Introduced into the Corgi range in 1964, the Buick Riviera was produced in gold, metallic blue and pale blue. It was given Glidamatic suspension and Corgi’s innovative ‘Trans-O-Lite’ front and rear lights – which could be independently operated by placing your hand over either the front windscreen or rear window.

Unusually for a Corgi it came with a rear tow hook, which could be hitched to a separately available boat and trailer (Corgi 104). The model sold well on both sides of the Atlantic – over 800,000 were produced – and remained in production until 1968. The most sought after version today is the version with wire wheels – as opposed to cast spokes or plain spun hubs. The Riviera and boat combination was also available as Gift Set (No.13).

Buick Riviera

Overall I'm pleased with how the Riviera looks. There are two things that bother me about it. The first is the what I think is the oversized trailer hitch on the rear of the car. The second thing is are the lights. There is no explanation on how they work, so I had to go to a diecast toy site to ask. After finding out, they just seem to work only when you shine a light through the windshield into the sensor mounted on the dash. With all of that said I still like the car and it's displayed with my other die-cast Riviera's.
