What an ugly design, late or last design of the Buick Riviera


I hope this and every example of it's ugly kin give their last as demolition derby cars, the only thing I can think that would redeem their hideous existance. Yup, uglier than anything from the 70's AMC.

Well, I pointed out the obvious to the sellers who looked across the aisle at each other, and maybe they'll do those Essex hub caps a solid favor, and work out a deal to make it a foursome.
