I'm 71 years young & born and raised in Detroit...I had a 65 Riviera...let me say this, if I was rich I would give anything you asked for that car I just seen on your video I'm "flabbergasted" at all the craftsmanship you guys put into that car unbelievable you should be proud !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I'm so in love with this Riviera as well! It's a money no object build that I would love to own.

[@bawintermage8351]

I certainly hope you get your chance to at least drive another one, my neighbor has a 71 , that rear end is so sweet

[@brianMcGranahan0311]

Sir! If you really like these first gen Rivieras, check my personal channel I have a 64 that gets that same reaction when people see it. (Not trying to promote my shitty videos, but I know how rare these cars are and even fewer are those who know and appreciate them.)

[@tomquinn607]

One of the best restomods I've ever seen. As a Buick guy I have to say its great to see the 65 Riviera get its due. A classic American Grand Touring car paid tribute to in a beautiful, well thought out build. I'm now a subscriber. Great work!

[@brianMcGranahan0311]

@@tomquinn607 the best one I’ve ever seen was the vanquish Riviera from Sema

[@ricksand6477]

What a work of art, guys! I'm a Riviera fanatic. The 1965 is the high point for this storied marque. Usually I'm a stickler for authenticity, but I have to give you well-deserved props for your beautiful work. You've managed to enhance the classic design with modern features. Your Riviera isn't just another resto-mod. This car shows great respect for the original and one must appreciate the thought and design sense that went into the build. The level of craftsmanship also looks second-to-none. Thanks for sharing!

[@amjrpain919]

Cadillac really dropped the ball passing on this one!...

[@cannondevin]

The amount of work y’all put into to keeping the original look but upgrading everything at the same time is amazing.

[@stephencurry8552]

Really? Amazing? They were paid to do what they did. In what way is that amazing? Please explain.

[@cannondevin]

@@stephencurry8552 is amazing because it’s not that money but the skill set. Many people are paid to do things at time that they cannot fulfill

[@Restorationshopyt]

Go back to flipping burgers, NOT Steph Curry. Nobody cares.

[@soyounoat]

Probably the first time I have made this comment: The trunk interior on this car is the sweetest I have ever seen.

[@stevemehan7276]

I’ve always thought the 65 Riviera is one of the most beautiful cars ever designed … now kicked up to notches unknown!

[@jonathanparker5375]

I’m impressed. This is the best Riviera I have ever seen.🎉

[@haffrods7055]

Knocked it out of the park. Very nice job DSE crew. I love all the details especially when you keep that original style.

[@dh2360]

I'm a Mopar diehard but this Buick is sleek and very cool, worth while project that is extremely well done.

[@garethmorris6323]

Wow, Wow, Wow! Absolutely an amazing build guy's!!!!!

[@momchilyordanov8190]

The guy who did these bumpers... man! Give him a medal or something. The guy is not a metal worker, he's a jeweller!

[@strangemanmtd8350]

That's one of the best resto mod build I have ever seen.

[@steved7085]

Amazing skill and workmanship has gone into this car, all that time and effort has produced a beautiful vehicle.

[@kenglavens6455]

I love 99.9% of it. Wish you would have kept it as a 65 in the rear with the tail lights in the bumper. To me, along with the stacked hidden head lights, that 1965 update is what made 65 the favorite of that generation..IMHO. Nevertheless, it's still spectacular.

[@michaelcrafter8994]

Man this guy has passion, you can tell. And he knows this car inside and out. Really enjoyed his presentation

[@jamesrobert4106]

From England...That car is simply staggering.

[@raynabozny2338]

My parents had a 66 but the 65 was always my favorite.

[@justinwhitaker3537]

American craftsmanship at it's finest!

[@mitchellschwartz2148]

The work by DSE is legendary. Subtle, not overdone, but on close inspection, all of the trick modernization is discovered. What is not to LOVE?

[@earlputnal9124]

An extremely sweet ride. And extensive but efficient work done to keep it as original as possible. Very good work guys.

[@stevekalas4943]

This is a brand new Riviera with modern features. Beyond Expectations. Kudos.

[@detroitspeed]

Thank you!

[@motomuso]

Beyond beautiful! Nice that Jason gives credit to each craftsman in this tour. Heaps of talent on display here.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

The shifters and the seats... just nail the GS spec of the car. Cruiser, but fun and spirited. Gorgeous colors throughout! The choice of wood was keen. What a work of Art and Spirit that functions!

[@joeleonardo5119]

That stock looking steering wheel and paddle shifter integration just blew me away ..... absolute masters

[@sru1436]

Beautiful work, love the hood ornament too!

[@rdpurdom]

Back in the late 70’s, before I moved from Southern California where I was raised, my brother and I restored 356 Porsches. Our first restoration win 2nd place at the Newport Fashion Island Concours Show. This is such a gorgeous and tastefully done car. Without question, one of the most beautiful car designs to ever come out of Detroit. I was born in Flint Michigan. My father worked at Bendix Brake works and my mother worked at Fisher Body. She did the embroidery for Cadillacs. The changes you made were perfect@ especially the clam door light covers. PERFECT! Can’t wait to see your next re-creation!

[@michaelwilliams8297]
