have that Spark model and it's a beauty.  The car itself is design perfection in my book.
