    The 74-76 Rivieras are odd ducks. Not much of a following, so this car may be in search of the right buyer for some time. History has been much kinder to the 71-73 boatails. Polarizing when new, they have grown into a classic with time. One of Bill Mitchell’s excesses at the time, the original design was initially intended for the GM A-body mid-size platform. Ultimately, product timing cycles moved the design to the new for ‘71 full size chassis making for an enormous coupe. It would have been interesting to see the boatail design in smaller scale as intended. It might have been a much better seller.
