The pillarless-coupe design includes a chrome spear on the hood, chrome vent accents ahead of the rear wheels, and dual exhaust outlets. Additional features include vent windows, contoured chrome bumpers, and LaSalle-inspired vertical grilles at the outer edges of the front end. This example was originally finished in Surf Green (JJ) and was repainted during previous ownership according to the seller.
Chromed Buick Rally wheels feature Riviera-logo center caps and are mounted with 15″ Dunlop whitewall tires. The steering and brakes are power-assisted, and the brake system was serviced by Benchmark Automotive of Kingston, Washington, with new front and rear wheel cylinders, springs, and bearings in 2019. The shocks were also replaced during this service along with the coil springs, which are fitted with lowering clamps, in addition to other suspension and steering components listed in the gallery below.
A green (610) monochromatic treatment is carried throughout the interior, including the bucket seats, door panels, and replacement carpets. Cabin appointments include woodgrain veneer on the center console and door panels, power window controls housed within the full-length armrests, and a Buick Sonomatic AM radio. The air conditioning system has been converted to R134a refrigerant, but it does not blow cold according to the seller.
Cabin materials, finishes, and equipment are pictured further in the gallery below. Dakota Digital gauges are recessed within the stock instrument openings and feature a digital odometer that indicates 82k miles, approximately 300 of which have been added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
