tennesseestorm ◊ 2009-04-06 06:52	Yeah that was the top of the line Electra Riviera 4dr hardtop.... a very rare car these days. That was a movie filmed in 1983... I wonder if the car still exists?
electra225 ◊ 2009-11-16 19:55	This car is not a Riviera, which would be an hardtop, but a simplier Electra (not 225) 4 door sedan.

The base Electra 4 door sedan had a similar roofline but this one is an Electra 225 Riviera 6 window hardtop [4829]. -- Last edit: 2012-01-13 20:45:07
Commander 57 ◊ 2012-01-13 20:53	Per review of the '59 Buick brochure on line, PhilR is correct. The blurriness of the photo just makes it look like there is a "B" pillar. -- Last edit: 2012-01-13 20:54:00
