I got this model many years ago and I still love it. I installed a better set of whitewalls and it greatly improved how it displays. Of course I am partial to the Riviera because I owned a 1:1.

Really nice, especially with your tire swap and that slick black paint. 👍 👍

I posted pictures of the 1949 Roadmaster Convertible in Sequoia Cream last week. I did the same whitewall treatment on that one also. Both are from TSM but came with narrow whitewalls that don't do justice to otherwise very nice models.Really nice, especially with your tire swap and that slick black paint. 👍 👍
The side and fender trims on these models are individual chrome parts that really set them apart and really shine on display. The Riviera sweep spear trim was introduced late in the 1949 production year and became a trademark of Buicks for years to come.
