Anyone who's visited our shop will probably have noticed we're BIG fans of this generation of Buick Riviera. They're sleek, sexy, meaty, have a serious mid 60s style but also extremely comfortable. A fantastic blend of muscle car attitude and comfortable spacious interiors the 63-65 Buick Rivvy is a great vehicle and THIS particular car is on the top of the awesome pile.
With chrome all over to compliment the BEAUTIFUL gloss black body, this one we have worked on several times over the past few years as the owner brings it to us for small things here and there. In this case, he wanted to change the attitude of the car moving away from the classic Buick wire wheel hub caps and switching over to gorgeous polished chrome American Racing Torq Thrust wheels. The transformation from suited gentleman to brawler came pretty quickly, well, once we solved the nightmare of getting these things ON the car!
Unfortunately these cars run a very large and odd center bore which drastically limits the wheel choices when looking to go aftermarket. So some creative solutions were needed! Hot rodding isn't just about bolting parts on to a platform to make it better or more interesting, a lot of the time it gets into modifying something to make something different fit. So here we go!
As you can see at the end, the compliment of the American Racing wheels with white wall custom tires made by Diamond Back Classics makes one HUGE change! Gotta say being able to take a modern Sumitomo tire and convert it to working/looking right on a classic car is AWESOME! So huge props to the team at DBtires.com for the new treads!
Oh, and just in case you were wondering yes that is the rumble of a 425 wildcat (Buick Nail Head) you hear coming out of the pipes!
Lucore Automotive is a small independent american small business located just outside Columbus Ohio. While we are a full service shop that maintains and repairs countless daily drivers we are also well known for our work on classics, race cars, and collector cars.
We would like to thank all of our friends, fans, follower, supporters, subscribers, and most importantly customers for being here with us! Without the wonderful people who let us work on their toys, and help their dreams come true we wouldn't be in business.
