1992 Buick Riviera: Sources Disagree on the Count

This record's own dek states directly that sources disagree on 1992 production, giving either 12,585 or 12,324; this record's own production section leaves the total row itself disputed rather than picking a figure, its own note pointing readers to the conflicts section for the full treatment. This record's own conflicts section restates both numbers formally, the Owners Association's own table at 12,585 against Wikipedia's own seventh-generation production table at 12,324, with both shown and neither preferred over the other.^1,2

This record's own conflicts section also carries a price disagreement: the Owners Association's own options-and-prices page gives $24,560 for the year, while its own Evolution article instead gives $25,415; this record's own treatment note explains that the options page simply repeats its own 1991 figure rather than printing a distinct 1992 price. This record's own prices section carries both figures as separate rows, the $24,560 row carrying its own note that it is the same figure the Owners Association prints for 1991.^3,4

This record's own options section itemizes 16 entries in total, each priced individually by the Owners Association's own transcription of the 1992 order form, including a $1,069 SE Prestige Package bundling remote keyless entry, body-color heated power mirrors, an electric trunk pull-down and a theft-deterrent system with starter interrupt, and a $520 SD Premium Package bundling a six-way power passenger seat, Twilight Sentinel headlamp control and an automatic day/night mirror; both packages are described here only by their own bundled contents, without an order code letter in this record's own transcription of the price list.³

This record's own options section also prices a $695 heavily padded Landau roof under code C04 across eleven listed colours, a $134 Gran Touring Package under code Y56 bundling a Gran Touring suspension, a 2.97 axle ratio, a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and shift handle, 15-inch aluminum wheels, fast-ratio power steering and Eagle GT-4 tires, and a $235 Riviera Appearance Package under code RIV that this record's own text notes is unavailable with either D84 or Y56.³

This record's own paint table carries 13 colours from the Owners Association's 1992 chart, its own note listing twelve Landau vinyl-top colour codes. Its interiors section carries 15 trims across standard cloth buckets, extra-cost leather-and-suede buckets, and the 14-way driver's bucket in leather and vinyl, each in colourways this record's own chart gives as Primavera Blue, Graphite, Light Gray or Medium Gray, Light or Medium Beige, and Red, every row sourced to the same 1992 color-and-trim chart.⁵

This record's own specifications section carries seven 1992 figures from the Owners Association's weights-and-measures table: a 3,497-pound curb weight, a 108.0-inch wheelbase, front and rear track of 59.9 and 59.9 inches, a 198.3-inch overall length, a 71.6-inch width, a 53.5-inch height, and a dual P205/70R15 standard and P215/65R15 optional tire size, each figure sourced to the same 1992 weights-and-measures row. This record's own identification and unpublished-leads sections are both empty for the year, and its own engines, performance and transmissions sections carry no entries either, leaving the conflicts and options sections as this record's own richest sources for 1992.⁶
