The paint job is insane! Honestly we should expect nothing less from Ryan. He's a master of his craft.

[@darylsturges3830]

the paint really flows with the cars curves and interior, beautiful , havent seen anything like it before, seats are alive like a river

[@fuller6544]

According to the shop, 1800 man hours between the 3 main painters to make this happen. I have seen this car in person three times and it is impossible to see everything that is in the paint. The seats are just wild. Shine a light on the back seats and see Danny's picture come thru. Amazing. I forget how many pounds of metal flake that went into this but just crazy.

[@Openup0911]

The detail on that art work is insane.

One of the coolest cars I've ever seen! One sweet sweet ride!

[@lcriveralcr1627]

Not a fan of the interior or that front grill but the rest looked amazing

Paint job was sick but the interior was straight garbage 🗑

[@kingofnewyork8818]

@David Bryant well that is just disappointing because they lead us on to believe that they are works of art when they are just glorified hoopties

[@714milky]

The interior is terrible! I've seen a lot of low lows with gaudy interiors, but they somehow look good. This was just bad.

[@getchasome6230]

While I completely agree, they were adhering to a theme.

2+ years later im still watching these

[@Joe_Blo]

I still remember the day my dad brought his home. I had never seen such a magnificent car before at age 13. He bought it used in 1975, but it was pristine. It may seem like just a unique 70s car today, but in it's day, it may have as well been a UFO to those who had never seen one before. The 455 HP was smogged down but the torque was there. It ran smooth at idle and full throttle, and had a lot of passing power. I pegged the speedo one night, and it stuck beyond the bezel for a second. I hundred thoughts we t through my head on how I was going to explain that. Fortunately, it released after a few seconds. The front bumper has cylinders to compress to absorb blows without damage. They were necessary because it was difficult to gauge where the front bumper was because of the long hood. And it was common practice for people to tap bumpers against the cars on either end when parallel parking. The rear stinger bumper could damage most other cars if they bumped it. My dad kept his until he died in 2000. My jerk brother sold it to his friend for $100 before I realized it. I sure miss the smooth ride of that car and other large cars of that era.

[@ovargas39]

Hats off to the crew for this one this is easily top 3 for me I love this Buick riviera and the paint job man don’t get me started

[@rogerbaker4531]

What and awesome beautiful Buick Riviera. One of my favorite cars of the 1970's. I enjoy looking at that car. Especially the interior. Pure awesomeness.

I love Rivieras and what you done to this one just makes me want one so much more just the way you done it love this car

Great job on the Boattail!! Danny has a great team!!

I would have liked to see Ryan explaining how he painted it. Must be a multi-step process??

No he did it in one go

Yes, that job and Ryan def deserved more time, best I can recall of this style.

Best car in the all time in Word. Ican Just choise this for all time alone. Iran

[@toddy505]

love it apart from the paint job, would have looked 10 x better with a plain paint job and some discreet pinstriping.

[@vitald8796]

If it was just plain, it wouldn't stand out in all the cars at the car show, you have to be unique and try to make the car stand out, which I think they did a phenomenal job.

[@martinfahrni5677]

Flabbergasted, just beautiful.

[@daedricprince5837]

The interior is absolutely hideous

[@YorkiepudUK]

Paint job was insane..... not a lover of the interior if I'm honest especially the LED lights, but a beautiful car none the less.

[@ericmcginnis9413]

It's cool, but way too much going on for my liking, then again it's not mine!

[@vitald8796]

For a car show, I think it was phenomenal, got to be unique and go all out to stand out at a show with that many nice cars.

[@jeffleblanc8850]

That riveira has the most awesome paint job wen he’s done with it I give it a 10 and I’m a mopar guy but this suits the paint he put on it

The mic guy was too busy looking at the car to mic up the guy lol

They need to do a 74 model Buick Riviera but cut off the roof and make it a convertible.

[@boataxe4605]

Love these! Always thought it looked like a giant stingray. But the grill becomes too much without the bumper splitting it. Turned a beautiful front end into an ugly one.

only thing better than these boat tails was the proposed model that GM rejected which would've been built on their A frame. That would've been the most beautiful car of the 70's had they produce it.
