1995 Buick Riviera: The Eighth Generation Returns

This record's own dek states that the Riviera returned on the G platform for 1995 with a 205-horsepower 3800 V-6 and an optional 225-horsepower supercharged version, this record's own overview crediting the eighth-generation car's construction to Orion Township, Michigan, on a platform shared with the Oldsmobile Aurora. This record's own engines section gives the standard 3800 Series II under code L36 at 205 horsepower and 230 pound-feet of torque, and the optional supercharged 3800 under code L67 at 225 horsepower and 275 pound-feet, both ratings sourced to Wikipedia's own engines table.^1,2

This record's own production section carries a current-page engine breakdown that this record's own text does not otherwise flag as surprising: only 8,147 Rivieras carried the standard L36, while 33,272, the clear majority, carried the supercharged L67, summing to the current page's own 41,419 total. This record's own conflicts section separately notes that the 2007-captured Owners Association page and its Evolution article both give 41,422, a total the current live page instead splits as 41,419, with the existing total row marked disputed and both versions shown.^3,1,4

This record's own conflicts section also carries a price disagreement: the Owners Association's own options-and-prices page gives $28,830 for the coupe, while its own Evolution article instead gives a base price of $27,632; both figures are shown rather than resolved. This record's own prices section repeats both figures as separate rows, the higher figure labelled for the GD07 coupe body code and the lower one carried simply as the Evolution article's own base-price sentence.^5,4

This record's own key facts section is entirely empty for 1995; the production, conflicts and engines sections carry the year's narrative detail instead. This record's own options section itemizes 12 entries in total, including a $310 memory and heated driver's seat with memory mirrors under code A43, a $600 three-passenger leather split bench with armrest under code AM6, and a $650 leather bucket seat with a full operating console under code AS7, each row priced individually by the Owners Association's own transcription of the 1995 order form.⁵

This record's own paint table carries 12 colours from the Owners Association's 1995 chart, its own note listing ten optional accent-stripe colour codes. Its interiors section carries 13 trims, opening with a standard 55/45 split-bench cloth seat in Adriatic Blue, Bright White and Dark Ruby Red among its listed colours, its own note adding that the bench and bucket leather trims share codes on the Owners Association's own chart.⁶

This record's own specifications section carries nine 1995 figures from the Owners Association's own sources: a 3,788-pound curb weight, a 113.8-inch wheelbase, front and rear track of 62.5 and 62.6 inches, a 207.0-inch overall length, a 75.0-inch width, a 55.2-inch height, a P225/60R16 tire size, a 3.05:1 rear axle ratio, and the 230/275 pound-feet torque pairing already cited from the engines section. This record's own identification and unpublished-leads sections are both empty for the year, and its own performance and transmissions sections carry no entries either, leaving the production, conflicts and engines sections as this record's own richest sources for 1995.^7,4
