Buick Riviera 1989
Production year: 1989
No. of produced cars: Information not available at the moment.
The smaller dimensions of the seventh generation Riviera, generic styling, and lack of a V8 led to sales plummeting. A restyle for 1989 that added 11 inches (280 mm) to the overall length (on an unchanged wheelbase) helped, but only incrementally, boosting sales for 1989, but dropping in 1993, the shortened final year of that model. The last 1993 Riviera rolled off the Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly plant line on December 10, 1992.
