David Buick, Buick Motor Co.’s founder, produced the first Buick in 1899 and incorporated his company in 1903. William Durant became a controlling investor in Buick and formed General Motors in 1908 with Buick becoming the first General Motors brand. By this time, Buick was the largest automotive manufacturer in the world. David Buick sold his interest in his company in 1906 and was a very wealthy man but died 25 years later with just modest means.
The second generation of Buick Rivieras, which we’re featuring today, was redesigned for the 1966 model year. It was a little longer and wider than the previous model year and weighed about 200 pounds more. The front vent windows, a General Motors invention, were gone, and it had cleverly hidden headlights behind the grille.
This issue’s featured vehicle is a 1968 Buick Riviera GS owned by David Gavazza, an Orinda resident. Gavazza’s father bought the car new from Herrera Buick, a very prestigious dealer in downtown Oakland, and it was the only new car he ever owned. The owner believes his father saved up a long time to pay about $7,200 in cash for the car . The car now has 78,000 miles on it and has always been garaged.
