Seriously??? You're going to compare a Riviera to a Corvette? For me, it's the

Riviera with no reservations at all.

The '63 Riviera is one of the most beautifully styled cars of the 1960's. While the Corvette, well the less said the better.

If I could have only one of these beauties, it'd be the Riviera.

I've always hankered after the Riviera since I was a kid. Not so much the Corvette although this is the only car out of the two presented here today that I have actually driven.

In ‘63, Buick still had the PNDLR shifter hooked to a Dynaflow, Corvette please.

Difficult to choose - both are iconic. I can't choose one over the other..

as they represent different markets. I remember as a 15 year old being smitten with both when they were first announced.

That took nerve to put a Riv up against a Corvette. Two different markets. Corvette please.
