Is it me or do cars like these have appeal only because today’s cars are so outright boring? What should be considered ugly as hell seems “quaint” when compared to the onslaught of sameness offered to us these days in the form of model after model, regardless of brand that looks like another flavor of lozenze with…

It’s payable in bones.

Isn’t the Amanti more reliable?

Saturn was definitely supposed to be the next Cutlass Calais before they created the brand. Look at a first gen SL next to a Cutlass Supreme.

“Baby, you’re everything I never knew I wanted."

Chrysler Imperial (I know, its the poor mans Rolls but I am a sucker for suicide doors)

Make it with suicide doors and MAYBE.

AMC’s groovy Turbo Van.

Since most of my favorites have already been mentioned...... I’ll dig up a few alternatives.

It’s Switzerland. They’re Swiss.

I’d say you are completely out of touch with reality if you think you can get a fairly reliable daily driver that is fun for $500. I’d be willing to bet a pretty significant chunk of change that 1) it was a rust bucket that barely ran - fun for a toy, but not in the least bit trustworthy to get you 30 miles to work…

For the record, that looks like a 1995, not a 1996. The eighth-gen Riviera debuted for MY1995 toward the beginning of calendar year 1994. It carried over the Series-I 3800 engine, in both naturally-aspirated and supercharged flavors. For 1996, it received the Series-II 3800 N/A and supercharged that had a bit more…

My mother had one of these when I was about 14. Both of my parents worked and I was a latchkey kid. Often my dad would be out of town and mom would take his car and leave the Riviera in the garage while she was at work. During the summer, I would usually call a couple of my buddies in the neighborhood, swing by their…
