Buick Riviera 1966-1970 G2

by Ross Mills

The Buick Riviera from 1966 to 1970 was like a fine wine, getting better with age—if wine could also gain weight and horsepower. Starting with a sleeker body and hidden headlights, it bulked up with a 430 V8 engine, then hit the gym in 1970 with a 455 V8. It added safety features, locked steering, and even fender skirts, like it was preparing for a fashion show. Despite its hefty appetite for fuel, it sold over 227,000 units, proving that sometimes bigger really is better—at least on the sales floor.

by Ross Mills

Step into the jet age with Cadillac’s Series 62 from 1954 to 1956, where luxury meets aerodynamic audacity! The ’54 model dropped a few pounds—vertically—and flaunted a wraparound Eldorado windshield, making heads turn faster than its 17.5-second 0-60 mph. In ’55, Cadillac added tubeless tires and a “hockey stick” chrome trim, boosting sales to a record 118,190. By ’56, the Series 62 had a grill fancier than a Michelin-starred meal and could sprint to 60 mph in a brisk, for its size, 12 seconds.

by Ross Mills

Chevy’s Mark IV engines roared into the automotive scene with a bang, featuring a variety of big-block beasts. The 396-cubic-inch version made waves in the Corvette and Chevelle with its 375 hp output, while the 427-cubic-inch monster, available in the Corvette and the unassuming Biscayne, delivered neck-snapping performance. Dubbed the Bisquick, the Biscayne transformed from a taxicab lookalike to a speedster with 425 hp. Even with aluminum heads reducing weight, these engines proved old-school horsepower ratings were more optimistic than realistic.
