1999 Buick Riviera: The Last One, and the Silver Arrow

This record's own dek calls 1999 directly the last Riviera, with 1,956 built and the final 200 finished as Silver Arrow editions; this record's own overview credits the eighth-generation car's construction to Orion Township, Michigan, on the G platform shared with the Oldsmobile Aurora, and its own production row is reported without a paired conflict, the Owners Association's own table and Wikipedia's own production table agreeing directly on the 1,956 total for the model's last year.^1,2

This record's own production section carries a separate Silver Arrow row, 200 cars built with the supercharged 3800 V-6, sourced to both the Owners Association's own 1999 row and Wikipedia's own final eighth-generation paragraph. This record's own engines section carries only the one entry, the supercharged 3800 Series II under code L67 at 240 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, listed as standard for the year, its own displacement given as 231 cubic inches and its induction listed simply as supercharger.^1,2

This record's own key facts section, drawn directly from the Evolution article, states that for 1999 Buick made standard full-range traction control, heated power mirrors, programmable automatic door locks and a 125-amp alternator, its own text carrying no price attached to any of those four features. This record's own prices section is entirely empty for the year, with no MSRP figure carried anywhere in this record's own text for the final model year.³

This record's own options section carries just a single entry for the final model year, 16-inch chrome-plated wheels for four wheels under code PO5, its own note stating the wheels were available but carried no price on the Owners Association's chart, a gap this record's own text leaves unfilled rather than estimating a figure that was not itself printed anywhere in the source. This record's own conflicts section is entirely empty for 1999, its own production row carrying an uncontested count rather than a disputed status for the model's final year.⁴

This record's own paint table carries 12 colours in total from the Owners Association's 1999 chart, its own text marking several as new for the final year, Sterling Silver Metallic, Gold Firemist and Dark Bronze Mist Metallic among them, plus Titanium Blue, which its own note says was available only from February 1999 onward, later in the model's final production run. Its interiors section carries 5 trims, all standard leather buckets: Light Gray, Medium Blue, Light Autumn Green, Bordeaux Red and Taupe, every row sourced to the same 1999 color-and-trim chart as the paint table above it.⁴

This record's own specifications section carries seven 1999 figures from the Owners Association's weights-and-measures table: 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, and a P225/60R16 tire size. 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, key-facts and paint sections as this record's own richest sources for the model's final year.⁵
