It should be a '71, as it's mentioned often on the show. |

It really is a 1972. The 1971 model has a different grille with horizontal bars, different bumpers without rubber impact strips and different taillights with an horizontal divider (this car lacks it) The trunk door of the 1971 has louvers for the ventilation and this one also lacks them. The side mouldings that were standard on the '72 were not available on the 1971. |

The series was made 10 years ago. There 1972-made cars were rather junk than untouchable classics. As 1982' cars today. |

Well, they were about as inexpensive to buy as they are today... But in 1990, there was already a feature on the 1971-73 Rivieras in Collectible Automobile (the first issue I have bought at a grocery store when I was 13!) and while it wasn't a high value car, it was already a special interest car that turned heads and had decent performance for a full size car. Most cars of 1982 will never be like those of 1972... In 1982, many cars (including the Riviera) had switched to FWD and they had poor performance and not too distinctive styling. A friend of mine could tell you about as he used to have a Riviera from the early eighties and he still has a 1972 Riviera GS which is a whole different car. It did appear in many Due South episodes and was seen often (in car chases too). And here it is, listed as a '71 again... /vehicle_517308-Buick-Riviera-1971.html -- Last edit: 2012-07-20 00:02:35 |

After the show went off the air I saw one of the Rivieras used in the series at a movie car company located just north of Toronto. I considered offering to purchase it but it was in such rough shape the restoration would have been cost prohibitive. |

think it should get 5 stars |
◊ 2018-02-12 15:05 |
Why don't any of the other admins do that? |
◊ 2018-02-16 15:49 |
Why? |

intensive use during Seasons 1 to 3 , some plot points were revaulving around this car , like it being stolen or destroyed and then repaired or replaced with an identical one... |
◊ 2018-02-16 19:18 |
The kind of thing that occurs in a lot of series/movies, 4-star seems enough for that. |
◊ 2018-02-16 19:21 |
at least the eps number should be 1.* |
◊ 2018-02-16 21:09 |
Episode number is the one of the picture. There are comments to indicate in what other episodes it appears. |
