Very nice car! My aunt had a dark cherry, almost purple '68 Riviera in the mid 80's (I was in my early teens then) and I always loved how that car looked and how comfortable it was. I also loved watching the headlights operate as that was probably my favorite part of the whole car.

[@califdad4]

Love 60s Rivieras, these were such beautiful cars. My favorite is the 66-67, which had the last of the Riviera only dash

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

Something about the sound of hood springs just makes me happy. Even if they're stiff, rusty, worn out, whatever. They have that sound of the past...

[@tonyscarcare5657]

I totally agree with you on that one!

[@riaanpotgieter475]

Wow!!! 😳 Awesome car!!! Awesome colour combination!!!

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Thank you very much for watching and commenting! Much appreciated.

In 1968 I was 23 years old and just started a new job and moved into a new apartment. I WANTED this car SO BADALY ! Trouble was it was too expensive for me so I bought a 1968 Buick GS400 Convertable instead. It cost me a little over $3,200 . LOVED the car, but always loved the Riviera.

[@dougbelanger3479]

I think that GS 400 would be worth a whole lot more than my Riviera is today

[@leightonfarms4962]

Stunning Buick 👍

[@cardo1111]

That's a beautiful car appreciate you guys sharing it with us 👍🏽

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Thank you!

[@DSP1968]

It is a really nice Riviera, I like the color combination.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Yeah, it looks great!

[@robertgastreich9846]

I love that car. My brother-in-law had a car like that. His was brown with a black top and all the options. I just love any GM car, along with the Fords.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Yeah, that is a really nice car.

[@markdc1145]

Stunning car! Peak GM design, and it will never ever be as good as this again. Would love to have one if I only had the garage space. Just saw this car featured on Adam's Rare Classic Car channel.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Yep, Adam was there. I've got some Adam video coming up.

​@dougbelanger3479 Didn't it bother you having that one stranger putting his hands on that beauty? Not even my car and I was screaming at him through my phone..."Get your hands off the car!".

My buddy had a ‘66 and a ‘70. Both luxury tire smokers.

I bet so!

[@tonytrotta9322]

Beautiful car! Too bad your friend didn't have a Mopar he would have helped his company, got a discount and on all parts, and enjoyed those cars too! I have a 1970 Chrysler Newport Custom with 383 from a 69 that has never been apart and a 1962 Imperial Crown all original. The only thing I do not like about the Imperial is the power windows have power on without the keys which is a safety concern with children. Also, I have my 1988 Dodge Ramcharger that I bought new - never driven in snow. Thanks for your video!

[@tonyscarcare5657]

You're welcome. Thank you very much for watching! I do not like power windows working without the key either.

[@tonytrotta9322]

@@tonyscarcare5657 I forget to mention I love your 68 Ford too! Awesome car that style will never get old looking! Take care!

[@tonyscarcare5657]

@tonytrotta9322 Thank you. I grew up in a 68 XL convertible, so I'm pretty partial to them.

[@tonytrotta9322]

@@tonyscarcare5657 Thanks fine - great story and a lot of great memories! Take care!

W shaped ReaR... same as my 1965 Electra

[@DanEBoyd]

Was that Silver Beige different from the Cortez Silver used by Chevrolet? In this video it looks to be close to the same color, but in Adam's video of this car, the beige was more apparent in the views of the front of the car, where the sun was shining. But his shots of the rear of the car had it looking more silver-ish, as in this video.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

That would be a question for Doug or Adam.

[@johnfrei9057]

There isn’t a current American made car that even begins to compare to the mid-60s Detroit cars in terms of design, passion and fun.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Agreed!

[@leewalker3514]

Wow nice car but 68 XL FORD is beautiful

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Yeah, I'd never trade my XL for it, that's for sure.

[@scottludlow6873]

@@tonyscarcare5657One of a few cars I regret selling! Funny It was on ebay in 2005 with a buy it now of $5000 when I bought it. The guy bought in new and still had all the original paint and even had the plastic seat covers they used to put on. I lived in Naples FL at the time and he lived in Chicago my brother went to look at the car for me and called and said if I didn't buy it he would. I still have a window sticker if Doug wants it.

[@dougbelanger3479]

Hey Scott, you have a good eye there. Tony sent a screenshot of your comment so I checked the VIN, sure enough, it is the same car.

[@dougbelanger3479]

@@scottludlow6873 I would like to get that window sticker. Would also like to know whatever you can tell me about your ownership. Did you sell it to someone in Fort Meyers? Cheers, Doug

HI TONY CHECK WITH DOUG IF HE WILL SELL THE BUICK , LOVE TO BUY IT THANKS

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Doug doesn't sell anything. He just buys more. Sorry.

I was born in the wrong era. I can't stand all these modern plastic, computer controlled vehicles. Give me some good old American steel from the 60's to 80's anyday
